Automotive Transponder Key Sales, Installations, and Repairs – Terry’s Locksmiths Gold Coast

Terry’s Locksmiths offers expert sales, installations, and repairs of automotive transponder keys across the Gold Coast. Whether you need a new key or a spare, call us at (07) 5601 1820 or visit our showrooms in Burleigh Heads or Southport.

What is a Transponder Key?

Many customers wonder, “What exactly is a transponder?” Since 1993 in Holden Commodores and 1996 in Toyota Camrys, transponder chips—small computer chips (10mm x 5mm) embedded in the head of the key—have become standard in most vehicles. In some newer models, this chip is located within the remote key but operates independently of the remote functions.

At Terry’s Locksmiths, we provide cost-effective transponder key solutions starting from around $88. If you need a remote key, we can supply those as well, though they tend to be more expensive.

Do You Really Need a Remote Key?

In most cases, you don’t need the remote key to start your car—you just need the transponder key. This small chip ensures that no one can start your vehicle without it. If you only have one key, don’t wait! Losing all your keys, especially for later model cars, could cost you thousands. Save money by getting a spare transponder key for around $110 to $165, depending on the make and model.

We Cut and Code Transponder Keys for Any Vehicle

Whether it’s a car, motorbike, bus, or truck, we can cut and code transponder keys for any vehicle. Not sure if your key has a transponder chip? Bring it to us, or give us a call, and we’ll help you figure it out.

Beach Key Option

For those who spend time at the beach or pool, we offer a cheaper alternative: a beach key. This is a copy of your transponder key that only opens the doors but doesn’t start the ignition. It’s perfect for safely taking into the water while your transponder key stays secure inside your vehicle.

For all your transponder key needs across the Gold Coast, contact Terry’s Locksmiths at (07) 5601 1820 today!
