Broken Keys

After several years of usage it's not uncommon for keys to break. If your key has a break inside the lock, you'll have to replace it. If the rest of the key is in good shape you may be able to repair it.

A paperclip works well to grip the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. If the broken piece isn't stuck too far into the lock, you could try using pliers. If the key is damaged very close to the lock, you may require an "key extraction" tool that has an iron bar that has barbs that resemble a screw. The bar can be put into the lock and by twisting it, you can pierce the barb into the key to pull it out.

If you have the right tools, it's not difficult to replace keys on keyboards. You'll require a key cap (the plastic part that fits over the switch) and a key pad and a key retention clip. The cap for the key has small metal or plastic posts that are located on the underside and fit into small slots on the switch.

Fobs Not Working

It might seem a bit absurd to think that your device could require routine maintenance, but it isn't unusual to see them stop working at some moment. In some cases the issue is an easy one like dead batteries. If you've changed the batteries and your fob doesn't work, it may be time to try something else.

The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob ceases functioning. When you press the button on your fob, the contacts send a coded message to the receiver in your car, which communicates the action you would like the key to do. If the contacts on your key fob are worn out, you may not be able to press the button, or it could send a different message from the one you wanted.

A quick fix to this issue is to use a physical key in order to unlock your car doors or start the engine. You can reset the fob by following the instructions in the owner's handbook of your vehicle (check online for specific instructions).

If replacing the batteries and reprogramming your key fob isn't working it is possible to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys have to be programmed to correspond with your vehicle's specific VIN, and certain errors or wear-and-tear can cause this programming to become corrupted.
