Lost Car Keys, What to do?

Although it is a frightening experience getting locked out of your car, especially when you are far away from home, it‘s possible to get help quickly from a vehicle locksmith service. At Always locksmith we can send over a technician to help you out with
lost keys, lost transponder keys, stolen keys, spare keys, keys locked in the car, damaged locks, broken keys, and ignition replacement.

Lost Keys

Auto locksmiths can provide the same help with lost keys as can a car dealership. The advantage of using auto locksmith service is that we can come to your car instead of having the car towed to a workshop. In addition, the keys are replaced the same day and at a lower cost. This is done by cutting to code from the vehicle door or from the ignition lock. Using portable key cutting machinery and computer software, the new key will be a perfect fit.

Lost Transponder Keys

Cars with an immobilizer system can be accessed with a transponder key that has been correctly programmed. Once this is done, a new key is reprogrammed to work with the immobilizer box.

Stolen Keys

After the police have been informed of the stolen keys, a vehicle locksmith can erase the key combination in the car’s immobilizer box. This removes the previous code for the lock. Then a new key combination is made and a new key provided. Should the thief try to use the old key, it will not work.

Spare Keys

Even if keys are not lost or stolen, the vehicle owner may require an auto locksmith to help with producing spare keys. Using computers and sophisticated machinery, it is easy to produce the right copy. This correct copy can be made even if the vehicle owner’s key is not the original one.

Keys Locked In The Car

Using specialized tools, our locked out service can enter a car to retrieve keys locked in the car. We can do this even with cars which have high security features like Mercedes and BMW.

Damaged Locks

If the lock is damaged, an auto locksmith can remove the old lock, reorder the wafers, and get it to match the other locks.

Broken Keys

Should a key break in the lock, an auto locksmith can extract the key, and either create a replacement key, or if the lock itself is damaged, fix the lock.

Ignition Replacement

A vehicle locksmith can help either repair or replace an ignition barrel if the key won’t turn in the lock or the key won’t go all the way into the ignition.
