Metal car keys are pure metal not to be confused with a transponder key which has a plastic casing around the top. Some of the keys with the thick plastic casing on top are actually car transponder keys. This means they have a chip inside them that communicates with the car’s security system and a metal car key cut to your specific vehicle will unlock your cars however, they will not start the car without a transponder key chip programmed to your vehicle.
Real metal car keys are also used even on new vehicles that use a proximity key (remote style, push to start vehicles). The service key is typically located inside the remote fob.

Tips on buying metal car keys
The place to buy car keys online
The most important thing when it comes to buying metal car keys is to ensure it truly is a metal key and not a transponder or proximity key. Because you could end up ordering a service key when you really need a transponder key that needs to be programmed. So to avoid confusion you should give us a call if you don’t find your specific make/model/year under the key search so we can ensure you get the correct key.
Our second recommendation is if you have a rare key that nobody carries that you order more than just one. In the event, you find yourself in an emergency lockout or key issue situation that nobody carriers locally then you won’t have to wait for the key to arrive because you will have a copy.
- You will need proof of vehicle ownership if you use our cut by VIN key copy service this can be vehicle registration, insurance. You will also need to provide a copy of a valid drivers licensed or identification.
