How To Fix a Flip Car Key and Tension the Spring

Is your flip key not opening anymore? Here is a quick and easy guide on how to tension the spring inside your remote.
We used a Hyundai key to demonstrate but the process is the same for most flip keys.

[@AngieHernandez-oe6ki]

This is the exact video I was looking for, I thought i had broken the spring and was going to have to buy a whole new key. Thank you for the explanation.

[@Shamap37]

Great video! The first time I closed the key shell, I didn't realize that I needed to stretch the spring in order to let the flip work. That was really helpful!

[@tonyphillips5056]

I was waiting for when you said "and for those keys that don't have a screw....." 🤣

[@rydeordieforever5364]

The ones that dont have a Screw- theres a battery cover on the back of the key u just pull off and the Battery and screw is underneath

[@satchel5459]

Thank you so much for this helpful tutorial video! It works on my keys. I have searched this tutorial in my native tongue without results but finally i'm here. Great!

[@michaelgoff1799]

Omg, saved me. Opened it up, and the spring popped out. Didnt lose it. Thank you so much !

Great video My key now has tension however it doesn't stay shut. But at least it's still opens

I had this issue when I wound the tension with two rotations, so took it apart again and just did one rotation when setting the tension and it's perfect now.

Do you have i video on the key not staying closed?

[@kristianbubica1168]

I need that as well

[@BeatrizGN7]

Same

[@Jen.E]

I just bought a 2022 Toyota with that type of key. It doesn't have a screw. How do I open it? It won't spring out all the way. 💁🏼‍♀️

[@Tony-112]

Worked for me, had to spin it twice

[@jparker5025]

Where can I get extra tension springs if I lose one?

[@rickyfoster1530]

Where do I get a replacement spring?

[@OzzyJT]

It just won't click fully together any ideas?

[@edgarmullins9327]

I was able to get the part open where the battery is but I couldn't the other part open where the key and the spring is

[@user-ws7lu7rv4s]

I have problem my 2 keys is not good the cover is broken top cover

[@ALXMARTIN]

Mine didn’t explode when I opened it and I couldn’t get the button out of the key, now it’s worse.

[@crissokelly7927]

[@RemotePro1]

Here it is!

[@cincar2225]

Hello, i don't find the blade expand smoothly when i press the button, should i spray the blade with WD-40, what would you recommend me please?

[@RemotePro1]

Using WD-40 is not recommended in case this goes onto the circuit board of the key which can cause damage. If the key is not flipping is generally due to a bent spring which will need replacing.

[@steveedmond9362]

I don't put much tension on it. Just a half turn is all i need

[@vladyakovlev7079]

Thank you 🇺🇦😎

[@bruhmandude555]

Ive got one that dosent shut all the way

[@glennmason6982]

I have the opposite problem: key springs up but won’t stay down. Any ideas?

[@joemolina1354]

Same hwre

[@dparkertex]

did every thing in this vid and still wont flip up

[@RemotePro1]

Sorry to hear that, i recommend taking it to a locksmith

[@tracycooper2856]

I have the same. There's definitely tension in the spring now but pressing the button doesn't cause it to flip up. I have definitely tensioned the right way as the key flips up when I take the plastic pieces apart again.
