Keys

Keys that have been supplied by A & T Autolocks carry a limited warranty. Should the key including the transponder show signs of abuse or unreasonable stress upon inspection then no claim will be considered. 

We occasionally supply and program aftermarket keys/remotes, not only for lower cost option to the customer but for time factors involved. These may be programmed into the vehicle in a slightly different way; therefore in some instances it may not be possible for dealer diagnostic machines to re-program this type of key.

Remotes/ keys supplied that have been listed as Aftermarket on invoice carry a 6 month warranty only

Due to common parts used by manufactures on occasions OEM keys may have a different manufacturer badge. These are only used on rare occasions if the correctly badged keys are not in stock or available in the short time requested by the customer. All keys/ remotes supplied are suitable for the vehicle, will function correctly and be demonstrated at time of supply. Payment of invoice will be deemed as customer satisfaction.

Diagnostic Key Programming

If stated on the invoice that all keys have been cleared from the system then this can only be considered accurate if all keys and Transponder chips are new at the time of programming, if an existing key or Transponder chip is reprogrammed then A & T Autolocks cannot be responsible for cloned keys that have been copied from original keys.

Aftermarket keys supplied may have transponder that operates the vehicle at time of supply, however due to the way the manufactures Diagnostic machines operate it may not be recognised by OEM systems during their diagnostic/ programming procedures. As has demonstrated by its programming via aftermarket software they can be reprogrammed by our equipment. Unless upgraded software from the manufacturer has been downloaded into the vehicle preventing this. A & T Autolocks cannot be responsible in these cases as the key worked at time of supply.

Some Manufactures systems require all keys to be present at time of programming A & T Autolocks cannot be responsible for keys not available no longer working or have been permanently deleted.
