Lost Your Only Key—Car Is Useless

No key means no driving. You can't even unlock it to get your registration out. The dealer wants a premium and says to tow it in. We come to you, create a new key from scratch, and get you driving professionally.

Only Have One Key and That Makes You Nervous

You've been meaning to get a spare for years. Every time you misplace that single key, you panic. Get a backup now while you still have one to copy—it's more convenient and practical than starting from zero.

Key Is Worn and Barely Works

You have to jiggle it just right, or it only works every third try. Worn keys damage ignitions. Get a fresh-cut key before that dying key completely fails.

Dealer Quoted You HOW MUCH?

Your local Honda/Toyota/Ford dealer wants a premium and can't see you until next week? We use the same professional equipment, charge significantly less, and come to you today.

Common Car Key Replacement Questions in Claymont

Can you program transponder chip keys on-site? expand_more

Absolutely. Our technicians use high-end diagnostic equipment to program transponder chips and key fobs on-site. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership towing and provides a faster solution for modern vehicle security.

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.

Do you bring hardware with you or do I need to purchase locks? expand_more

Our mobile units are stocked with a comprehensive inventory of Grade 1 and Grade 2 locks, deadbolts, and high-security hardware. While we carry components from industry-leading brands for same-day resolution, we can also source specialized hardware to meet your unique architectural or security requirements.

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.

Should I get a spare car key made? expand_more

Definitely. Getting a spare now is a highly recommended safety measure compared to what you'll experience during an emergency lockout. Plus, programming a spare is simpler and more straightforward when you have a working key to reference.

Are you professionally insured? expand_more

Yes. Kwikey Locksmith is a fully insured professional entity. Every technician on our team undergoes rigorous background verification and continuous technical auditing to maintain our enterprise-grade service standards.
