I went back down to the lot and used the same key to open and start his two door Saab. That was the only time that ever happened to me and it was 35 year ago.
I'm assuming it wasn't a key fob but the metal variety if it was 35 years ago. I know with keyed deadbolts they only have 4 or 5 different keys they come with so you should rekey the lock before installing it.
