Can I Still Fix A Broken Car Key?
Your car is your second home. It’s where you spend countless hours of your life with the people you love, and it should be comfortable and welcoming. A broken car key can be a real bummer and the thought of having to replace your whole car lock is even worse.
Frustrations are set to kick in and panic-mode activated. But before you head out for a new one, there are many ways to fix or repair a broken key without buying an entirely new set.
Reasons why a key may break include:
Misuse or Overuse of the Key
Repetitive use of the same key overtime causes rustiness which is an indication that your key is becoming weak.
Accidents
May get damaged during an accident with a vehicle door jams and not just from the lock itself; it may break inside the ignition.
Extreme Weather Conditions
A key being exposed to an extreme cold or hot atmosphere can alter the shape of the metal.
The first step before any repair should be an inspection for damage to surrounding parts like wiring and other sensors that could become damaged if the car key is inserted. After damage assessment, the cause of the problem should be determined.
Depending on the situation, a professional locksmith may do either one or more of these key repairs:
Sending your current car keys to a professional for repair can take anywhere from 24 hours up to two weeks and the price will depend on how extensive the damage is. This process requires an authorized dealer who will keep track of your information such as vehicle identification number in order to receive accurate pricing estimates and quotes before you proceed.
Replacing just the part that needs replacing which only takes about 15 minutes.
