Steve’s Lock Out has just recently aquired some new key generating equipment. What does this mean? It means that we can now make keys for some of the cars that have issues that make extra keys previously impossible.
Here are 2 major examples that urged the purchase of this equipment.
Many Lexus and Toyotas previous to 2003 require a “Master” key to open the programming mode to add extra keys. This key isn’t anything special except for the fact it was programmed as a master. The only way to previously make copies of these keys with out a master key to open the programming cycle was to actually remove a control module and “reflash” it. This is a process that can cost major $$$. Now with our new key cloner we can simply “clone” and cut the key and send you on your way. No need for a master key to open the programming cycle.
Another is the 2000 Nissan Altima. We previously would not make keys for these cars. It turns out that there is a wiring fault in many of these that when plugged into by a scan tool could completely ruin the programmer and turn the car into a paper weight until the cars computer is replaced. Now we can simply clone a key for this car.
A note about “cloned” keys: The auto that these are used on recognize the original key and the cloned key as if they are the same key.
Stay tuned. More updates are on the way.
Continuous hinges are a better solution for more reasons than just the life span. Many times on older doors they offer the solution to special hinges or door pivots that are no longer made. And even ones that replacement of the pivots is not practical. Pivots that are embedded in concrete for instance. Let me clear up what a pivot is to those who don’t know. It’s just that. Something for the door to pivot on. Many aluminum framed glass storefront doors use these in place of standard hinges.
