Your car key fob stops working, and suddenly your day grinds to a halt. You’re looking at dealership quotes that make your wallet hurt and wait times that stretch for days.
Here’s what actually happens when you call us instead. We show up with the right equipment, program your key fob in 30-60 minutes, and you drive away spending 50-70% less than what the dealer wanted to charge you.
No scheduling headaches. No towing your car anywhere. No wondering if it’ll work properly when we’re done – because we’ve been doing this since before your great-grandfather owned a car.
The McCausland family has been solving lock and key problems in Delaware County since the 1800s. Today, Tom McCausland and his daughter Chrissy run the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley from our Prospect Park storefront.
We’ve programmed thousands of key fobs for Folsom residents who got tired of dealership runaround. When your neighbor recommends us, they’re recommending 140+ years of expertise that shows up when you need it most.
You’re not just getting a locksmith – you’re getting the peace of mind that comes from working with people who’ve been trusted by Delaware County families for over a century.
First, we verify your vehicle ownership and assess what type of key fob replacement you need. Different cars require different approaches – from basic programming to complex transponder synchronization.
Next, we either cut and program a new key fob on-site or, if you already have a replacement fob, we handle the programming using manufacturer-approved equipment. This isn’t guesswork – we use the same diagnostic tools and software that dealerships use, just without their overhead and delays.
Finally, we test everything to make sure your new key fob works perfectly with your car’s security system. You get a warranty on our programming work, so if anything goes wrong, we make it right at no additional cost.
Most jobs are completed while you wait, usually within 30-60 minutes from start to finish.

Every car key fob replacement includes programming that syncs perfectly with your vehicle’s computer system. We work on virtually all makes and models – Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, BMW, Mercedes, and dozens of others.
Folsom residents appreciate that we stock OEM parts and use manufacturer-approved programming methods. This means your replacement key fob functions exactly like the original, with all the same features working properly.
We also handle key fob battery replacement, which often solves problems that seem like they need full replacement. Many Folsom drivers are surprised to learn their “broken” key fob just needed a $10 battery change instead of a $300 replacement.
Whether you need emergency service because you’re locked out, or you’re planning ahead with a spare key fob, we provide the same thorough, professional service that’s kept Delaware County families coming back for generations.
Car key fob replacement typically costs between $100-$300 through us, compared to $250-$500+ at most dealerships. The exact price depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and the type of key fob system it uses.
Basic key fobs for older vehicles are on the lower end, while smart keys with push-button start features cost more due to their complexity. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
Many Folsom residents save 50-70% compared to dealership quotes, and we often complete the job the same day you call.
We program key fobs for virtually all vehicle makes and models, including Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, and many others. Our equipment works with both older basic key fobs and newer smart key systems.
The few exceptions are typically very new luxury models that require brand-specific software only available at dealerships, but these represent less than 5% of the vehicles we encounter. If we can’t handle your specific vehicle, we’ll tell you upfront before you waste any time.
Our mobile service means we bring all the necessary programming equipment directly to your location in Folsom, whether that’s your home, office, or wherever your car is parked.
Most key fob programming jobs are completed in 30-60 minutes while you wait. Simple key fob battery replacements take just a few minutes, while full replacement and programming of smart keys might take up to an hour.
The timing depends on your vehicle’s security system complexity and whether we’re programming a replacement fob or cutting and programming a completely new one. We work efficiently because we understand you have places to be.
Unlike dealerships that might keep your car for hours or even days, we handle everything on-site so you can get back to your day quickly.
Yes, we provide mobile key fob replacement throughout Folsom and surrounding Delaware County areas. Our fully equipped mobile units carry all the programming equipment, diagnostic tools, and blank key fobs needed to handle most jobs on-site.
This eliminates the need to tow your vehicle anywhere or work around dealership scheduling. We come to your location – whether that’s your home, workplace, or even if you’re stranded somewhere in Folsom.
Mobile service is particularly valuable for emergency situations where you’re locked out or your key fob has completely failed. We typically respond within 20-30 minutes for emergency calls in the Folsom area.
Key fob battery replacement is often all you need when your fob stops working reliably. If your key fob works intermittently, has weak range, or requires multiple button presses, it’s usually just a dying battery that costs around $10 to replace.
Full key fob replacement is necessary when the fob is physically damaged, lost, or when the internal electronics have failed. This involves programming a completely new fob to work with your car’s security system and costs significantly more.
We always check the battery first because many Folsom customers think they need full replacement when a simple battery change solves the problem. This can save you hundreds of dollars compared to unnecessary replacement.
Yes, we warranty all our key fob programming and cutting work. If your newly programmed key fob stops working due to our programming, we’ll fix it at no additional charge.
Our warranty covers the technical work we perform – programming, cutting, and synchronization with your vehicle’s computer system. It doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or physical damage that happens after we complete the job.
We stand behind our work because we’ve been serving Delaware County families for over 140 years. When you choose us, you’re getting the confidence that comes with four generations of locksmithing expertise.
