Old car keys look bulky and take up space in your pocket. A flip key folds away and looks modern. The good news is that most cars support a flip key conversion without a costly dealer trip. We transfer your existing chip into a new folding shell. Your car still recognises it, and you get a sleek key. Our mobile locksmith does the whole job at your location in Dubai.
A flip key hides the blade inside the fob when folded. You press a button and the blade springs out. Aside from the folding design, it works like any other car key. It carries the same transponder chip your car already trusts, so no fresh car key programming is needed. So you keep your car security and gain a cleaner, compact key.
The job is quick and done on-site.
We assemble and test the flip action, then hand it to you working.
We open your current key and remove the remote transmitter.
We take out the transponder chip that starts your car.
