Key to the blade profile of the HU101 blade

The HU101 blade profile key is utilized on a large number of Ford automobiles. This key style was introduced in 2004 and replaced the Tibbe style. Unlike the Tibbe lock, which can be targeted by thieves, the HU101 lock is a much more secure lock. It is still a viable option on most Ford models. However, the Fiesta has a different type of profile key. The profile key HU162T on the Fiesta has a similar blade like the Fiesta, but it has milled tracks that run through the middle. The profile key is different in terms of the space and the depth between each cut, however the main difference lies in the shape.


To ensure the best fitting, it is recommended that you visit your local locksmith to get your key profile cut. The key blade profile needs to be cut to fit inside the new key shell. If the new key does not function, it means that your transponder's immobiliser chip isn't been transferred. In this case it is possible that a locksmith will be able to swap the transponder chips.

This new type of key comes with an electronic transmitter that is housed inside the head of the plastic key.
