It used to be that losing your car keys meant towing your car to the dealership and waiting days for a replacement. We have changed that. As your local Steelton, PA automotive security specialists, we bring the key-making lab to you. Whether you drive a domestic truck or a foreign luxury sedan, our mobile units are equipped to cut and program new keys on the spot.
Car keys are no longer just metal; they are sophisticated electronic devices. Inside the plastic head of your key is a transponder chip. This chip communicates with your car's immobilizer system. If the chip isn't programmed correctly, the fuel pump won't turn on. Our technicians are expert chip key makers. We plug directly into your car's OBD-II port to sync the new key with your vehicle's computer, ensuring a perfect start every time.

After initial habitation by Susquehannock Indians and subsequent nearby Harrisburg establishment, the area was owned by the Kelker family of Harrisburg by the 1800s. The 100-acre area was chosen in 1866 by Samuel Morse Felton Sr., president of the Pennsylvania Steel Company, to begin construction of a steel mill. This particular site was favored because of the location's proximity to the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Pennsylvania Canal, and the nearby iron mine in Cornwall, Lebanon County. The land was purchased from owners Henry A. and Rudolph F. Kelker; then, steel pioneer Alexander Lyman Holley was chosen to build the mill along the Susquehanna River, which was completed by 1867 (along with a mansion for Felton), and began operation on May 15, 1868. Originally named "Baldwin" after Matthias W. Baldwin, founder of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, by 1871 it had changed to "Steel Works" after the existence of another Baldwin, Pennsylvania Post Office, and finally "Steelton" in 1879 after confusion of the Post Office with the steel mill itself. It was incorporated as a borough on January 19, 1880. The extensive steel works of the Pennsylvania Steel Company later became operated by Bethlehem Steel, ArcelorMittal, and currently Cleveland-Cliffs. Also present at one time were brickyards, a flouring mill, and machine shops.
