Lost Your Nissan Key? Replaced On-Site in Honolulu

Nissan keys on Oʻahu split into two worlds: the turn keys on Sentras, Versas and Frontiers that wear out and snap, and the Intelligent Key fobs on Altimas, Rogues and Pathfinders that get lost at the beach or stop responding after a battery change.

Double Quick Locksmith cuts the blade by VIN code and programs the new key to your Nissan’s immobilizer in the van — at your driveway, the beach lot or the office garage — in one visit. No tow to the dealership, no waiting for a key to be ordered. Part of our Nissan locksmith service; see also Nissan key programming if you still have a key that stopped working.

Nissan Key Types by Model Year

  • 2000–2012 Sentra, Altima, Maxima, Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder, Versa (turn key) — NATS transponder key, cut by code and programmed to the immobilizer.
  • Intelligent Key models (Altima 2007+, Maxima, Rogue, Murano, Pathfinder, Armada, Titan, Kicks, Sentra 2020+) — proximity fob with a hidden emergency blade; programmed on-site including all-keys-lost.
  • 2019+ models with the newer Intelligent Key — different chip and rolling code; we carry current programmers.
  • Nissan Leaf and Ariya — smart key programming for EVs handled the same way.

Not sure which you have? Text us a photo of the key or the year and model, and we tell you the exact price before we roll.

What to Have Ready for a Nissan Key Replacement

  • Proof of ownership — registration, title or insurance card showing the vehicle, plus a photo ID. NASTF rules require it for every key we make.
  • The VIN — on the dash plate or the registration; we cut the blade from it.
  • Any remaining key, even a broken or non-working one — it can turn an all-keys-lost job into a cheaper duplicate.
  • Where the car is — we work hotel garages, beach lots, Costco and Ala Moana parking structures; tell us the level and stall.

Nissan tip: the emergency blade inside an Intelligent Key opens the door but will not start the car — if the fob is lost, the whole fob must be programmed, not just a blade cut.
