DiscoverKeys and remotes for cars and vehicles
Lost your key, need a spare or your remote no longer responds? We work on cars, motorbikes, scooters, trucks, vans, motorhomes, boats and work vehicles.
Keyok duplicates and makes keys for cars, motorbikes, trucks, motorhomes and boats: transponder, keyless and smart keys, immobiliser programming and remote repair. With make, model and year of the vehicle we tell you what can be done before we start. We work in five locations, since 2012.
What do we do for vehicle keys?
- Transponder car key duplication: we copy the mechanical cut and pair the chip with the vehicle.
- New coded keys, even when you have lost all of them, plus keyless and smart keys.
- Immobiliser and control-unit programming, diagnosis of keys the car does not recognise, transponder and chip replacement.
- Repair of remotes and radio controls (buttons, circuit, case, batteries).
- Keys for motorhomes, caravans, farm and construction machinery, boats and personal watercraft.
When should you come to Keyok for a car key?
- You have lost your key or need a spare.
- The remote does not respond or the key no longer starts the engine.
- The vehicle does not recognise the key after a replacement or repair.
How do we work, step by step?
- You give us make, model and year of the vehicle and the registration document.
- We assess the type of key and tell you whether the vehicle needs to come in.
- We make or repair the key and pair it with the vehicle.
- We test lock and ignition together with you before handing it over.
Where can you find it?
Available in Syracuse, Ragusa, Augusta, Padua and Sesto San Giovanni.
Quick questions
Can a transponder key be copied?
Often yes: we copy the mechanical cut and pair the chip. On some models the car must come in, and we tell you beforehand.
What is the difference between a keyless key and a traditional key?
A keyless key is recognised at a distance without being inserted; a traditional key is inserted and turned. The work involved differs, and we check it on your model.
Can I bring just the remote that does not work?
Yes, we check it. If the board works, a repair is enough; otherwise we explain the alternatives.
Next step: Call your nearest location with make, model and year of the vehicle: we will tell you straight away what is needed.
Cracked shell, worn buttons, a remote to repair or a door cylinder that won't turn? Before buying a new key, see how we repair them. Car keys: repair and replacement
