I've been a locksmith since 1998. I did automotive residential & commercial work from 1998 to 2008. From 2008 to 2018, I did some residential, but mostly commercial work. I have been project managing & estimating since 2018. I used to locksmith in the Chicago area, now the Austin area.
There’s no such thing as a universal car key that I’ve ever seen. What I assume you ordered was an uncut I programmed key. I don’t know what year your car is, but you probably still need to have a locksmith or Honda dealership cut and program the key for you.
Oh yes, that is what master key systems are all about. Most office buildings, industrial buildings, etc use those so the higher ups can carry 1 master key, while different depart heads can carry 1 sub-master that gets them in all the doors in their departments, and also have individual keys for offices, storage closets, electrical closets, etc. Its complicated, but that’s what locksmiths get paid to do.
Yes they can.
You could get z-wave deadbolts and a z-wave hub to control them. Set it up to where when 1 deadbolt unlocks, it automatically unlocks the other deadbolt.
Otherwise, Mul-T-Lock makes a deadbolt with a remote keypad. You could check to see if it can be set up to control multiple deadbolts.

Can just one loud concert do serious damage to your ears?I’ve never seen the Lockey Pro in person, but I have dealt with a lot of other Lockey products, and they’re low quality. If someone was bypassing it, you would probably know. There would be signs of physical abuse. It’s highly unlikely someone has cloned your fob, but it’s not impossible. I would trust a high quality deadbolt by Medeco or Mul-T-Lock way before I would ever trust a Lockey lock. They are some of the strongest locks on the market, and have pick-resistant pins. Keys can only be duplicated by the locksmith you hire to install it.
I think you’re referring to the ignition lock ears? If they are not staying when pressed on, you’ll have to replace the ignition. A local locksmith should be able to do it easily since I assume you have the working operating key.
Sorry that’s a bit too vague for me to even know what you’re referring to exactly.
