Warranty problems are few and far between. I support everything I sell and that's
why I have to be choosy. Going out to fix a lock (for free) because it was poorly
made is really upsetting! There's a one-year warranty on work (usually re-keying)
if the hardware is of a good make and is being used properly. There is NO
WARRANTY on worn-out hardware, abused hardware or hardware not suited for
the application. There is NO WARRANTY on products such as Schlage with the
collapsible cylinder and also several brands of decorative hardware including
Ashley-Norton and Pella Doors.

VEHICLES WITH TRANSPONDERS:
This is a very basic list of models with transponders in the keys. The year listed is the first year the
model came equipped with transponders or resistors in the keys. Subsequent models are most likely
equipped with the same or more advanced electronics in the key.
DOMESTIC DESIGNS:
CHRYSLER: '99 Cirrus, '98 Concorde, '03 Crossfire, '01 PT Cruiser, '98 LHS, '04 Pacifica, '01 Sebring,

JEEP: '98 Cherokee, '05 Commander, '07 Compass, '02 Liberty, '07 Patriot, '01 Wrangler,
PLYMOUTH: Whatever Plymouth was making after 2000.
*Chrysler notes:
1. If the bow (head) of the key is grey-colored, it's a transponder key and possibly a valet key.
2. Chrysler Sentry system or (SKIM) Sentry Key Immobilizer or Smart Key Immobilizer systems are
designed to be serviced at the dealer only. A PIN number or password from Chrysler is needed to
service these systems with special equipment.
3. Additional keys can sometimes be programmed into the system if you have two working
transponder (not grey) keys. Refer to the owners manual
4 Some Chrysler models are made by Mitsubishi. .
5. Sprinter van is actually a Mercedes-Benz and uses a transponder key, a shop with a cloning tool
can make a duplicate, otherwise, it's likely a dealer item.
6. Chrysler Crossfire keys are also Mercedes-Benz designs.

who specializes in automotive may be able to help.

WHO MADE WHO ? DOMESTIC VS. FOREIGN;
The line between "domestic" and "foreign" isn't very clear anymore. For the purposes of making keys,
there are mostly American, Euro and Oriental designs. When the new Chevy Canyon and GMC
Colorado models came out, I saw that they had Japanese locks and keys. Later on I found out that
they are in fact, made by Isuzu. The same is true for the Hummer H3. These trucks are also sold
model known as the "Hombre" was sold by Isuzu. Before that, the Chevy LUV was made by Isuzu.
That's just one example, it's very helpful when getting parts, service, and keys.

decorative hardware on the market is overpriced junk. We don't sell decorative hardware unless it's
