Who comes out when you call from Lithonia

4Keys Locksmith is a 24/7 mobile locksmith for Lithonia, GA. It stands on the Georgia Secretary of State's register as 4Keys Locksmith LLC, is insured by The Hartford and ALOA-trained, and is NASTF VSP authorized, the registration that opens manufacturer key data to its technicians. There is no storefront to drive to, which is how a locksmith that comes to you works: the van holds the cutting machine, the programming tools and the lock hardware, and it drives from Brookhaven to your Lithonia address. You hear the price on the phone before the van leaves, with the after-hours surcharge that applies between 9 PM and 7 AM local time, and on Sundays and federal holidays already named in it; the published rates are on the pricing page, and calls are answered in English and in Spanish.

Auto Locksmith

Car keys and car locks in Lithonia, explained job by job

Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge and Jeep come first. European and luxury makes are handled too: 4Keys works on cars of six origins, American, German, Japanese, Korean, British and Italian.

Keys locked in the car

Getting in is non-destructive entry: no window is broken and no lock is forced, and the van carries an air wedge, a long reach tool and Lishi picks for it. Tell the dispatcher whether the key is in the cabin or the trunk, and whether the engine is running. A child or a pet inside means 911 first. The service is car lockout service.

Every key is gone

The cuts for a new blade come from the key code on record for the VIN, a new chip is programmed to the immobilizer, and lost keys are erased where the system allows. Your year and model decide the route, and the sedan section below shows how much it varies; the dispatcher confirms yours when you call. See when every key is lost.

A spare from a working key

The key you have is the starting point: the blade is cut to match and the chip is copied or registered, depending on its family, which the Stone Mountain page sets out. Bring every key that still starts the car. Service: car key duplication.

Smart keys and fobs bought online

A proximity key, a flip key or a plain remote is set up beside the car, and a fob you ordered yourself goes through the same work when its FCC ID and part number are right for the car (fobs bought online). On a Nissan, read the part number first. Service: smart key fob programming.

Fob that stopped working

After a battery change, begin with a key fob that is not working. A healthy fob that only dropped its pairing is registered again. A fob with a record of failing, or one that took in water, is retired, and a new fob with a warranty takes its place; telling the two apart has its own guide.

Ignition problems

A key that turns with no effect points past the cylinder to the parts behind it, while a key that binds points to worn wafers or a worn key. Each is a different repair, checked before the quote, so say whether the key turns freely, binds, or will not go in. The guide to read first is a key that spins without catching; the work itself is ignition repair.

A blade snapped in the lock

The piece stuck in the keyway comes out first, then a new key is cut by reading the two halves. Keep the head and whatever broke off: the chip sits in the head, and on a Toyota or Honda key the stamp beside it still names the chip family. See broken key extraction.

A module was replaced

After a shop fits a different BCM, PCM or immobilizer module, the car and its keys may have to be matched to that part before the engine starts. The matching happens at the vehicle, where 4Keys runs dealer-level software as a NASTF VSP authorized locksmith. Say which module it was and whether the part is new or used. See ECU and module programming.

Work fleets

Company vans and pickups are keyed one after another at the yard, with no trips to a dealer. Have the VIN list ready; the required documents are requested according to the case. See fleet van key programming.

Accord, Camry, Altima and Kin

Honda, Toyota and Nissan sedan keys: the letter on the blade and the route it points to

Accords, Civics, Camrys, Corollas, Altimas and Sentras all start with a transponder key, but the three makers took different paths, and the quickest way to tell which path a car is on is to look at the key. Toyota and Honda stamp a letter into the metal blade that names the chip in the head. Key vendors advise identifying the key by that stamp rather than by model year alone, because the chip changed partway through several model years.

On a Toyota blade, a "G" marks the Texas 80-bit chip that vendors list for the 2010 to 2014 Camry and Corolla, and an "H" marks the 128-bit AES chip listed for the 2014 to 2017 Camry and the 2014 to 2019 Corolla; some 2014 cars carry a G key instead. Older keys, on the 2004 to 2010 Camry and the 2005 to 2010 Corolla, belong to the "dot" generation, a 40-bit Texas Crypto chip, and a 2004 to 2006 Camry can have either a dot key or the earlier 4C chip. An H remote-head key is sold for those Camry and Corolla years with a warning that it will not work on a car with push-button start, which uses a smart key. When every master key is lost, Toyota's own path is a reset procedure (T-SB-0057-18) that erases all registered keys and runs on the dealer's Techstream with an approved passcode; the dispatcher tells you on the call how your year is handled.

Honda stamps a "V" on keys with the Philips ID46 chip, which STRATTEC lists for the 2003 to 2008 Accord and the 2006 to 2008 Civic, and a "G" on keys with the ID47 chip, listed for the 2013 to 2017 Accord LX and Sport and the 2014 to 2019 Civic (the LX from 2016). Honda gives owners no on-board routine for the immobilizer, so even a spare made while a working key exists is registered with a programmer plugged into the car. The remote is a separate step: some years let the owner program it, and one version of that routine calls for an original key with an "L" on the blade. The V and G keys named here are HON66-family blades, an internal-track high-security cut made from the key code.

Nissan stamps no letter. Its keyed sedans, the Sentra and the Versa from 2007 to 2014, use the NI04T blank with an ID46 chip, which the blank vendor lists with no on-board programming. Nissan's system also registers every key in one session: any key that should keep working has to be at the car, because a key left out is deleted. Later cars add steps. The 2013 Altima's push-button key needs a rolling 20-digit code that Nissan releases to its dealers or through NASTF, and on the Sentra from 2020 a security gateway requires a 28-character PIN and clears the existing keys before that code is obtained. Owners can program Nissan remotes on their own, but not the immobilizer.

More by make lives on the Honda, Toyota and Nissan locksmith pages, and the way those three programming paths compare across makes is on the Marietta page.

Sedan Keys by Band

What to look for on the key, and the route that follows

Years exactly as STRATTEC, the Nissan tool manuals, the Locksmith Ledger and the key vendors list them. Bands overlap inside some years, so the key or the VIN decides yours on the call.

Sedan	Years listed	What to look for	Programming route
Toyota Camry, Corolla	Camry 2004-2010, Corolla 2005-2010	A dot on the blade: Texas Crypto 40-bit (a 2004-2006 Camry key may be 4C)	New key programmed at the car; with every master key lost, Toyota reset rules apply and the dispatcher confirms the route.
Toyota Camry, Corolla	2010-2014	"G" stamped on the blade (80-bit)	Programmed at the car. Some 2010-2011 and 2014 cars carry a dot or H key instead, so the stamp decides.
Toyota Camry, Corolla	Camry 2014-2017, Corolla 2014-2019	"H" stamped on the blade (128-bit AES)	H blade or H remote-head key for keyed ignitions; push-button cars take a smart key.
Honda Civic	2006-2008	"V" stamped on the blade (Philips ID46), HON66 cut	No on-board immobilizer routine, so a programmer is used even when a working key exists.
Honda Accord, Civic	Accord 2013-2017 (LX, Sport); Civic 2014-2015 and 2016-2019 LX	"G" stamped on the blade (Philips ID47)	Tool programming; the remote-head version for Accord 2013-2015 and Civic 2014-2015 is FCC ID MLBHLIK6-1T, 315 MHz.
Nissan Sentra, Versa	2007-2014	No letter: NI04T blade, ID46 chip	No on-board programming; every key is registered again in the same session.
Nissan Altima	2007-2012	Push-button Intelligent Key KR55WK48903, ID46, 315 MHz	Registration erases the memory of every Intelligent Key, so all of them come to the car.
Nissan Altima	2013	Push-button key, rolling 20-digit code	The In-Code is released to Nissan dealers or through NASTF.
Nissan Sentra	2020 and later	Smart key behind a security gateway	A 28-character PIN is converted, and the existing keys are deleted before it is obtained.

Before You Call

Four things to read off your key before you pick up the phone

None of this is required, but each answer shortens the call and lets the dispatcher load the right blank and fob.

1
Look at the metal blade next to the head
A "G", "H", "V" or a dot names the chip family on Toyota and Honda keys; an "L" matters for some Honda remotes. No mark at all is normal on a Nissan.
2
Turn a smart key or remote over
Read the FCC ID and the part number printed on the case. On Nissan push-button keys the part number counts more than the FCC ID, since one FCC ID has shipped with two chip generations.
3
Count the keys that still start the car
One, two or none. On a Nissan every working key comes to the car for the visit; with none, the job is handled as all keys lost.
4
Find the title or registration
It has to be in the same name as a photo ID, and the technician checks both before any key is programmed.

Lithonia House Doors

Home locks in Lithonia, from a lockout to a new deadbolt

When you are shut out of the house, the technician works on the lock that is on the door, whether a knob, a lever or a deadbolt, by non-destructive entry. If the key was lost and not simply left inside, a rekey on the same visit changes the pins in the cylinder so the missing key no longer fits, while the lock stays on the door; several doors can be set to one key at the same time, so count them before you call. Details at residential locksmith service, and night calls at 24/7 emergency locksmith.

When a lock is worn, bent or loose, it is replaced; when a door has only a knob, a deadbolt is added, which means boring the door and fitting a strike plate if no hole exists yet. Keypad and app-controlled smart locks are installed and their codes set, in the existing bore where the model allows, and high-security cylinders with restricted keys go on the doors that need them. Text the dispatcher a picture of the lock and of the door edge ahead of time, and the van is loaded with hardware that fits those holes.

Lithonia's housing takes in older houses and apartment buildings, and the two call for different things. On an older door with its original lock, a sound cylinder is rekeyed, and a tired one gives way to new hardware that fits the holes already cut. In an apartment building, give the building and unit number, and the gate or entry code if there is one.

Lithonia Shops and Warehouses

Shops, offices and warehouses: keys, exits and access

Business lock work in Lithonia, with what each job depends on and what the dispatcher needs to hear.

Staff changes

When a key walks out with a former employee, the locks it opened are rekeyed and the rest stay as they are: new pins in the same cylinders, new keys cut at the building. Start with the list of doors that key opened and the number of people who need the new one. See commercial locksmith service.

Master keying

Layers of keys on one chart, from the owner's key down to single-room keys, on a restricted keyway so copies go through you. The job is sized by the number of doors and of levels, so sketch which person needs which door before the visit. How to plan one: the master key guide.

Card, fob and keypad entry

Readers and keypads on employee doors let a credential be cancelled when it goes missing, with no cylinder to change. A stand-alone keypad lock on one door is a smaller job than readers on several, so say how many doors, how many people, and what hardware is on those doors now.

Push bars and emergency exits

Exit devices that bind, fail to latch or were damaged are repaired or replaced, and an outside cylinder is added where the door also serves as an entrance. Mention the door material and width, and whether the bar is on a single door or a pair, which changes the device.

Aluminum and glass shop doors

Narrow aluminum doors take narrow-stile deadlocks and mortise cylinders sized to the frame; a worn cylinder is swapped and the rest of the door is left as it is. Say whether the key still turns, whether the bolt throws all the way, and whether the door is on Main Street or in a strip center, so the technician knows where to park.

Shut out after hours

The owner or a manager is let back in at any hour. If the key is lost and not just at home, a rekey follows during the same stop, and the dispatcher tells you on the call what the technician asks for before opening a business door.

30058 · 30038 · I-20

Lithonia addresses, and how to lead the technician to the car

4Keys Locksmith covers both ZIP codes that have Lithonia as their postal city, 30058 and 30038. The City of Lithonia itself is small and sits in 30058; most of the wider Lithonia mailing area now lies inside the City of Stonecrest, which is why the Postal Service also accepts "Stonecrest" on those addresses, and parts of Redan along Covington Highway and a strip of south Gwinnett near the county line use a Lithonia address too. The van goes by street address. Stonecrest and Stone Mountain are served by the same dispatch.

Interstate 20 runs just south of the city. Exit 74, Evans Mill Road and Lithonia Industrial Boulevard, is signed Lithonia, and exit 75 is Turner Hill Road (US-278 and SR-124); both interchanges sit inside Stonecrest. SR-124 starts at I-20 and heads north into Gwinnett over the Yellow River. Near one of these exits, give the exit number, the road you turned onto and the nearest business or lot.

For a storefront on Main Street, name the business and say whether the work is on the front door or the rear one. At a gated apartment building, have the entry code ready. At a yard or warehouse off Evans Mill Road or Lithonia Industrial Boulevard, give the gate and the dock or bay where the vehicle or the door is.

FAQ - Sedan Keys First, Then Finding You in Lithonia

The letter on Toyota and Honda keys, why Nissan wants every key, Honda spares, H keys and push-button starts, a Nissan key with no letter, the 2013 Altima code, then 30038 versus 30058 and the I-20 exits.

It is stamped into the metal blade, close to the plastic head: a G or an H on Toyota keys, a V or a G on Honda keys, and a small dot on Toyota keys from the 2004 to 2010 generation. Wear can make it faint, so tilt the key under a light. If there is still nothing, read the year, model and VIN to the dispatcher, who works out the chip from those; the technician confirms it at the car before cutting.

Because Nissan’s system registers all the keys in one session. The process erases the key memory and then writes back each key that is present, so any key left at home stops starting the car afterwards. Bring every working key, including the one kept in a drawer, and the spare is added alongside them.

Not the part that starts the engine. Honda provides no on-board routine for the immobilizer, so a new transponder key needs a programmer connected at the car, working key or not. Some years do let the owner program the remote buttons, and one version of that routine needs an original key with an L stamped on the blade. The locksmith handles the chip; the remote can be done in the same visit.

No. H keys, including the H remote-head key sold for the 2014 to 2017 Camry and 2014 to 2019 Corolla, are for cars with a keyed ignition. A Toyota with a start button uses a smart key, a proximity fob with an emergency blade inside, which is a different part programmed a different way. Tell the dispatcher whether your car has a key slot or a start button.

No. Both 30058 and 30038 have Lithonia as their postal city, and much of that area lies inside the City of Stonecrest, so either name can appear on the same street. Give the dispatcher the street address as it appears on your mail, and the van is routed to it.

The exit number (74 for Evans Mill Road, 75 for Turner Hill Road), the road you turned onto, and the name of the station or business, plus where the car sits in the lot. If you can reach a lot, wait there rather than on the interstate shoulder.

Nissan stamps no letter, so the car and the part number tell the story. A keyed Sentra or Versa from 2007 to 2014 takes the NI04T blade with an ID46 chip. A push-button Intelligent Key is identified by the part number on its case, which counts for more than the FCC ID because one FCC ID has shipped with two chip generations. Read the dispatcher the year, the model, whether the car has a key slot or a start button, and any number printed on the fob.

The push-button key on the 2013 Altima is set up with a rolling 20-digit code, and Nissan releases the matching In-Code to its dealers or through NASTF. 4Keys Locksmith is NASTF VSP authorized, which is the registry that access runs through, so give the dispatcher the year and the VIN and the route is confirmed on the call. Bring every Intelligent Key you still have, because registration clears the key memory and writes back the keys that are present.
