Can Keys of the Same Model Lock Open Each Other?
1 Answers
It depends on the situation. For models that only use mechanical keys and do not have an electronic anti-theft system, as long as the lock models are the same, the keys can open each other. This is because ordinary car keys have a tumbler structure, where the key's teeth correspond to the size of the tumblers. If they match, the key can turn, unlock the door, and start the car. However, if it's a remote key, it cannot be opened. Below is a detailed introduction to car keys: Key Types: Common keys on the market today include mechanical keys, remote keys, touchscreen LCD keys, and smartwatch keys. Regardless of the type, their basic functions are to unlock the door and start the engine. Some remote and touchscreen LCD keys can also enable automatic parking and vehicle information display. Remote Keys: Remote keys allow you to unlock and lock the door from a distance without inserting the key into the lock. The biggest advantage is that, regardless of day or night, you don't need to locate the keyhole or go through the cumbersome process of inserting the key to open the door. You can conveniently unlock (open) and lock (lock) the door from a distance. Remote keys can also open the trunk and fuel filler cap from outside the car, as well as close the windows and retract the side mirrors when locking the car.
