Nissan Key and Fob Replacement
Altima, Sentra, Rogue, Maxima, Frontier, Versa. We replace keys and fobs for most Nissan models at your car. The locksmith brings the key, cuts it and programs it on the spot.
If you’ve lost your Nissan key, you don’t have to have the car towed. We come to it. The other makes we cover are on our car key replacement page.
Many Nissans start with a push button and a fob Nissan calls the Intelligent Key. Others use a chip key with a regular blade. The fob has a small metal key hidden inside for the door, and on newer cars that blade is laser cut. We handle the fob programming and the blade cutting in the same visit.
Lost or Stolen Nissan Keys
With all keys lost, we make a new one from the car. Most Nissans since the early 2000s have an immobilizer, so the key or fob has to be programmed before the engine will start. We do that through the car’s diagnostic port.
If a key or fob was stolen, we can remove it from the car’s memory while adding the new one. We can rekey the door lock as well.
Broken Nissan Keys
A broken blade can be copied from the pieces. With Intelligent Key fobs, the more common trouble is a weak battery, and the dash will usually show a key warning. If a fresh battery doesn’t fix it, our key fob replacement page explains the next steps.
Call (484) 891-1922 with your Nissan’s year and model. Pricing and availability differ between a chip key and an Intelligent Key, and we’ll tell you which applies and when we can arrive. We cut and program Nissan keys across the Lehigh Valley. Look up your town on the areas we service.

Nissan Key Questions
What if the new Nissan key stops working?
Parts are guaranteed against factory defects, and our work is guaranteed against faulty craftsmanship.
Could a worn key be why my Nissan won’t start?
It could. Keys wear down and so do ignition cylinders. We test the key first, then the cylinder, and fix whichever one is at fault. Our ignition repair page explains the rest.
Does a Nissan key cost more at night?
No. Our pricing structure is the same during all hours of operation, and there is no additional fee for emergencies.
Which key does my Nissan take?
Nissan put its push-button Intelligent Key on the Altima and Maxima early and brought the rest of the line over trim by trim. The pattern for the Nissans we see most:
- Altima: 2007 on, a push-button smart key on every trim. The fob changed shape in 2013 and again in 2019, so the year matters when we bring the part.
- Sentra: 2007 to 2012, a chip key with a separate remote. 2013 to 2019, S and SV use a chip key with a remote; SR and SL use a smart key. 2020 on, a smart key.
- Rogue: 2008 to 2013, a chip key with a remote (SL had a smart key). 2014 on, a smart key on every trim.
- Maxima: a smart key from 2009 on. Pathfinder: a smart key from 2013 on. Murano: a smart key from 2009 on.
- Frontier and Versa: a chip key with a separate remote through 2021 (Frontier) and 2019 (Versa).
Give us the year, model and trim, or the VIN, and we confirm which one you have on the phone.
See the Nissan rows on our key chart for key type, chip, FCC ID and part numbers by year, model and trim.
I lost every key to my Nissan. Can you still make one?
Yes. All-keys-lost on a Nissan is done at the car, including the Intelligent Key models. Car keys are weekday work; call with the year, model and trim for pricing and availability.
Do you program the Nissan Intelligent Key?
Yes. We carry the smart keys for the Altima, Sentra, Rogue, Maxima and Pathfinder and register them to the car where it sits. A spare takes a few minutes if you still have a working key.
Does a Nissan dealer have to make the key?
No. Nissan is one of the makes we handle completely on site, including the newest Intelligent Keys. We confirm lawful possession of the car as part of the job.
