OEM Key Grades Explained


We know it's important to have different options for your customers and we want to make sure you can present them with the best options possible. Everyone has different needs and that's why we're offering different options for originally manufactured keys.

In addition to brand new OEM keys, we offer pristine-level Grade A Refurbished keys that are skillfully unlocked by our in-house locksmiths. 
 
Our Grade B Refurbished keys are also unlocked and still top-notch keys and similar to what you'd find with the competition, but with some slight blemishes and imperfections.
 
And we also have a growing selection of Recased keys that have all the internal workings of an OEM key, but with a new Aftermarket shell.

Our Locked OEM keys cannot be unlocked but can be used with the TLK1 programmer/encoder device to be reprogrammed.

The Breakdown:
 OEM  -  OEM keys, branded and new condition
 Refurbished Grade A  - Pristine-level OEM keys, unlocked, branded, and like new condition
 Refurbished Grade B  - Good-quality OEM keys, unlocked, branded, and used condition
 Recase  - OEM parts inside keys, unbranded aftermarket case
 Locked  - OEM keys that cannot be unlocked and require a device to reprogram
