All keys should be kept safe at all times and no one may possess more than one key at one time (with the exception of keys that are broken in locks). Key reports for lost or stolen keys must be filed with University Safety. A police report is required if the theft was believed to be the result of criminal activities.

Broken Keys
After several years of usage it's not unusual for keys to break. If your keys break in the lock, you'll need to purchase a new one. If the rest of the key is in good condition you might be able to repair it.
A paperclip can be used to grab the broken piece on both sides, and then push it out. If it's not stuck within the lock, you could also try using a pair of pliers. If it's broken very close to the lock, you might require a tool known as a "key extractor" that has bars with an elongated barb that is like screws. The bar is inserted into the locking mechanism and then twisted to push the barb into it. This will allow you to remove the key.

The key cap has little plastic or metal posts on its underside which fit into small slots on the switch. To replace a cap be sure to remove all the internal components and mark their places to allow them to be returned later. You may need to clean the keyboard first with ruby alcohol.
Fobs not working
It might seem absurd to imagine that your key fob may require regular maintenance, but it isn't unusual to see them stop functioning at some moment. In some cases, the problem is an easy one, such as dead batteries. If you've changed your batteries, but your fob still not functioning, it's time to look for a different solution.
The buttons may also wear out, which is a common reason why a fob stops functioning. When you press the button on your fob the contacts inside send signals to the receiver inside your vehicle to indicate what actions you would like the key to do. If the contacts on the fob's key are damaged they may not be able to press the button, or it could transmit a different message than what you expected.
This issue can be fixed quickly by using a physical car key to unlock your doors or start your engine. You can also reset the fob using the procedure in your vehicle's owner's manual (check online for instructions for your particular model).
If changing the batteries and reprogramming the key fob don't help it is possible to have it replaced or repaired. Modern keys need to be programmed to be compatible with your vehicle's specific VIN, and certain errors or wear and tear can cause the programming to become corrupted.
Transponder Chips
The transponder chip on your car keys is an vital component of the key. The transponder chips inside your car key are a very essential component of the car key. They transmit an electronic signal with distinct frequency, when the key is put in the ignition. The device inside the vehicle then detects the code and can tell it's you. The engine won't begin to run when the device inside the car does not recognize the signal. This is a security measure designed to prevent thieves from hot wiring their cars and driving them away.
The chip doesn't contain batteries, so it doesn't need to be charged or replaced. It does however need to be programmed into the car by someone who has access to your car's ECU This is the reason why you should bring your keys to locksmith.
There are many kinds of transponder chips that are available on the market, the most well-known being Rolling Code and Crypto. Key blanks feature the head of a plastic with an opening that can accommodate the glass ampoule/transponder. It is then inserted into a carrier (or sleeve) on the back of the key bow (plastic head). The photo below is of one of these carriers from the back of a Ford key here. With seat key fob , or a different method, you can remove the sleeve of a damaged Ford key.
