Key stuck in the ignition in Vancouver or Burnaby? Won't turn? Broken off inside? Our mobile locksmith diagnoses and repairs ignition problems on-site.
Ignition problems are among the most disruptive vehicle issues a driver can face. When your key will not turn in the ignition, turns but does not start the engine, feels unusually stiff, or has broken off inside the cylinder — you are stuck. The wrong response is to force the key or try to manipulate the ignition with improvised tools. This almost always causes additional damage that turns a simple repair into an expensive replacement.
Houdini Locksmith diagnoses ignition problems on-site across Vancouver, Burnaby, and the Lower Mainland. Our technicians are trained to identify the specific cause of the problem — whether it is a worn ignition cylinder, a damaged key, a steering column lock issue, or an electrical problem — and provide the most cost-effective solution. In many cases we can repair the existing ignition cylinder. When replacement is necessary, we carry common ignition cylinders for popular vehicle makes and can complete the replacement at your location.
If a key has broken off inside the ignition cylinder, we extract it using professional extraction tools without drilling or damaging the cylinder. After extraction, we assess whether the ignition cylinder itself was damaged and advise you honestly on what is needed. We also cut a new key on the spot if the broken key cannot be repaired.
