Key types
Mercedes-Benz Keys & How We Program Them
Mercedes uses an infrared "chrome" smart key system known as FBS. Older generations (FBS3), used on many models up to the mid-2010s, can often be handled by specialist equipment. The newer FBS4 system, on many recent models, is very secure and usually means a dealer key.
Sprinter vans, common in Tampa Bay trade and delivery fleets, use their own remote keys, which we cut and program.
- Chrome / infrared smart keys (FBS3 generation)
- Sprinter van remote keys
- Emergency blades
- Key shell and battery service
Many newer Mercedes-Benz models (FBS4) can only get new keys from the dealer. We check your VIN first.
Serving Tampa Bay
Mercedes-Benz Locksmith Serving Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco
Our most common Mercedes jobs are Sprinter fleet keys, broken key shells and dead fobs that just need a battery or repair. For newer cars we start with a VIN check so you know whether we or the dealer are the right call.
Unlock Mercedes-Benz Cars
Locked out of your Mercedes-Benz? Don't break a window and don't wait hours for a tow. We open Mercedes-Benz cars, trucks and SUVs with professional tools that leave no marks, including trunks and keys locked in a running car. See car lockout service.
Mercedes-Benz Keys Made On Site
Lost every Mercedes-Benz 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.
Mercedes-Benz Key Duplication
Don't wait until the last key is gone. A spare Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz Keys
Most Mercedes-Benz 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.
Mercedes-Benz Remotes & Key Fobs
Remote stopped working or bought one online? We stock remotes for common Mercedes-Benz 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.
Mercedes-Benz 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.
Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz Keys? Rekey the Car
If your keys were stolen, we can delete the missing keys from your Mercedes-Benz'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
Mercedes-Benz Key FAQ
Can you make a new Mercedes key?
For many older models and Sprinter vans, yes. Many newer Mercedes-Benz models use a system that only the dealer can program; we tell you which applies before we quote.
How much does a Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz key if I lost all my keys?
Yes, for most Mercedes-Benz 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 Mercedes-Benz to the dealer?
No. Our vans carry the key machines and programmers, so we make and program Mercedes-Benz 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.
