Transponder Keys

Transponder keys (a portmanteau that translates to responder and transmitter) have an electronic chip within their heads. When inserted into a car which uses transponder technology the chip transmits low-level signals to a receiver that is located near the ignition switch. If the chip is programmed to do so, it will cause the engine to start. Transponder chips are designed to prevent car theft This is the reason that most modern vehicles have them.

Transponder technology first came into use in World War II, when codes were transmitted over radio frequencies to determine if the aircraft that was incoming was friendly or hostile. General Motors created the first transponder key in 1985, for its Corvette. Since then, all new cars are equipped with keys that have transponder chips, and they are also popular for older models that can be retrofitted to include the transponder chip.

If you own a car with this type of security system, it is recommended to always have an extra transponder key on hand, since it will only work only if the chip has been scanned correctly. This isn't 100% secure. Some people have found ways to fool this system. They come with kits and tutorials on how to bypass the transponder using electrical relays and wires.

Proximity Keys

Proximity keys are one of the most recent keyless entry innovations, which are becoming popular on a variety of vehicles. The key fob can be carried in a pocket or bag and used to unlock the car. The key fob connects to the vehicle, disengaging immobilisers and allowing it to start.

There are some disadvantages with proximity key systems though. If the key fob is damaged or lost it isn't able to start the vehicle. It could be expensive to find a locksmith or a dealership to replace it. The fobs are also powered by batteries, which means they will need to be replaced every now and then.

Another drawback to proximity key technology is that it disrupts the cause/effect cycle we're all familiar with when using physical keys. In the case of a traditional lock, if you touch the lock and it opens, you'll know that you have the key. With proximity-sensing keys, you'll need to be within a certain distance from the car to activate it.

Despite their limitations however, proximity keys are a great invention for drivers who don't want to lock themselves out of their car. In the event of an emergency, always have an emergency key with you if you have a proximity-key. If you need a new key, contact your local Pop-A-Lock store to inquire about the cost of replacements and to request a quote for services.

Keyless Entry Systems

The days of storing keys outside of the home are over and landlords can provide tenants with greater security by installing keys-free entry systems. These systems sync with back-end programs, allowing landlords to keep track of the entry and exit of tenants. Furthermore these systems make it easier for tenants to gain access to the property in the event in the event of a crisis.

Keyless entry systems work by transmitting encrypted signals the car's receiver. The receiver receives the signal and unlocks or begins your car. It also can detect the presence of an individual driver and adjust the vehicle settings to meet their needs. For instance, if the driver is carrying bags in their hands, it will recognize this and shut the doors.

While most keyless entry systems are incredibly safe, some are vulnerable to attack. For instance replay attacks occur when the original remote control signal is recorded, and then repeated to the device at a later time. However, this can be prevented by including in the keyless entry system a method that ensures each transmission differs from all previous ones.

Keyless entry also offers the benefit that it does not require you to change the locks each when a tenant moves out. This is a cost-effective part of the process of transferring units, and it makes sense for landlords to avoid this expense as much as feasible. With a keyless system all you have to do is reset the code. This is much quicker and easier than replacing the lock.
