Signs your ignition needs attention

  • The key won’t turn, or only turns after jiggling it.
  • The key gets stuck in the ignition.
  • A worn key that no longer works smoothly.
  • Damage after a break-in or attempted theft.

What we do

  • Inspect the ignition barrel and the key — often a worn key is the real cause, and a new key fixes it.
  • Repair the ignition lock, or replace it and match it to your key.
  • Diagnose immobiliser and electrical faults if the car still won’t start.

    FAQ

    Do I need a new ignition and new keys?

    When other well-known locksmiths, including Armstrong Ross and Galt, declined the call-out, this locksmith came to the rescue. He went above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, arriving promptly and fully equipped with electronic diagnostics and key-cutting equipment. He was honest, reliable, and not afraid to get his hands dirty to find the right solution. His professionalism, organisation, and determination to get the job done were second to none. If you're looking for a locksmith who genuinely cares about helping people and will go the extra mile, this is your guy. We highly recommend his services and will definitely be sending more business his way. Thank you for the outstanding service!
