Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau of transmitter and responder) have an electronic chip inside their heads. When the key is inserted into an automobile that uses transponder technology it sends a low-level message to a receiver near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so it will trigger the engine to start. Transponder chips were designed to deter car thieves This is the reason they are found in the majority of modern automobiles.

In World War II, coded messages were sent over radio frequencies in order to determine if an aircraft was hostile or friendly. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, they've become commonplace on new vehicles and are also retrofitted to older models.

If you own a vehicle that has this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder card on hand, since it only works when the chip is read properly. However, this isn't foolproof, and some people have found ways to trick the transponder system. These include tutorials and kits that explain how to get around it using electrical relays and wiring.

Proximity keys

Proximity keys are the most recent technology for keyless entry that is becoming popular in a variety of automobiles. They let drivers unlock their cars by touching the door handle using the key fob they carry in their purse or pocket. The key fob then connects to the car, removing the immobiliser while allowing the engine to start.

There are a few drawbacks to proximity key systems, however. If the key fob is lost or damaged it isn't able to start the vehicle. A locksmith or a dealership will have to replace it, which can be expensive. Batteries also power the fobs, so they'll have to be replaced often.

The proximity key technology has the disadvantage of removing the cause-and-effect cycle that we are all used to when using physical keys. When you insert a traditional key and the lock opens, you are aware that you have the key. You'll need to be within a certain distance to activate proximity-sensing key.

Despite their limitations proximity keys are an excellent invention for drivers who do not want to be locked out of their car. In case of emergencies, always keep an additional key on hand if you have a proximity-key. If you require a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock to learn about the cost of replacements and to receive a price for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys in the home are over and landlords can now provide tenants with greater security by installing an entry system that is keyless. These systems are synced with back-end software, which allows the landlord to monitor access and exit. These systems also aid tenants in a emergency to gain access to the property.

A keyless entry system sends encrypted signals to an inside receiver. The receiver interprets the signal and unlocks your car or starts it. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. It will automatically shut the door if, for example, the driver has a bag in his hands.

Although most keyless entry systems are extremely secure, some are susceptible to attack. A replay attack, for example is when the remote control signal sent by the device is recorded and then sent again at a later point. However, this can be thwarted by including in the keyless entry system an algorithm which ensures that each transmission is different from the previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it doesn't require you to change locks each when a tenant moves out. This is a significant cost of the unit turnover process, and it makes sense for landlords to reduce this expense as often as possible. With a keyless lock, all you need to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and simpler than replacing the lock.
