Common car lock problems
A worn key is often the cause of an ignition that turns stiffly or a door that won't unlock. Keys bend and their cuts wear down over the years, and a spare made from a worn key copies that wear. We can cut a new key to factory specification using your vehicle's details, which usually works better.
A key that breaks inside a lock or ignition should be removed with the right extractor tools. Forcing it with pliers can push the piece deeper or damage the wafers inside. If the lock is damaged, we can repair or replace it while we are there.
Lost your car keys?
Modern keys contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to your car before the engine will start. We cut and program keys on site for many makes, so you avoid towing to a dealer. See car key replacement for the key types we handle.
Parked somewhere awkward?
We work in driveways, shopping-centre parking lots, office garages and roadside. Tell us exactly where the car is and any access details such as a gate code or parking level. If you are on a busy road, stay in a safe place until the technician arrives.
Frequently asked questions
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
In most cases, yes. Automotive locksmiths use purpose-made tools to open doors without harming the lock, window or paint.
What do I need to show you?
Please have ID and, if possible, the registration or proof of ownership. We verify ownership before unlocking a vehicle or making a key.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer for a car key?
It often is, and you don't have to tow the car. Prices depend on the make, model and key type, so call with those details for an estimate.
