Chamblee Auto Locksmith for Cargo Vans, Cars, Homes and Storefronts

A cargo van key works a harder shift than a car key: it is handed from driver to driver, hung on a board, and replaced when someone notices it is missing. Under the plastic it follows the maker's own key system, and the parts catalogs list the vans right beside the pickups and cars of the same brand. So the make and the model year decide the chip, the blade and the programming route before anyone looks at the van.

Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana keys changed three times. The earliest vans in the catalogs, the Express from 2002 to 2005 and the Savana from 2001 to 2004, run GM PASSLock, with a plain blade and the check made in the lock cylinder, which the Brookhaven page explains. From 2008 to 2014 both vans take the Circle Plus (PK3) transponder key, and STRATTEC prints an add-a-key routine that works from one original key. From 2015 the Lishi fitment lists both vans on the HU100 side-mill keyway, and for the 2015 and later Savana STRATTEC lists two keys, a coined non-transponder key and a molded-head Circle Plus side-mill key, so which one a van needs is read from its VIN before a blank is cut.

The full-size Ford Transit, listed from 2015, uses a side-mill key on the HU101 keyway, and the STRATTEC catalog adds a second side-mill key for the Transit, named a cargo key. A Transit key is cut to code and programmed with a tool on the diagnostic port, beside the van. The smaller Transit Connect differs again: on vans with Intelligent Access, STRATTEC's text says the keys can only be programmed with a scan tool. The Nissan NV200 of 2013 to 2019 takes the NI04T blade with a Philips ID46 chip and has no on-board routine, so programming equipment does the registering.

The Sprinter came to North America in its second generation (NCV3, W906) for the 2007 model year, sold under the Dodge name from 2007 to 2009 and under the Freightliner name from 2007 to 2018, and listed by key vendors as the Mercedes and Dodge Sprinter. Its key is a flip key on the HU64 blade, the same keyway family as older Mercedes cars, with a 315 MHz remote. The third generation (VS30) went into North American production in September 2018. For Mercedes vehicles whose keys come pre-programmed by VIN, NASTF lets VSP registrants order them through a Mercedes-Benz dealer, and the dispatcher tells you from the VIN which route your Sprinter takes.

4Keys Locksmith cuts and programs cargo van keys at the van in Chamblee, one vehicle or a row of them, with dealer-level software under NASTF VSP when the manufacturer's data is needed. For vans with no working key left, the all-keys-lost guide lays out that route; for keeping track of who holds which van key across a fleet, see the Lithia Springs page and fleet and van key programming.

Chamblee street addresses use ZIP 30341, which the Postal Service lists under the city name Chamblee as well as Atlanta. The second Chamblee ZIP, 30366, only serves PO boxes, so use the physical street address of the car or building.

From I-85, exit 94 at Chamblee-Tucker Road is the Chamblee exit. Inside the city, Peachtree Boulevard (the former Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, SR 141) and Buford Highway (US 23) are the long through roads, with New Peachtree Road, Chamblee-Dunwoody Road and Clairmont Road crossing between them. On any of them, a cross street, a sign you can read or a suite number finishes the directions.

If the vans are parked at the business, name the lot and say whether it is fenced or gated and who holds the gate key. DeKalb-Peachtree Airport takes up a large part of the city; for a vehicle at a business on the airport side, give the building name and the entrance. A car near the downtown Chamblee MARTA station is serviced in place. The same dispatch reaches Doraville and Brookhaven next door.
