Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) include an electronic chip inside their heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip sends a low-level signal to a receiver situated close to the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do this, it will cause the engine to switch on. Transponder chips are made to guard against theft of cars and that is why the majority of modern vehicles use them.

Transponder technology was first utilized in World War II, when coded messages were transmitted on radio frequencies to determine if aircraft arriving were friendly or hostile. The same idea was later used to create car keys in the form of General Motors creating the first transponder chip key in the year 1985 for its Corvette model. Since then, The Key Lab are equipped with them, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to incorporate the transponder chip.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the latest keyless entry innovations, which are now being used in a variety of vehicles. The key fob is carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, removing immobilisers from the vehicle and allows it to begin.

There are some disadvantages to proximity key systems, though. If the key fob is damaged or lost the fob isn't usable to start the vehicle. A locksmith or the dealership will have to replace it, which could be costly. Batteries also provide power to the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced frequently.

Another drawback of proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause-and-effect loop we're familiar with when using physical keys. If you use a conventional key and the lock opens, you know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance of the car to activate it.

Despite their downsides proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to lock themselves out of their vehicle. If you own a proximity key, make sure you always keep a backup on hand in case of emergency. Contact your local Pop-A Lock for a quote on services and costs.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are long gone and landlords can give tenants more security by installing the keyless entry system. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows landlords to monitor the entry and exit of tenants. Additionally, these systems make it easier for tenants to access the property in the event an emergency.

Keyless entry systems transmit encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver then interprets the signal and opens or starts the engine. It can also recognize a driver's presence and adjust the vehicle settings in accordance with their preferences. It will shut the door, for instance the driver has an item in his hand.

While most keyless entry systems are secure, some are vulnerable to attacks. For instance a replay attack occurs when the remote control signal is recorded and transmitted to the device at a later date. However, this could be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system a method that guarantees that each transmission is distinct from all previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it does not require you to replace locks every time a tenant is moved out. This is an expensive part of the process for converting units and it is sensible for landlords to avoid this expense as much as possible.
