| Our
Certified Forensic Locksmith (CFL), International
Association of Investigative Locksmiths, analyzes a
vehicle's ignition system (and anti-theft system if
equipped) and determines if and how
those systems were defeated. This includes, for example,
a detailed forensic examination of the ignition lock
assembly, including disassembly of the lock cylinder and
microscopic examination of key components. Thorough
examination of the vehicle's transponder unit is also
performed. |
