When to Call a Professional for Broken Key Extraction or Ignition?

01

Car Key Breakage 

Weak or poorly manufactured car keys can break when inserted with extra force inside the ignition, door lock, or trunk, preventing you from accessing your car. We’ll retrieve the key without causing damage. 

02

Jammed Car Key 

Car keys can get jammed due to excessive dirt build-up or weather damage. Forcefully removing it through a sharp object can push it further deep in. Let us remove it for you safely and effectively. 

03

Worn-out Or Bent Keys 

If your keys are already worn out or bent due to wear-and-tear or rough handling, they may be more prone to breaking or getting stuck in the ignition. We’ll provide you with a fresh key on the spot. 

04

Faulty Ignition Cylinder 

If the internal mechanism of the ignition cylinder is damaged because of accumulated dirt, it may keep the key from turning properly. We’ll inspect your car’s ignition and perform the necessary repairs. 

05

Frozen or Jammed Lock 

Car locks can become frozen or blocked in extreme cold. The moisture build-up obstructs the key from passing in. We’ll quickly thaw the car lock and fix your car key if needed to solve the problem completely. 

06

Actuator Damage 

The actuator locks and unlocks your car through signal transmission. If the actuator is damaged, it may cause a lockout. Call us immediately to provide you with a new key fob.

Preventive Measures to Avoid Broken or Stuck Car Keys

Broken car keys can inconvenience you at the worst of times, especially when you’re in a hurry to get somewhere. Since prevention is better than cure, here’s what you can do to keep your keys from getting stuck or broken in the first place: 

Get some spare keys made and alternate between the main key and spare keys occasionally. 
Don’t use excessive force while turning the key in the ignition, especially if it’s getting stuck. 
Ensure proper lubrication of the locks and ignition system through graphite-based lubricants. 
If you notice any signs of damage on the key, get a replacement before the damage worsens. 
Be gentle while removing the key from the lock or ignition and keep it in a straight position. 
Upgrade to a smart keyless system, such as a car fob to avoid dealing with car key problems.
