High-security Car Keys: A Web Update

In today's high-tech world, you'd expect professional locksmiths to know their way around the web, but if they think they have to go online to handle key concerns with a new car or truck, you might think about finding a new security pro. That's because many of the latest vehicles feature what are called "side-milled" keys, in which the business end has been ground down along its wider sides, not its narrow edge, to create a high-security solution to vehicle access. The remaining metal is called the "web" of the key, and getting this right is just as important as grinding the security grooves themselves. In fact, specialized tools are required, and a few thousandths of an inch can make the difference between a key that smoothly and quickly engages every time to one that binds and sticks—and requires yet another call to a locksmith. Of course, you could just call Bill’s Mobile Lock first. We’re available for emergencies 24/7 at 734-421-1230, with more information at our own website: www.billsmobilelock.net
