Emergency Situations When an Automotive Locksmith Service Is NeededMarch 8, 2023

At Altona Locksmiths, our auto locksmiths in Altona work hard every day to get stranded motorists back on the road by resolving their car key, lock, and ignition issues. There are several recurring issues that we observe showing up again and time again! Are you curious about these difficulties and how we might resolve them? You've arrived at the correct location.

Car Keys Were Misplaced

They are not on the kitchen counter. You've gone through every drawer and cupboard. Lost and Found haven't spotted them. In desperation, you dig through old clothes, hoping to find them in a pocket. If you've tried everything to find your keys and still haven't found them, it's time to call an Altona auto locksmith.

Losing your car keys is inconvenient. Fortunately, our car key replacement service makes things easier by replacing lost car keys on the spot. Our locksmiths can cut new keys, program transponder keys, and work without the original key for reference. Of course, once you get your new keys, you'll want to ensure you never lose them again.

Keys Left in The Car

When we're sleep deprived, we all do foolish things. Normally, they aren't much worse than mistakenly adding salt instead of sugar to your morning coffee. Sometimes, you end up doing something inconvenient, such as locking your keys inside your automobile. Assume this occurs while you are away. What can you do to reclaim your keys and obtain access to your vehicle? Fortunately, you don't have to shatter a window. You also won't have to contact a time-consuming (and costly) tow truck since a mobile vehicle locksmith assures faster response time and on-the-spot repairs.

One of the first things your locksmith learns is how to unlock vehicle doors and boots. It is one of our most common assignments, as you can tell from its presence on this list. In fact, we are so confident in our abilities to unlock car doors that we guarantee that if we cannot get you back in, you will not be charged.

Remote Key Failure

Is your car remote no longer working? If this is the case, there are numerous possible explanations:

  1. A faulty battery
  2. Your remote has become out of sync with your vehicle.
  3. It might be completely broken.
  4. A car remote malfunction might occur at any moment and in any location.

If you lose or damage your car remote, you will need the assistance and knowledge of an auto locksmith who can repair or replace your existing remote key. Is it as debilitating as the other issues mentioned here? No, but that doesn't make it any less aggravating to deal with!

Car Key Trapped in The Ignition

So your keys have become stuck and will not budge no matter how hard you yank or twist them. If you find yourself in this circumstance, you should first stop - there's a good probability you're exacerbating the injury! Instead, you should contact an Altona auto locksmith.

One of the challenges our staff deals with regularly is car ignition troubles. Our technicians can help you extract a stuck key, clear dirt from ignition chambers, replace bent keys, and repair broken pins and tumblers.

Stolen Car Keys

Stolen automobile keys are not just inconvenient; they may also constitute a significant security concern. Someone out there has the potential to get into (and drive away with) your automobile!

First and foremost, secure your vehicle. We recommend keeping an eye on things or, if feasible, contacting on-site security. The next step? Calling an Altona auto locksmith!

Our locksmiths will not only cut replacement keys for you, but we will also keep you safe by rekeying your car lock and ignition. We'll render your old keys unusable by replacing the tumblers and pins. After that, we'll make new keys to match your new locks and ignition.

So what are you waiting for? When you are faced with any (or all) of these situations, contact us immediately!
