Key types

Jeep Keys & How We Program Them

Jeep uses Chrysler security. Older Jeeps and the JK Wrangler use a transponder key, often with the remote built into the head. The Grand Cherokee and others moved to FOBIK plug-in fobs and proximity keys, and the JL Wrangler and Gladiator use proximity keys with push-button start on many trims.

Most Jeep programming needs the security PIN, which we read on site.

  • Transponder keys (Wrangler TJ/JK, Liberty, older Grand Cherokee)
  • Remote-head keys
  • FOBIK and proximity keys (Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, Compass, Renegade)
  • Push-button start keys (Wrangler JL, Gladiator)

Serving Tampa Bay

Jeep Locksmith Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco

Jeeps and Florida go together, and so do lost Jeep keys: dropped in the sand, the Gulf or off a kayak. Being mobile matters here, because we can make the key wherever the Jeep is parked. Spare keys for a second driver are the other big one.

Unlock Jeep Cars

A Jeep lockout is one of the quickest jobs we do. We use proper entry tools, not a slim jim, so there's no damage to the door, weatherstripping or wiring. If a child or pet is inside, tell us and you go to the front of the line. More on our car lockout service.

Jeep Keys Made On Site

No need to tow your Jeep to the dealership. With your VIN and proof of ownership we cut a new key and program it to the car at your location, often within an hour of arriving. That works even when every key is lost. Read about car key replacement.

Jeep Key Duplication

Don't wait until the last key is gone. A spare Jeep 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 Jeep Keys

Most Jeep 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.

Jeep Remotes & Key Fobs

Remote stopped working or bought one online? We stock remotes for common Jeep 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.

Jeep 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.

Jeep 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 Jeep Keys? Rekey the Car

If your keys were stolen, we can delete the missing keys from your Jeep'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

Jeep Key FAQ

I lost my Jeep key at the beach. Can you make one there?

Yes. We come to where the Jeep is parked and cut and program a new key on the spot, with your ID and proof of ownership.

How much does a Jeep 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 Jeep key if I lost all my keys?

Yes, for most Jeep 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 Jeep to the dealer?

No. Our vans carry the key machines and programmers, so we make and program Jeep 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.

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

ShayTampa · Google review

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.
