How Our Lost Key Replacement Process Works
Getting a new key made is simple. When you call Unlock Cars Door, we gather your vehicle information, verify ownership upon arrival, and begin the key replacement process:
- We assess your lock and ignition system
- Cut a new key to factory specifications
- Program transponders, remotes, or smart fobs as needed
- Test the new key to ensure full functionality
Most jobs take place in under an hour once the technician arrives.
Lost Keys vs Locked Keys
If you believe your keys are simply locked inside the car, you may only need our Car lockout service. If the keys are completely missing, or your fob stopped responding, a full replacement is usually required. We can help diagnose the situation and recommend the best solution for your vehicle.
When You Should Replace, Not Duplicate
There are times when replacing your key is better than copying an existing one:
- Your key was stolen — protect your vehicle from unauthorized access
- Your key is damaged or worn out and no longer turns smoothly
- Your remote or fob buttons no longer work reliably
- Your key broke inside the ignition or door lock
If your key stem is stuck or broken inside a lock, we also offer key extraction service.
