    •    DUPLICATION & ORIGINATION
    Duplicate keys may be programmed to 1996 and '97 Fords using a simple on-board procedure, as long as you have one existing programmed key. Beginning in 1998 (with a few exceptions), you must have two existing keys to program an additional key. If you only have one key or no keys, the keys must be programmed using our diagnostic equipment.

    Also, some of the models listed above use Passive Entry, Passive Start (proximity) fobs instead of bladed keys with transponder chips. Prox fobs are either optional or standard equipment, depending on model and year.

    Additionally, the mechanical key style used on many Ford models is changing to specially cut keys, such as the sidewinder type, or Tibbe type (used on Transit). We have been cutting these "high security" format keys for 30 years.

    We are able to duplicate and originate virtually all Ford, Lincoln and Mercury chip keys.
