If you lose or damage your Subaru key the dealership from which you purchased it is the best place to go for the replacement. If your car has an ignition key or remote that has a chip and needs to be coded by a locksmith, you should contact an locksmith for automobiles.

This is because the dealer has only a limited number of codes and may have to alter the ignition.

Ignition switch/lock cylinder replacement

If your Subaru key fob doesn't function, or if you have trouble switching the ignition and you are not sure if it's the right time to get an upgrade to the ignition cylinder. It can be expensive and will require a trip to a dealer or locksmith.

Most modern Subaru keys have an immobilizer that prevents your car from starting with a stolen key or using a key that's not programmed to the vehicle. The immobilizer, which is a microchip on the key, transmits a signal that the key is valid to the vehicle. This helps prevent theft and other issues. If you need a replacement Subaru key with an immobilizer, our #StockerSubaru dealer suggests obtaining a standard key that doesn't have a transmitter.

Key duplication

The goal of key duplication is to make an exact copy of a specific key. You can duplicate a standard metal key by bringing it to a local hardware store or locksmith with the equipment for it. You can also do it yourself by using a Dremel or the file. You'll need a key that matches the thickness of the key you originally used (or larger) and a key blank that matches the design you want. The key is placed on the other side of the duplicator and lined up with a specialized blade, which cuts into the blank key to create a duplicate. The key is then sanded to give an even finish.

The use of a file is the more traditional method, however it's not as efficient and could take patience to obtain an accurate copy. If you are using a file, you must be sure that the teeth are not sharp. This will protect the lock cylinder from becoming damaged. You could also use a drill in the event that you don't have a key cutter, however it's more challenging and time-consuming than simply using a file.

A lot of modern vehicles come with additional security features that make it difficult to make duplicates. Some of them are equipped with chipped keys that transmit signals to the car whenever the correct key is close to. If your vehicle requires chipped keys, go to a locksmith instead of trying to duplicate it at home.
