Key Cutting
When you lose your keys, it could be a major hassle. Luckily, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services that can assist you in getting back on the right track.
We provide regular and high-security key duplication. We employ a key-cutting machine to duplicate regular keys. This machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as keys made of cylinders. The key is held in a vise, and then cut using a blade. The new key is then deburred. It is rubbed down with wirebrushes built into the machine, or manually on a bench grinder - to remove burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
When you're dealing with high-security keys you require a specific machine that is specifically designed to cut these types of keys. The machine is more expensive, but also very accurate. Bring the original key when you get these keys cut. The shape of the key could cause the key to be useless.
Framon 2 manual machine is known as being the most stable and accurate in the business. Many have shared stories of them falling off their work bench and still being fine. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.
Transponder Programming
If your Citroen is fitted with a transponder system it will require the use of a key that has been programmed to it. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car, and in the event that a different key is employed, the onboard computer will not recognize the serial number and therefore will not allow the engine to start.
Normaly, when a lost car key is lost, the owner will visit their local dealer to get an alternate key and get it programmed into the vehicle. It can take between two to five days. they will need to have the original key with them.
