Frequently asked questions
Answers to what our customers ask most. Still unsure? Just call.
Is there a 24-hour locksmith near Fort Lauderdale that can replace Ford keys on the spot?+
Yes. Fort Lauderdale Locksmiths Pro operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. Our mobile technicians are based in Lauderhill and can reach most locations in the surrounding area quickly. We carry the cutting equipment and programming tools for Ford keys on our service vehicles, so we can cut and program most Ford keys at your location without any dealer visit or tow.
What factors affect the price of a Ford car key replacement?+
Several variables determine the final quote: the specific Ford model and year, the type of key required (standard transponder, proximity fob, Intelligent Access smart key, or basic cut key), whether you have an existing working key to reference during programming, the time of day the service is requested, travel distance from our Lauderhill base, and any additional parts such as a new fob shell or ignition component. We confirm the exact price with you before any work begins — there are no hidden charges added after the job is done.
Can you replace a Ford key if I have lost all copies and have no working key?+
Yes. A total key loss is more involved than a standard duplication, but our technicians carry the diagnostic and programming equipment to restore key access to most Ford models even when no working key is available. The process involves VIN-based key-code retrieval and a more in-depth programming sequence. Because of the additional labor and security steps involved, total-loss replacements take longer and the quote will reflect that — but we will explain everything and confirm the price upfront before we start.
What is the difference between a transponder key and a Ford smart key fob?+
A transponder key has a small chip embedded in the plastic head that communicates a unique code to the vehicle's immobilizer when you insert and turn the key. The car will not start if the chip signal is absent or incorrect, even if the cut key turns freely. A Ford smart key fob — used with Intelligent Access or push-button start systems — communicates wirelessly with the vehicle at close range without needing to be inserted into any slot. Both require electronic programming in addition to cutting, and both are services our team handles on-site.
Can you rekey a Ford door lock cylinder, and when would I need that service?+
Yes, we offer rekey Ford door lock cylinder service for situations where the physical key needs to change without replacing the entire lock hardware. This is common after purchasing a used Ford vehicle when the previous owner's key history is unknown, after a key is lost and you want to render it useless, or when a fleet manager wants to standardize which key opens which vehicles. Rekeying is often a practical alternative to full lock replacement, and our technicians can assess on-site whether rekeying or replacement is the better fit for your specific cylinder condition.
Do I need to tow my Ford to a dealer for key replacement?+
Not when you call Fort Lauderdale Locksmiths Pro. Our mobile service brings the equipment to your vehicle, whether you are in a Lauderhill neighborhood, a North Lauderdale parking lot, or on a commercial property in Lauderdale Lakes. Dealer key replacement typically requires an appointment, a tow if the vehicle is inoperable, and a longer turnaround time waiting for parts. We come to you, verify ownership, cut and program the key on-site, and confirm the price before we begin — making the process significantly more convenient for most Ford owners.
