Key reports that are missing or stolen must be filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was deemed to be a result of criminal crime. The fee for replacement of a lost/stolen key is $30/key and must be paid by the responsible key holder.
Broken Keys
It's not uncommon for keys to break after a few years. If the key breaks inside the lock, you'll need to replace it. If the rest of the lock's key is in good condition it is possible to fix it.
A paperclip can be used to grasp the broken piece from both sides and pull it out. If the broken piece is not trapped too far in the lock, you could try using a pair pliers. If the key is damaged close to the lock, you might require an "key extraction" tool that has an iron bar that has an elongated barb that is similar to a screw. The bar is placed into the locking mechanism and then twisted to dig the barb into it. This will release the key.
It's easy to replace keys on keyboards if you have the right tools. You'll need the key cap (the part of the plastic that covers the switch), key pad and key retainer clip.

Fobs not working
It might seem absurd to think that your key device might require regular maintenance, but it isn't unusual to see them stop functioning at some time. Sometimes, the issue could be as simple as an inoperative battery. If you've changed the batteries but your fob doesn't work, it may be time to look at a different solution.
The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob ceases functioning. When you press a button on your fob, the contacts inside send signals to the receiver inside your vehicle to indicate what actions you would like the key to execute. If the contacts on your key fob are worn out and you are not in a position to press the button, or it may transmit a different message than what you expected.
A possible solution for this problem is to utilize a physical key to unlock your car doors or start the engine. You can reset the fob following the instructions in your car's owner's manual (check online for instructions for your particular model).
If replacing the batteries or reprogramming does not work, it could be necessary to replace or repair your key fob. Modern keys need to be programmed to match your vehicle's specific Vehicle Identification Number and certain mistakes or wear and tear may cause this programming to be corrupted.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chips inside your car key are an important part of the car key. They send out the signal using a unique frequency when the key is inserted into the ignition, the car's device recognizes the code and is aware that it's you. The engine will not start if the device in the car doesn't recognise the signal. This is intended as an attempt to prevent thieves from hot wiring cars and stealing them.
The chip does not contain any batteries and therefore does not need to be charged or replaced. It must however be programmed into the car by an individual who has access to the car's ECU This is the reason why you should take your key to a locksmith.
Transponder chips are available in various varieties, but the most common are Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks feature heads made of plastic that have a slot that accommodates the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then slid into the carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the key bow (plastic head). There is a picture of one of these sleeve holders from a Ford key here. With a PVC pipe cutter, or a different method, you can take the sleeve off of a damaged Ford key.
A regular transponder can be more expensive due to the chip than a metal or smart key, but is less expensive than a fob. The price of these keys will depend on the make and model of your vehicle.
