* Standard key: This is the most basic type of key and is typically made of metal. It has a series of ridges on the blade that correspond to the pins in the lock cylinder.
* Laser-cut key: This type of key is more difficult to duplicate than a standard key because it has a unique pattern of cuts along the blade.
* Transponder key: This type of key contains a chip that transmits a code to the immobilizer in the car. The car will not start if the code from the key does not match the code programmed into the module.
