How does it work in Baltimore?
A key fob does up to three jobs: the remote buttons lock and unlock the doors, the transponder lets the engine start, and on push-to-start cars the fob is the key. Programming makes the car accept the new fob for each of those, and we test every function before we leave.
Common reasons people call: a spare fob so the household is not down to one, a fob that was dropped or got wet, a used fob bought online, or a "key not detected" message on a push-to-start car.

Key fob programming in Baltimore: questions
Can a locksmith program a push-to-start key?
Yes. We program proximity smart keys for push-button-start cars on-site for most makes and test that the car starts.
Can you program a key fob I bought online?
Sometimes. It has to be the exact fob for your car and in a condition that can be programmed. Tell us the part number when you call.
My car says "key not detected." Do I need a new fob?
Not always. It is often the battery or a fob that lost programming. We test it first.
Is there a mobile locksmith that does key fobs near Baltimore?
Yes. Mega Lock And Key programs key fobs at your car across Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Harford, and Howard counties.
Will my remote start still work with a new fob?
When the replacement fob matches your model, yes; we program and test it.
