Ace Hardware specializes in producing a wide range of duplicate keys to meet your needs. They can program and make transponder keys, traditional keys, and laser-cut keys. They can also program automotive key fobs for a variety of vehicle models.
Many fobs can be programed via “cheat code” turn the key 3-6 times yada yada. Here is a good free place to get instructions on programing most any fob that can be manually programed. The site will also tell you if self programming is not available for that make/year/model. Keylessentry is also a reputable source to buy fobs/keys.

What is a car key fob?
On many modern cars, car key fobs are integral parts of a key set. These car keys are equipped with an internal transmitter or remote and serve as the main devices used in keyless entry systems. Basic car keys are usually found on older models and don’t require specialized encoding.
Also, how much does it cost to copy a car key fob?
Ace Hardware and the dealerships are the only places in my area that will copy car keys and fobs. Ace will copy and program the key and the fob for $100, and they won’t let you supply your own blank key and unprogrammed fob. I called the Chevy dealer and they said that for the fob and programming, it’s $60.
