I fix common mechanical and electronic lock faults on cars, vans and SUVs. Typical issues include worn tumblers, jammed wafers, snapped keys in cylinders, failed ignition switches and door/boot lock failures.

Typical ignition & lock problems

  • Key won’t turn or is difficult to remove from ignition
  • Key stuck/snapped in ignition or door lock
  • Steering lock engaged / ignition barrel worn
  • Door/boot won’t lock or unlock (mechanical fault)
  • Intermittent no-start from ignition switch/reader

How It Works

1
Assessment — describe the symptoms (key turn, extraction, specific door/boot). I’ll quote and advise if parts are needed.
2
On-site repair — strip & service the barrel, re-pin/rebuild, replace switches/cylinders as required.
3
Test & secure — smooth key operation, start/stop checks and lock/unlock verification on all doors.

Ignition & Lock Repair — FAQs

My key is stuck in the ignition — can you remove it?

Yes. I can safely extract the key and service or rebuild the barrel so it operates smoothly.

The key won’t turn — do I need a new barrel?

Not always. Many barrels can be serviced or re-pinned to match your existing key, saving cost.

Can you fix a door or boot that won’t open?

Yes — I repair or replace faulty door/boot lock mechanisms and ensure keys/remotes work correctly.
