Jammed ignition
Have you lost your car keys?
If the key won’t turn in the ignition, it could be because something is blocking it. It can seem like a good idea to spray it with lubrication in an effort to persuade it to move, but that isn’t always the case. This can sometimes collect dirt and filth, exacerbating the situation. To get your ignition to turn, our auto locksmiths use a specific lubricant that does not solidify or collect dust and debris. If that doesn’t work, there’s probably another issue with the car key.
Does the problem exist in the ignition itself? It’s not completely out of the question. Are you the kind of person who turns their keys with a lot of force? When you start your car, do you jam the keys into the ignition? If that’s the case, it’s not surprising that the ignition may be worn to the point that the keys no longer turn it. If this is the case, our Locksmiths Perth will dismantle your ignition chamber, inspect it for worn pins and tumblers, and replace them as necessary to restore key compatibility.
Broken keys
Have your keys worn out? Bent? Dented? If that’s the case, you might want to think about getting new keys made. Fortunately, our auto locksmiths in Perth can provide on-the-spot key replacements for lost, stolen, or otherwise damaged keys.
