Apartment key fobs are convenient and small, fitting well on a key ring. Each key fob has a built-in identification code that’s unique to each renter. Only authorized persons (tenants in this case) will have entry once the key fob has been successfully read by the key reader.
Fob copy is similar to key cutting. However, replacing a lost fob can cost up to $300 in condo management fees and depending on the type of fob. By copying your fob in advance with us, you get a free backup copy in case you lose your fob copy. Your spare copy can be used for emergencies. Spare copies are needed to give to family, friends and visitors or guests.
The main reasons for extra spare fobs are for Real Estate agents, landlords, Airbnb, property owners / managers, room mates.
The whole process only takes a few minutes to copy a fob.
A key fob contains a short-range radio transmitter/radio frequency identification (RFID) chip and antenna. It uses radio frequencies to send a distinct coded signal to a receiver unit in the device. This receiver also contains an RFID tag, which is some form of stored information.
Inside the fob there is a RFID chip that is programmed with a unique number that is authorized only by the management of the facilities and is attached to the owner of the condo unit. RFID fobs do not need a battery, they draw power when scanned by the RFID readers. RFID key fobs come in many shapes, sizes and colors.
Despite their high-tech nature, there’s no way to track your key fobs out-of-the-box… yet. Luckily for you, there are plenty of third-party options you can use to keep tabs on your key fobs until then! Key finders in particular are a great option.
Copying fobs isn’t illegal, but what you do with the fob like giving it to someone that does not live in the condo or building and that person commits a crime is illegal.
5 minutes or up to 15 minutes if your fob is a more encrypted one.
Yes, 100% money back warranty within one year.

99% accuracy with the exception of some fobs that had manufacturer quality issues but that is extremely rare. We double check it before handing them off to you.

We use hardware and software that we have built to copy many types of fobs and we would read the fob and then
Write them onto the fob. We would double check the reading on our tablet before handing them off to the customer.
We would only copy the code that’s encrypted into your fob and then put that code onto another fob we supply, which means no personal information is obtained. As well, this code cannot be used to find any personal information (or it is extremely difficult to) because there are simply too many condos and different formats in Toronto to try and find the information of any one individual. Plus the security at the condo or apartment management has strong measures against any hackers trying to access the system. You should be fine from any information theft or any of your information being in the wrong hands. How Fobs Work explains more on our website!
It’s always a good idea to have extra key fobs for your apartment or condo.
If you are renting or the owner it makes sense to store the original key fob in a safe place. If the original is lost it can cost you anywhere from $50 to $350 to get it replaced. This is why everyone should have a few spares. You can give one to a family member, one to the cleaner or even one for the dog walker.
Always think of your safety when giving out a key to your place. Please remember the person you give an extra fob or key to will also be able to duplicate it without your knowledge. Keeping all this in mind, choose who will have a key or fob wisely.
Real Estate agents can also save their clients money, by directing them to copy their own fob and keys. They can even give them away as a token of their appreciation. A small price to pay to keep your customer happy.
