Electronic Gate Key

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to make a copy of an electronic gate key (infra red kind).

    We only got one with our apartment and is most awkward because there are two of us living here.

    I'm hoping there is a way to copy the signal to another keyring to use?
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Cheers

    if it is in fact an infrared remote... you could easily get an ipaq or other such pda which all have IR learning software... put it in learning mode... point your remote at it and press the button... it now knows how to open your gate.

    I have electronic gates on my house but they are radio controlled and I could do with another couple of remotes as we have broken a good few of them.

    You can even get watches that will open it if it's infa red.

    Check if it's infrared by blocking the signal by putting your hand infront of it and trying to open the gate. If the gate still opens its probably a radio key which are much harder to get duplicates for. You can get them on teh web though, like here:

    one of these should do the trick!
