Key types
Hyundai Keys & How We Program Them
Many Hyundai models sold in the US between roughly 2011 and 2021 with a turn-key ignition were built without an engine immobilizer, which is why thieves target them. Trims with push-button start do use an immobilizer and smart key. Hyundai's other keys range from basic transponder keys to flip keys with remotes.
- Standard and transponder keys
- Flip keys with remote (Elantra, Sonata, Tucson, Santa Fe)
- Proximity smart keys
- Replacement ignition cylinders keyed to match
Serving Tampa Bay
Hyundai Locksmith Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco
Since the thefts started, our biggest Hyundai job has been repairing punched ignitions and broken steering columns. We replace the cylinder, cut keys to match and point you to the free manufacturer software update if your car qualifies. Lost keys and spare keys round out the list.
Unlock Hyundai Cars
Locked out of your Hyundai? Don't break a window and don't wait hours for a tow. We open Hyundai cars, trucks and SUVs with professional tools that leave no marks, including trunks and keys locked in a running car. See car lockout service.
Hyundai Keys Made On Site
Lost every Hyundai key? We look up the key code, cut the blade on our van-mounted machine and program the chip or remote to your car on the spot. Customers often tell us it took less time than the dealer wanted to book an appointment. See car key replacement.
Hyundai Key Duplication
Don't wait until the last key is gone. A spare Hyundai key made from a working one costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost job and takes minutes. Most families with one key for a shared car end up calling us eventually, so a spare is cheap insurance.
Transponder, Laser-Cut & Smart Hyundai Keys
Most Hyundai vehicles built in the last 25 years need a chipped key before the engine will run. We cut and program transponder keys, high-security laser-cut blades and push-to-start proximity keys with the same class of equipment the dealer uses.
Hyundai Remotes & Key Fobs
Remote stopped working or bought one online? We stock remotes for common Hyundai models and program key fobs on site. If a fob just needs a new battery, we'll tell you rather than sell you a new one.
Hyundai Key Shell Replacement
A cracked case doesn't mean a dead key. If the electronics still work, we transfer them into a new shell and cut a fresh blade, which costs much less than a new programmed key.
Hyundai Ignition Repair & Door Locks
When a key won't turn, sticks in the ignition or the cylinder spins freely, we repair or replace the ignition at your car. We also fix damaged door and trunk locks and key them to match, much cheaper than dealer replacement.
Lost or Stolen Hyundai Keys? Rekey the Car
If your keys were stolen, we can delete the missing keys from your Hyundai's computer so they no longer start the car, and rekey the locks if needed. Your new keys work; the old ones don't.

Questions
Hyundai Key FAQ
Someone broke my Hyundai's ignition. Can you fix it?
Yes. We replace theft-damaged ignitions at your location and cut matching keys, often the same day.
How much does a Hyundai key replacement cost?
It depends on the year, model and key type. As a guide, standard keys start around $90 to $140, transponder keys usually run $120 to $220, and smart fobs and push-to-start keys range from $180 to $400 including programming. Call with your year and model and we'll give you the exact price before we come out.
Can you make a Hyundai key if I lost all my keys?
Yes, for most Hyundai models. With the VIN and proof of ownership we cut and program a new key at your car, even with no original to copy.
Do I need to tow my Hyundai to the dealer?
No. Our vans carry the key machines and programmers, so we make and program Hyundai keys wherever the car is: your driveway, a parking lot or the roadside.
What do I need to have ready?
Your ID and proof of ownership (registration or title), and the VIN if it is handy. It is on the driver-side dashboard and on your registration.
Customer reviews
What Tampa Bay Drivers Say
Real words from real customers. Most of our work comes from people who were sent to us by a friend.
I lost the only key to my car. After struggling with the car dealership, a tow company, and AAA, I found Smart Locks. Not only was the service quick (5 minutes to make two keys without an original) it was also professional and courteous. And the best part- around 1/2 the price the dealership was going to charge me for 1 key. I absolutely will call Smart Lock next time and will instantly recommend it to everyone else.
Outstanding customer service. Danny is reliable, quick and professional. He came out on a Sunday night to the airport and got us going again in a few short minutes. He was communicative, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I cannot say enough good things about his service, and highly recommend him for your commercial and residential needs.
I'm extremely satisfied with smart locks, I went on vacation in Tampa, lost my rental car keys in the middle of the night, I called two other companies that was closed but Danny from smart locks was able to arrive within half an hour and make me a key in no time! Extremely fast, friendly and professional service, thank you Danny
I locked myself out of the car and left the keys on the front seat. Along with the car keys was my house key. After calling a few different locksmiths, I got in touch with Danny. He was personable, professional, and quick to respond. The price he quoted me beat everybody else's and he was able to get the job done super fast. Through it all he was able to display the kind of demeanor that would keep a client relaxed during a stressful situation.
