Quick answers

Can you make a car key if I have lost all of them?
Yes. Our techs cut and program replacement car keys on site in St. Louis, without a tow to the dealership. Bring photo ID and proof you own the vehicle and we handle the rest from the VIN.
How long does car key replacement take?
Most car key and fob jobs are finished in 20 to 45 minutes at your vehicle. Push to start and transponder keys take a little longer because the key has to be programmed to the car.
Do you program key fobs and remotes?
We program fobs, remotes and proximity keys for most makes and models, foreign and domestic. If your fob still works but the battery is dead, that is usually a much cheaper fix and we will tell you so.

The most common causes of locked keys in car doors is because of lost or stolen keys. It could be anyone who is in the possession of the car. In addition, as we all know, loose or duplicated car keys can also be a cause of locking yourself out. However, it could also be because you have locked yourself out of the car in the first place.

If you have locked your keys in a car, but are able to get inside by some miracle, there are a few things you can try. The first thing you can do is call a local locked car locksmith company. While this will not solve the problem overnight, they will be able to unlock the door for you within 24 hours time. With today’s technology, these locksmiths can even perform a fingerprint scan to determine if your keys are locked or not. If the problem is due to a lost or duplicate key, then the locksmith can provide you with a new one for a fee. The local locksmith can also provide you with some tips on how to protect your car and its locks from thieves.

If you locked your keys in car doors, you can try a temporary key duplicator. This device looks just like a regular key, but it cannot be used to make duplicate copies of keys. It can however, be used to open doors and start your car. Most of these duplicators are equipped with an alarm so that you will know if someone attempts to tamper with your car. These locksmiths can usually be found in any local car parts store or at some mall parking lots.

Another way to get access to your car keys is to buy a brand new key fob. Some cars are equipped with a small key fob within the car itself. These fobs are either plastic or metal in color and are placed in specific locations on your vehicle. They often resemble a security or parking decal, which allows you to find them in a parking lot or a lock repair shop. In order to use a key fob, you must remove the key that is associated with the deadbolt on your door.

If these solutions do not work, you can try renting a top dogz shredder. Shredding machines resemble large commercial shredders. They are capable of shredding almost anything, including original car keys locked inside your vehicle. They work by exposing a chemical reaction to a car’s metal surface to remove any kind of key. Be sure to check with your locksmith before you take this step.
