Door Locks

A solenoid in the door lock converts the electronic command to an actual mechanical one after the signal has been spotted. This turns a rod to operate the door locks, the same way the physical key would.

A certified locksmith can reprogramme your key fob to make sure it is compatible with your vehicle.
Immobiliser
Peugeot was among the first companies to put an immobiliser on a key. The chip prevents the car from starting if it sees an error in the signal sent from the key to the car. This is a great feature when they're brand new however over time, the chips get worn out and cause issues. This typically starts with an error message that says 'anti-theft system active' on the dashboard, or a warning light is lit up stating "immobiliser fault".

This is something only a fully certified auto locksmith can do however it can help you avoid a lot of frustration and money in the long term.
