In today’s post, we would like to address some frequently asked questions about key fob duplication to bring clarity to those considering the process. We aim to provide clear and concise answers to help you understand the benefits and steps involved in duplicating your key fob.
How long does it take to get my fob copied?
The average time to duplicate a key fob is two minutes for low-frequency fobs and eight minutes for high-frequency fobs.
Will the fob copy work like the original?
Yes, the copy will work just like the original and will open the same doors as the original fob. Our duplication process ensures that the copied fob functions exactly like the original.
Can I use my own blank fob?
You definitely can, but not all blank fobs are compatible. Different fobs operate on different frequencies, so we need to double-check in-store if the frequencies match in order to proceed with the copy. If they do match, the copy will be optimal. If they don’t, we can use our fob.
If I lose my fob, can my condo make me an extra one for free?
Typically, if you lose your fob, your condo management will deactivate the lost fob and issue you a new one. However, this often requires a deposit of upwards of $400 as collateral, and the process can take weeks, involving multiple forms and approvals.
What types of fobs can be copied?
Most types of fobs can be copied with our software. We service condo and apartment fob keys that access main entrances, elevators, and garage doors. To have a better idea of what fobs we copy, please check our Fob Checker page on our website.
How do you ensure it works?
We have a thorough quality check process to ensure that every copied fob works perfectly before handing it over to you.
Is it legal?
There is no law against key fob copying. However, we recommend checking your lease agreement because if it specifies that you cannot copy your fob, you would be breaking your lease terms. If it’s not mentioned in your lease, you are free to copy your fob without any worry. For more information about the legality of copying a key fob, check out this article.
Can you activate a deactivated fob?
No, we cannot activate a deactivated fob. You will need to ask your building or condo management to reactivate it for you.
Do you store my personal information anywhere?
Absolutely not. For the safety and security of all customers, we do not ask for or keep any personal information.
Can I duplicate a fob from a photo?
No, we need the physical fob to make an accurate copy. A photo does not provide the necessary details to duplicate a fob accurately.
