AUTO LOCKSMITHING FOR CARS OLD AND NEW

While traditional car keys are extremely easy to duplicate, fobs and more modern mechanisms are a bit more complicated – but don’t worry. Our team has evolved with the times and can provide you with the solutions you seek without delay.

When you contact us initially, we ask that you provide our experts with the make and model of your vehicle, the kind of key that is typically used, and the problem you’re having with it. We will be able to assist you with key replacement, car access, code reprogramming, ignition repairs, and everything in between.

If we don’t carry the tools to provide solutions for your unique vehicle, we will contact the vehicle manufacturer quickly and get keys in your hand fast!

YOUR IGNITION PROBLEMS: SOLVED

One of the most common requests we get from frustrated drivers is regarding ignitions. It is not uncommon for your ignition to fall into disrepair, for your keys to get stuck, or not work. While it’s not unusual, it is annoying, and prevents you from getting on with your day. Our team will be happy to assess the issue and determine whether it’s a key problem you’re facing or if the ignition itself needs to be rewired.

If you need to have your system inspected, don’t wait. Reach us to request assistance.

INCREASE THE SECURITY OF YOUR VEHICLE

Are you concerned about the safety of your vehicle or the belongings kept inside? Are you looking for a way to improve its security? Our team has some ideas! While changing the locks on your car may be a perfect option, investing in a keyless entry system could be a good idea too. Our experts will review your options with you and help make the ideal choice for your vehicle.

CONTACT THE AREA’S BEST CAR LOCKSMITH COMPANY

How to Prevent Locking Yourself Out of Your Vehicle

Being locked out of your vehicle is one of the most stressful experiences ever. Most people in this situation can attest to this, especially if they have somewhere to be and no access to other transportation. You can avoid this from happening to you or recurring if you make a few simple adjustments to your lifestyle. 

From our many years of experience and every sticky situation we've been called to help with, we compiled a short list of tips to help keep your car keys accessible. 

Have a Few Spare Keys; This is one of those things we expect all vehicle owners to be prepared with, but unfortunately, many people only have one set. Our best advice is to keep at least one extra set of keys in your home. If two or more people share the vehicle, get enough keys made for every driver, plus one spare one. The money you spend on a locksmith will far outweigh the cost of getting a few spares cut. 

Set a Designated Spot for Your Keys; rather than throwing your keys anywhere in your home, make it a habit you put them in the same spot every day. Some people install a key hanger near the door, while others enjoy the ease of throwing them into a bowl on the countertop. 

Use The Fob to Lock the Doors; If you find yourself regularly locked out of your vehicle with the keys on the inside, you might consider adjusting how you lock the doors when you leave. If you use the fob on your keychain to lock and unlock, you will subconsciously remember to keep the keys with you. If you have a vehicle that self-locks, try not to rely so much on that feature and use the fob. 

Repair Damaged Keys; When you try injecting a damaged key into the ignition, it's only a matter of time before it gets jammed and you find yourself calling a locksmith. The moment it becomes damaged, you should bring it to a locksmith to have it repaired or replaced. 

Attached You Car Keys to your Home Keys; Doing this is a sure way to ensure you don't forget or lose your keys. However, never keep your spares on your main set of keys because if you lock the keychain inside your vehicle, your spares will serve no purpose. 

Consider Digital Tracking; Tracker keychains are becoming increasingly popular for all the right reasons- they're easy to use and convenient. You can purchase a physical GPS tracker which gets connected to your keychain. Once you set it up on your smart device, all you need to do is click a button on your phone, and the tracker will sound off, directing you to your keys. 

Why Hiring a Locksmith is Better than Doing it Yourself

Hiring a professional locksmith instead of attempting it yourself has its trade-offs. When you're locked out of your vehicle and have somewhere to be, choosing to hire a professional locksmith can pay dividends in the form of saved time, convenience, and peace of mind.

If you ever find yourself in this dilemma, here are 5 reasons hiring a locksmith is a worthwhile investment:

Convenience; All licensed locksmiths have an inventory stocked with the tools, components, and equipment necessary to handle any situation, no matter how extreme. When Champion Lock & Safe Company is called for emergency locksmith service, we dispatch one of our team members immediately to get you back to your everyday life as soon as possible. Our service is quick, easy, and convenient. Alternatively, if you attempt it yourself, you will inconvenience yourself with lost time since you most likely lack the proper tools and knowledge to get it done quickly. 

Relevant Experience and Knowledge; Suppose you're the most devoted DIY enthusiast who doesn't back down from a challenge; some things are better left to the experts. Locks are becoming intricate in design, and most require specific tools and a specific set of knowledge to navigate them. If you lack these things, you could do more damage than good, costing you lost time and the money you hoped to save in the beginning.

Added Value; As the adage goes, you get what you pay for. This rings especially true for locksmith services. When you hire a professional locksmith, you will not doubt that the job will get done right the first time, without error. What's more, they may even offer you tips on how to prevent your issues from reoccurring. If you attempt to do this yourself because you prefer not to pay for service, you might be left disappointed with the result.

Peace of Mind; Last but not least is peace of mind. Whether your vehicle has broken locks or you lost your keys, it will become vulnerable to burglars if not repaired correctly. When you hire a locksmith to fix your broken lock or replace lost keys, you can rest easy knowing they will function safely when the job is done. The mere point of locks is to instill safety, so you may as well ensure they are working as they were designed. 

Unsure if hiring a locksmith is worth the investment? We hope we drove home the value their service will bring and why we don’t recommend doing it yourself.
