Key Broken In Ignition Or Door Lock

Worn keys can often snap off in door locks and ignitions. We regularly assist motorists that call to say they have snapped their key in the ignition barrel. In this situation we will first extract the broken car key and then re-piece the blade to create a new one. In most situations we will be able to extract the broken part of the key blade without having to remove the door lock or ignition.

Snapped Car Key

With age, keys can become extremely brittle and snap. If you have both pieces of the key blade we can re-piece them and copy this to produce a new working key. Most newer keys will contain a transponder chip that is responsible for deactivating the vehicle’s immobiliser. We can remove the chip from your old key and secure it into the new replacement key.

Most newer cars are supplied with a remote control key that operates the central locking and alarm. Where possible we aim to repair remote control problems. If it is not possible to repair the remote we can program a new remote to the vehicle and switch your old key blade over onto the new remote fob. Find out more about our remote key fob programming.

Worn Car Key

Some makes of car key can become so badly worn they stop working in some or all of the locks. Ford keys are notorious for becoming worn out at the tip of the blade. When this happens the key will still lock the vehicle but not open it. It is common for the key to stop working in one of the door locks but still work the other door and the ignition. People often conclude the lock is broken, but with Ford’s in particular, it is quite likely a worn key that is causing the problems.
