Why Wilmington Trusts Us for Car Key Replacement
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.
Transponder Key Stopped Working
The key turns but the car won't start? The transponder chip that talks to your immobilizer may have failed. We can diagnose the issue and reprogram or replace the key on-site.
Historic Home Security
Wilmington's beautiful Victorian-era homes in Trolley Square and Highlands often require specialized lock hardware that preserves historic charm while providing modern security. Our technicians are experts in antique mortise locks and period-correct hardware.
Urban Apartment Security
Downtown high-rises and Riverfront apartment complexes need master key systems and secure access control solutions compatible with building management requirements.
Corporate Campus Access
With major corporations like Bank of America, Capital One, and AstraZeneca headquartered in Wilmington, businesses need sophisticated access control, key management, and emergency lockout response.
University District Security
Near the University of Delaware campus, students and landlords frequently need lock changes between tenants, emergency lockouts, and upgraded security for rental properties.

"Snapped my front door key right off in the lock at 7am before work. Kwikey extracted the broken piece without any damage to the lock cylinder and cut me a new key on the spot. Saved me from replacing the entire lock."

Expertly Resolved FAQ: Car Key Replacement

I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more
Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.
How long will the locksmith service take? expand_more
The duration of our locksmith services varies based on the complexity of the hardware. Most emergency vehicle and home lockouts are resolved professionally in a single visit. Technical rekeying is a relatively quick process per cylinder, while complex automotive programming or high-security hardware installation may require additional time.
