"My house key broke inside the deadbolt and I couldn't get the broken piece out. The tech used a specialized extractor tool and had it out in under five minutes. He even filed down my spare key so it wouldn't happen again."

"Locked my keys in my truck at the grocery store parking lot. Kwikey arrived and used an air wedge and long-reach tool to open the door without a single scratch. Fast, clean, and professional. Had me back on the road in no time."

"College apartment near UD needed better security. Kwikey installed a Grade 1 deadbolt on the front door. Tech explained the difference between lock grades and why it matters. Educational and professional!"

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Car Key Replacement
Is my problem the ignition or the starter? expand_more

If your key turns but nothing happens, it's likely the starter. If the key won't turn or gets stuck, it's the ignition cylinder. We diagnose this on-site and only fix what's actually broken. No guesswork.

Can you make car keys for any vehicle? expand_more

Yes, we can cut and program keys for most makes and models, including transponder keys, smart keys, and key fobs. We work with domestic and foreign vehicles, both new and older models.

Are your locksmiths background checked? expand_more

Yes, every technician undergoes a thorough background check before joining our team. We also carry full insurance. You're trusting us with access to your home or business—we take that responsibility seriously.

Why should I use a locksmith instead of the dealership? expand_more

We come to you—no towing needed. We're typically significantly more convenient than dealers. And we're available during operating hours, not just during business hours. Our keys are identical quality to dealer keys, programmed with the same professional equipment.

My key fob isn't working. Is it just the battery? expand_more

Often yes! Key fob batteries typically last a few years. We can test and replace the battery on-site professionally. If the fob itself is damaged or needs reprogramming, we can handle that too without a trip to the dealer.

My key turns hard in the ignition. What's wrong? expand_more

This usually indicates a worn ignition cylinder. If ignored, it can leave you stranded when the key stops turning entirely. We can repair or replace your ignition cylinder on-site. Most repairs take about an hour.
