Programming a replacement key fob
Many cars built in the last two decades use a transponder chip or proximity fob that must be paired with the vehicle before the engine will start. A mobile automotive locksmith can often cut the blade and program the chip where the car is parked, which can save a tow. Have the year, make, model and VIN ready when you call so the right blank and programming method can be checked first.
Mailbox locks
Lost the small key for a mailbox, or moved into a home where the last resident kept a copy? Mailbox locks can usually be replaced or rekeyed on a short visit. For cluster boxes at apartment complexes and HOAs, the unit may be managed by the property or the postal service, so check who looks after it before booking. Bring any paperwork that shows the box is assigned to you.
Ignition switch and cylinder trouble
A key that will not turn, turns only with jiggling, or comes out while the engine is running points to wear in the ignition cylinder or in the key itself. Sometimes a worn key is the whole problem, and a fresh copy cut from code solves it. Otherwise the cylinder may need repair or replacement. Avoid forcing the key, because a snapped key makes the job bigger.

Can you change locks after a tenant leaves?
Yes. Landlords often rekey or replace locks between tenancies. Check the Arizona landlord and tenant rules that apply to your property before booking.
