What To Do if Your Key Won't Turn In The Lock

A key that won’t turn could be a quick fix—or the sign of a bigger issue. Before calling our 24-hour locksmiths, try gently jiggling the key while applying light pressure. Sometimes, misalignment or minor debris can prevent the mechanism from moving. Avoid using force, as this can damage the key or break it off inside the lock.

If available, you can also try using a lubricant like graphite powder or a silicone-based spray. Spray it into the keyhole and try the key again. This can sometimes resolve sticking caused by dust or corrosion. If your lock still won’t turn, it’s time to bring in the professionals.

Our residential and commercial locksmiths are trained to identify the root cause of the problem. Whether it’s a worn-out key, a damaged cylinder, or a misaligned door, we’ll get your lock working properly again, day or night.

Signs You May Require Transponder Key Replacement

A failing transponder key could just be a dead battery, but it could also be something more serious.

Watch for these signs that your transponder key may need full replacement:

  • The car won’t start even with a new battery in the key: If your car’s security system doesn’t recognize the chip, the ignition won’t engage, no matter what.
  • You’re getting a “key not detected” message: This usually means the transponder chip is damaged or completely unresponsive.
  • Intermittent recognition by the vehicle: If your car starts sometimes but not others, the chip signal may be weakening or failing.
  • The key needs to be held at a weird angle to work: This can be a sign of internal chip misalignment or physical damage.
  • The check engine or security light flashes when trying to start: That can be the vehicle’s way of alerting you to an issue with key communication.

Which Documents Do You Need To Provide for Transponder Key Replacement?

To protect your vehicle from unauthorized access, we’ll need some proof of ownership before replacing or programming a transponder key.

Please have the following ready:

  • A valid driver’s license or state-issued ID
  • Vehicle registration or title showing your name
  • VIN (usually found on the dashboard or door frame)
  • These documents help us verify ownership and ensure your key is made securely and legally.

Should You Consider Emergency Lock Repair or Replacement?

If your lock suddenly stopped working because it’s jammed, broken, or clearly compromised, then it’s time to weigh the pros and cons of repair versus replacement.

Emergency repairs are often a fast and affordable way to restore security. Our locksmiths can realign components, replace springs, or adjust worn parts to make your lock work like new.

However, sometimes the damage is beyond saving. This can often be the case, especially with older locks that have endured years of wear. If you’ve experienced a break-in or if the lock simply won’t engage even after multiple attempts, replacement is the safer and more reliable option. Our team can install a new deadbolt, smart lock, or commercial-grade system.

Keep in mind that upgrading your locks after an emergency can be a smart long-term move. If you’ve been thinking about going keyless or upgrading to a more secure system, an emergency might be the perfect time to make the switch. We carry a full selection of locks and hardware, and can either replace the lock on the spot or schedule you for a replacement if the process requires the time allowed by a non-emergency visit.
