Car locksmith in Seattle

We open locked cars where they are parked, from Everett to Tacoma and in West Seattle, and we work with many vehicle makes and models. When you call, tell us the make, model and year, and the address or the nearest landmark.

The coat-hanger trick only works on some older cars and can tear the weather stripping or pull on the wiring inside the door. Breaking a window costs far more than a lockout, and you can get hurt. If the key is lost rather than locked inside, getting the door open is only half the problem: you still need a key that starts the car.

When the key won’t turn or won’t come out, the usual cause is a worn key or a worn ignition lock cylinder. We repair or replace the ignition lock cylinder and can make a new key to go with it.

We repair and replace car door and trunk locks that no longer turn, are damaged, or stopped opening.

If a key snaps off in a door lock, the trunk or the ignition, we extract the broken piece and can replace the key.

We replace car keys and fobs, including key cutting and programming where the vehicle supports it. See car key replacement.
