  Rapid advancements in access control technology in recent times have enabled homeowners and businesses to look beyond traditional metal keys and have greater levels of convenience and security. More and more property owners today rely on electronic access control systems, which manage and control access to a property using various authentication methods, including keycards and passcodes. There are a wide variety of reasons why switching to a keyless entry system can be beneficial for you. Some of them include; 1. Convenience Keyless locks are easier to install and maintain than traditional locks and do not require any special tools or technical knowledge. They are a simple attachment installed on your door, and adding or revoking access is quick and simple.

  New technologies improve our lives. However, these improvements almost always come at a cost. Cable television gave us many more channels, but our TV viewing was no longer free. And, our electronic car keys are no exception to this rule. They offer many conveniences we really enjoy. Isn’t it nice to have doors that unlock themselves when your hands are full? And, it’s heaven to start your car from inside your home on a cold winter day! So, what’s the cost? The key will eventually malfunction. These electronic keys are expensive to replace, so you may want to try to repair your broken car key instead. Confirm the Key is the Problem The first thing you want to do is make sure the problem really is a broken car key . Maybe the key is fine, but the receiver inside the car is damaged. The easiest way to do this is to use another remote key. If the second key operates the locks and other functions, then the problem is with the first key. If the second key also doesn’t work, then the...

  Don’t Hide a Key Anywhere on the Car: Do you know people who have magnetic boxes they use to hide spare car keys in wheel wells or somewhere else on their car? We discourage this because there is nowhere on your car you can put the key that a car thief will not also look. Let’s face it – you are not going to roll under the car on a dolly looking for a really secure place, and anywhere that you can easily reach is also easily found. In addition, always keep track of all your car keys. If a car key is missing and may have been stolen, an automotive locksmith can replace the locks and make and reprogram replacement car keys so that the stolen key will no longer work. Never Leave Your Engine Running: 1/3 of car thefts occur near the owner’s home. So, did you forget something on your way out to work? We all do, and it’s always when we are running late. Resist the temptation to leave the car running while you go back inside the house, though. Turn off the engine and lock the car...

  Cutting a New Key 2.        Damaged Door Locks 3.        Programming a Remote Fob 4.       Locked Out   1. Cutting a New Key Most cars today have computers, and ignition keys have chips, called transponders. These chips allow the key to “talk” to the computer, ensuring that only an actual authorized key can be used to crank the engine. If a thief attempts to hotwire the car or an unprogrammed key is inserted into the ignition, the car will not start. However, this also means that a lost or damaged key can be problematic because you cannot simply have a new one cut. They must be programmed to communicate with the car’s computer. At BarzzLocks locksmith we can do this for you.   2. Damaged Door Locks : Whether through an accident, or intentional damage by a thief, it is not uncommon for door locks to be damaged.
