Types of Car Keys We Replace in Houston
Traditional Cut Keys
Traditional automobile keys are the simplest type of automotive key and are often seen in older vehicles. If you have lost or damaged your car key, it is not necessary to go through elaborate programming to get a replacement key. EZ Lock & Key Assist can quickly cut traditional keys for many old automobiles on the site of a car owner. This means that replacing a key is thus a simple and inexpensive process.
Transponder Keys
Transponder keys are widely used in vehicles since the mid-1990s and have incorporated an electronic security feature in comparison to the traditional automotive keys. Even if the new key turns the ignition, the automobile will not start unless the correct chip codes are programmed into the car. The EZ lock and Key Assist has special machines, which allows them to cut the transponder keys efficiently for the majority of vehicles.
Laser-Cut or High-Security Keys
Laser-cut or high-security keys are intricate in their design as compared to regular keys. Due to their complex designs, the traditional hardware stores cannot recreate the keys. EZ Lock &Key Assist contains the necessary equipment for cutting many types of high-security keys for vehicles. Regardless of whether you have lost your original keys or you need a spare, our specialists are able to determine the best solutions to the key cutting problems.
Smart Keys and Proximity Keys
Smart and proximity keys are devices used in the new cars allowing the users to get into the automobile without using a standard key. Although the requirements of producing the keys are much higher than before, for EZ Lock & Key Assist it shouldn’t be a problem to help you with the new smart or proximity key devices. Explore our Key Fob Programming Houston service for more information.
Switchblade Keys
A switchblade key is the typical mechanical key blade with the protection of electronic housing or remote. Changing a switchblade key involves cutting the blade as well as calibrating its electronic parts to allow it to work with the vehicle. EZ Lock & Key Assist can take care of both processes for multiple types of vehicles and help you replace your lost or broken switchblade key without visiting a dealership

Lost Car Key Replacement: What to Expect
If you've lost your only car key, here's how we handle it:
When you call, we ask for your vehicle's make, model, year, and VIN (which is on your registration or visible through the windshield on the driver's side dash). We use this information to confirm we can make your key and to prepare the right blank.
Our technician arrives at your location with the appropriate key blank and programming equipment. We verify your ownership, typically your vehicle registration, title, or a photo ID matching the registered owner, before we proceed.
We cut the key and program any electronic components so the car recognizes it. For most vehicles, this takes between 30 minutes and an hour on-site.
We test the key before we leave to make sure it starts the car and operates all the locks correctly.
If this situation started with a lockout, keys locked inside, not lost, you can visit our
Car Lockout Houston Service for how that process works.
Car Key Duplication in Houston
If you still have a working key but want a spare, we can duplicate it on-site. Having a spare car key is one of those things that seems unnecessary until the day it very much isn't. Getting a duplicate made while you have access to the original is significantly cheaper and faster than a full replacement from scratch later.
We duplicate standard cut keys, transponder keys, and most types of fob-integrated keys. Some high-security or dealer-restricted key systems require specific authorization procedures, and we'll tell you upfront if that's the case with your vehicle.
Why EZ Lock & Key Assist Instead of the Dealership?
The dealership is the obvious fallback when a car key is lost, but it comes with real drawbacks. You typically need an appointment. If your car isn't drivable, you need a tow. The parts and labor markup at dealerships tends to be significantly higher. And you're often waiting days, not hours.
EZ Lock & Key Assist comes to your location, usually within 30 minutes. We carry the equipment to handle most key replacement and programming jobs on-site. Our pricing is transparent and typically well below dealer rates. EZ Lock & Key Assist is available 24/7 for car key replacement across Houston and surrounding areas. Call us to get a quote and dispatch a technician to your location.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key using your VIN and proof of ownership. We do not need the original key as a reference. This is one of the main reasons people call us instead of going to a hardware store.
How much does car key replacement cost in Houston?
Cost varies depending on the vehicle make, model, and key type. Basic cut keys are the least expensive. Transponder keys and smart keys cost more due to the programming involved. We provide a clear quote before any work starts so you know exactly what to expect.
Do you offer car key replacement for luxury vehicles?
Yes. We work on most luxury brands including BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Lexus, Acura, and others. Some luxury vehicles have proprietary key systems with additional steps, and we'll let you know if that applies to your car.
What if my car uses a push-to-start system? Can you still make a replacement key?
Absolutely. Push-to-start vehicles use a proximity key or smart key fob that needs to be programmed to your car. We handle this on-site for most makes and models. Visit our Key Fob Programming Houston page for more detail on that process.
Can I get a spare key made at the same time as the replacement?
Yes, and we'd recommend it. Getting a second key made while we're already on-site is the most cost-effective time to do it. It adds a small amount to the total but gives you a backup that could save significant expense later.
