Comprehensive Car Key Replacement Services

We do more than just cut keys here at 24Hr Car Unlocking. We offer a full range of on-site locksmith services to quickly restore access to and operation of your car without having to make unnecessary journeys to the dealership.

Lost Car Key Replacement
Lost all your car keys? Don’t panic. Our locksmiths can originate a brand-new key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN and ECU data — no original key required.
We’ll cut, program, and test your new key or fob right away. We will give you complete access again and disable any old keys for safety, no matter if your keys were lost, stolen, or broken.
We can replace:
• Standard keys (metal)
• Laser-cut keys
• Transponder chip keys
• Smart key fobs (push-to-start)
• Keyless entry remotes

Spare & Duplicate Car Keys
Don’t wait until you’re locked out to think about a backup. Our technicians can create duplicate keys and fobs for most vehicles at a fraction of dealership prices — usually within 30 minutes.
Having a spare key helps prevent emergencies, saves time, and protects against being stranded.

Transponder Key Replacement
Modern vehicles rely on transponder chips embedded inside the key head to prevent theft. These keys must be programmed to your car’s immobilizer system — otherwise, they won’t start the engine.
We use special testing tools to make sure that your new key works perfectly with the computer in your car.

Smart Key & Push-to-Start Fob Replacement
Your smart key or push-button fob may need to be replaced or reprogrammed if it has ceased working. These high-tech systems use rolling codes and encrypted communications, therefore programming them correctly is quite important.
We’ll:
• Test and diagnose your fob
• Program a new one on-site
• Sync it with your ignition, doors, and trunk
• Verify full functionality before leaving
No towing. No dealership delay. Just fast, professional service where you are.

Broken or Stuck Key Extraction
If your key broke inside the door or ignition, don’t try to take it out yourself. Our locksmiths utilize exact extraction equipment to remove the part without damaging your car.
Once removed, we can cut and program a replacement key immediately to get you back on the road.

Ignition Repair & Replacement
If your key won’t turn or feels stuck, there might be a problem with the ignition cylinder. We take care of:
• Ignition repair
• Cylinder rebuild
• Ignition replacement
We’ll match and rekey the new ignition to your car’s key system so everything works seamlessly — doors, trunk, and ignition.

Reprogramming After Lost or Stolen Keys
If your car keys were stolen, we can reprogram your vehicle’s computer to remove access from the missing key. Only your new programmed keys will work — restoring your vehicle’s safety instantly.
