There are many ways to repair an ignition lock. You can replace your ignition lock, rekey your ignition, rebuild your lock cylinder and electronically reset your ignition lock. Replacing your ignition lock will remove your old ignition lock cylinder and install a brand new one. This will allow you to use your current keys and new technology. Rekeying your ignition lock will change the pins inside your ignition lock cylinder to match your new key. This is beneficial if someone has stolen your key. Rebuilding your lock cylinder will replace the tumblers and springs in your ignition lock cylinder. This can save you money and is a great option if you have a classic vehicle. Electronically resetting your ignition lock is used on vehicles that have chip keys. Christian Locksmith can repair any type of ignition lock on any vehicle.
My ignition lock won’t turn! Ignition Lock Repair
In 1965 there were not many security features on vehicles. Cars had an ignition lock that you could insert your key into and start your vehicle. There were some basic security measures but nothing that we see in modern day vehicles. Throughout the 70s and 80s manufacturers started adding steering column locks to their vehicles. This allowed the steering wheel to be locked when you took your key out of your ignition lock. In the 90s the chip key was introduced.
VATS keys
This small chip sits inside the top of your key. Once you insert your key into the ignition your car will read the information on the chip and allow your vehicle to start. Since then there have been many more advances to vehicle security. Cars now have key fobs, keyless entry and buttons to start your vehicle. Some vehicles even use biometrics and phone applications to start your vehicle. Companies like Tesla now allow you to start your car with your phone or a key card. Christian Locksmith keeps up with all of these new technologies
