Car Key Experts who come to you anywhere on Oʻahu, 24 hours a day.
A push-to-start car depends on its smart key. If the key is lost, or the car won’t recognize it, pressing the start button does nothing. Double Quick Locksmith is a family-owned mobile locksmith serving Honolulu, and car keys are our specialty. We have trucks around the island, so a technician can drive to your car and replace and program a new smart key right there, day or night.
📞 Lost your smart key, or car won’t push-start? Call (808) 758-4599. We’re open 24/7 and serve all of Oʻahu.
A smart key, also called a proximity key or intelligent key, lets you unlock the doors and start the engine with a button while the key stays in your pocket or bag. The car looks for the key’s signal before it will start. That’s why a smart key has to be programmed to your specific vehicle, and why losing the last one can leave the car stuck where it is.
Lost every smart key? We can make a new key for any make and model on the market, even with no existing key. We come to wherever the car is parked and program a new smart key to it, so you don’t need a tow to the dealership. If a lost key might have been stolen, we can also erase it from the car’s memory. That way it can no longer unlock or start your vehicle.
If the dash says the key isn’t detected, or the engine won’t start when you press the button, try a fresh battery in the smart key first. Many push-to-start cars also have a backup way to start with a weak key battery, and your owner’s manual explains it. If the car still won’t start, call us. We’ll diagnose whether the problem is in the smart key or in the vehicle, then fix the right thing by reprogramming or replacing the key. For more simple checks, see key fob not working? What to do before calling a locksmith.
The easiest time to add a smart key is while you still have one that works. We program spare smart keys on-site, so one lost key doesn’t turn into an all-keys-lost call.
Dropped it in the ocean, ran it through the wash, or cracked the case? If the electronics are fine, our key fob replacement page covers re-shelling and batteries. If the key can’t be saved, we replace and program a new smart key.
A smart key has to be paired with your car’s computer before the car will accept it. We supply the key, cut the emergency blade if it has one, and program it on-site, then test the doors and push-button start with you. For the technical side, see our car key programming service and Car Key Programming Explained.

Is a smart key the same as a key fob?
A smart key is one type of key fob. A regular remote fob only locks and unlocks, while a smart key also lets a push-to-start car start without inserting a key. For remotes, fob shells and batteries, see key fob replacement.
Can you replace a smart key if I’ve lost all of them?
Yes. We can make a key for any make and model on the market, even with no existing key. We program it at your car and can erase the lost key from the car’s memory.
My car says “key not detected.” Do I need a new smart key?
Not always. Try a new battery in the key first, and check your owner’s manual for the backup start method. If the car still won’t start, we’ll diagnose whether the fault is in the key or the car.
Do I have to tow my car to the dealer?
No. We’re a mobile locksmith with trucks around Oʻahu, so we come to wherever your car is parked.
