I never really cared much for quality- and I soon realized how dearly it might cost me. I got a spare key made at a local hardware shop and handed it to the babysitter. A few days later, she called up saying that the keys I’d handed out to her had snapped in the lock and she couldn’t get into the home. My son was alone at home and without further ado, I rushed home. She had tried getting the broken pieces out herself but had only managed to push them in further. Frustrated, I went online looking for a locksmith that could help me out and found Advantage Locksmith Store at http://www.Seattle.Neighborhood-Locksmith-Store.com. Within 20 minutes, I had a new set of keys, my lock was restored to its former condition and I had a locksmith lecturing about why quality was extremely important. Well, I’m never going back to that hardware shop in Alpharetta, GA again.. it’s always gonna be Advantage Locksmith Store for me! ...read more

Extremely thankful to Advanced Locksmith Service who got me out of a sticky spot recently! I worked part time at a bakery and opened shop every evening. But that day, when I tried opening the lock with the key, it snapped in half. I didn’t know why or how it happened, all I knew was that if my boss found out how careless I’d been, I would lose the job for sure. I wasn’t about to let that happen! So I called up Advanced Locksmith Service, the locksmiths my dad generally calls for house repairs and asked them if they could get a copy made. Eric `arrived within a few minutes from the nearest shop and I got the new key made within minutes. I wasn’t sure what it was going to cost me but the final bill was a pure delight.

A home safe can enable you to accomplish your security goals. Just locking the points of entry into your home, unfortunately, isn̢۪t always good enough. Yes, this can make a difference, and if you have something such as a security camera this might even serve to further deter theft. But what about the things you have inside? What if someone does get in? Or what if you have someone inside who you think you can trust, like a babysitter, nanny, contractor, or maintenance person, but as it turns out, they have underlying motives and would be willing to steal from you? You want to have the items that you care about hidden away. This idea also applies to belongings of yours that might stand out to someone else as valuable or expensive.

Transponder keys were an exciting innovation in vehicle security when they were developed in the mid-1990s and are still a feature of many vehicles on the road today. Transponder keys represent an ideal blend of anti-theft security and convenience for vehicle owners. However, as these systems see more wear and tear, they are more likely to need attention from a professional. You don’t have to turn to the dealership in most cases when you need transponder key services. Instead, you can rely on the services of alocal locksmith team in Alpharettawhen you need your transponder key problems diagnosed and treated. What Is a Transponder Key? Simply put, a transponder key is a type of vehicle key that has an electronic microchip embedded in the fob (head). When you insert the transponder key into the ignition, the microchip sends a signal via radio frequency to your car’s ignition system that contains a unique code. Most keys that have transponder chips can be identified by their plastic key fob. This code must match the one sent by the ignition system itself. If the code matches, then the engine’s immobilizer will disengage, allowing the engine to fire up. If the code doesn’t match, this chain of events won’t occur. Transponder keys are extremely popular to vehicle manufacturers because they not only increase the security of the vehicle in question, but the convenience of accessing and running it, too. In recent years, transponder key technology has been phased out in favor of remote keyless entry technology, but many vehicles on the road still use transponder keys. As these vehicles begin to wear down as the years progress, more locksmiths are seeing an increase in requests for transponder key replacements. Transponder Key Problems As with any technological advancement, there are potential issues that can develop, especially the longer you’ve used your transponder key. These problems can range in severity, with the worst preventing you from using your vehicle at all. If you suspect an issue with your transponder key, a licensed professional locksmith can assist you in determining the cause. Problem: The Chip Gets Damaged While you may think that your chip is impossible to damage due to its protective plastic housing, accidents can and do occur. If you drop your key from a significant height or accidentally smash your key, yourtransponder chip can become damaged. If this occurs, your entire transponder key will need to be replaced in most cases and the new key programmed to match your vehicle’s operating code. Problem: The Transponder Chip Loses Its Programming The coding for the transponder chip is programmed electronically, and operates using radio frequency. Occasionally, radio wave interference can scramble a transponder chip’s programming. This is more common in busy areas with lots of radio signals being sent and received at the same time. When this occurs, the transponder chip will require being reprogrammed by a professional in order to match the coding of your vehicle. The chip is usually wiped so that there’s a clean slate to work from and then the proper code is reprogrammed onto the chip.
