How SoCal Lock & Key Approaches Smart Lock Setup

Today's vehicle keys and smart locks are miniature computers. A transponder key, remote fob, or push-to-start proximity key carries encrypted electronics that have to be registered to your specific vehicle or system before they'll work. That's why a hardware-store copy alone won't start a modern car — the programming step is essential.

Our technicians carry professional diagnostic and programming equipment, so we cut and program keys and fobs on-site and confirm every function before we leave. When you've lost a key, we can also remove the missing one from the system so it can no longer be used.
