Fleet key service for Milwaukee companies
A company truck with one key stops working the day that key goes missing. Plumbers, electricians, delivery companies, landscapers, and property managers around Milwaukee run vans and pickups that often share one key between several drivers and shifts. Our fleet key service covers the keys for those vehicles: spares, new keys when one is lost, lockouts on a job site, and erasing keys that left with a driver. Each vehicle usually takes 15 to 60 minutes, and several vehicles in one yard go in one visit.
What fleets usually need
- A second key for every unit. One key per vehicle is the most common gap. A spare kept at the office keeps the truck on the road when the first one disappears.
- A key that went home with a driver. When someone leaves the company, the key keeps starting the vehicle until it is erased.
- A lost key on a job site. We come to the site, open the vehicle if needed, and make a key there.
- Units added to the fleet. Used vehicles often arrive with one key.
One list, one visit
Send us a list before the visit: the unit number, the year, make, and model, the VIN, and how many keys each one needs. We plan the visit around that list and work through the units one after another at your lot or yard. Every key is tested in its own vehicle before we move to the next unit, so nothing gets mixed up between trucks that look alike.
Vans and pickups in a fleet
Common fleet vehicles include Ford Transit and E-Series vans, Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, Ram ProMaster vans, and pickups such as the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado. Most use chip keys or remote head keys, and newer units use push-to-start smart keys. The key type sets the price, and we confirm it for each unit before we start.
Erasing keys when a driver leaves
A driver who leaves with a key is a security problem for the vehicle and everything in it. Erasing the vehicle's key list and programming back only the keys at the office takes that key out of the vehicle for good. The steps are the same as on our page about erasing old keys.
Who can order keys
A key starts a company vehicle, so we make keys only with the company's approval. Send a letter or an email from the company that names the person who will meet us, and have that person show a photo ID. The registration in the company's name confirms each vehicle. These papers protect the fleet from keys made for the wrong person.
