What to Do If Your Transponder Keys Breaks in the Lock

Posted on 11th, Jul 2016

You’re in a rush and on your way out when the unthinkable happens, your transponder key breaks in the lock or ignition. It’s not an ideal situation but you need to take action quickly to rectify the situation. Auto locksmiths can come to you and get you on your way in not time. If you need a Locksmith in Sydney that can get to you quickly and quote a reasonable amount get in contact with NJ’s Locksmith straightaway. Here’s what to do if your transponder key breaks in the lock.

Stay Calm

The damage is done and you can’t go back in time so it’s not worth stressing about something that can’t be undone. Try and remain calm so you can rationally think about what you are going to do about it. It’s no use messing around with the broken key and it’s best to leave it so you don’t make it any worse. If you choose to use a Residential Locksmith in Sydney then you should leave it as is. They have the skills and tools remove it and provide you with a copy quickly and easily.

Find Your Spare Key

If you’ve managed to remove your key and haven’t caused any damage to the lock you could use your spare key until you’ve organised a copy of it. You may have given this to someone to take care of it for you in case you ever needed it. Otherwise you may have hidden it somewhere. If you have lost the spare or can’t remember where you put it then you have two options. You could contact your car dealer and get your local locksmith around to get you on your way.

Get in Touch with Your Car Dealer

One way to get a new key for your car is to get hold of your car dealer. However, they are generally limited to set hours and are expensive. You could purchase as many sets as you like to have these on hand in case you ever need a spare key ever again. It can also pose a problem getting to the car dealer as you won’t be able to use your car.

Contact Your Local Locksmith

Experienced residential locksmiths know their stuff when it comes to replacing car keys. There are services that are mobile which is ideal in this scenario as they can come to you. When you call them inform them of the make, year and model of your vehicle and be prepared to answer any questions. Have your proof of identification handy to demonstrate you are who you say you are and also your ownership of the car. As long as you provide sufficient information they can give you an accurate quote over the phone. NJ’s Locksmith is generally much cheaper than the car dealer plus you have the added bonus that they will come to you at any time of the day or night. If you are happy with the estimate then they can proceed with the work.

NJ’s Locksmith in Sydney is a team of residential locksmiths that will come to you 24/7 no matter what your locksmith related issue. They are experienced with transponder keys and can give you a better price than your car dealer as well as offering convenience. Keep the contact details of NJ’s Locksmith on hand in case you ever need to use their services.
