How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key It's a challenging task to replace your car key particularly if it's lost. To get a new one you'll have to contact an auto dealer or locksmith. This could cost you a significant amount of money. You can prevent this from happening by utilizing a company such as SR Key Solutions. Key Cutting Your keys are crucial to your everyday life, and when they're lost, it could cause a major inconvenience. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that can assist you in getting your life back on course. We provide both regular and high-security key duplicate. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate standard keys. The machine can duplicate mortise keys or key cylinders. The key is put in a vise, and then cut with a blade then the new key is deburred and scrubbed with a wire-brush built in the machine or manually with a bench grinder. This is to remove any burrs that may be sharp and damage the lock. You need a machine designed to cut high-security keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also extremely precise. It is a good idea bring the original key with you while cutting these keys since variations in the shape of the key could render it useless. We utilize Framon two manual machines, which are known to be the most reliable and stable in the market. Some customers have even shared stories of them falling off their workstations to the floor and being perfectly fine. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift. Transponder Programming If your Citroen has transponders, you will need a key programmed to the system. The transponder chip used in each car is unique to each car. If an alternative key was used, the on-board computer would not be able to recognize the serial numbers and the engine would not start. Normally when a car key is lost, the owner will go to the local dealer to obtain a replacement and then program it to the vehicle. This could take anywhere from two and five days, and the original key will be required. However you can cut down on the cost by getting a key from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key that allows you to start your vehicle with a new key. This will save you time and money as you don't have to sit around for the car dealer to create a replacement. Citroen models before 2000 can be made into spare keys in just a few minutes. The manufacturer recently added a PIN to an actual “security card” which is about the size of an ordinary credit card that is kept in the owner's wallet. This must be removed from the vehicle to program the new key. G28 Car Keys can do this for you and save you going to the dealer.
