Like all other parts of your car, the small components inside the ignition cylinder can wear out over time, making it difficult to start your vehicle. The ignition lock assembly is a relatively simple tumbler and key mechanism designed to last the vehicle’s lifetime. However, with constant use, debris can accumulate inside the tumblers, causing the mechanism to jam.
Worn or bent keys can also damage the pins inside the lock cylinder, while the tumblers may become rounded, break, or get stuck, making it difficult to turn the key. If this is the issue, our technicians at Charleston Locksmith can create a brand-new master key, rather than just duplicating a key that’s already worn out.
Unfortunately, auto thieves often use destructive methods in an attempt to steal your vehicle, which can leave you with a broken ignition, stuck lock, or a key broken inside the ignition.
The good news is that, except in cases where a lock is broken or stuck due to an accident or crime, your car usually gives you some advance warning before you need to call a column repair specialist. Addressing the issue before your keys stop turning can save you the stress of dealing with a broken ignition.
If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to contact a registered locksmith for help, or just call us at Locksmith Charleston: (843) 380-5647. Unlike general mechanics, who have limited experience and training in dealing with lock assemblies, a certified, fully-insured auto locksmith has the specialized tools and knowledge needed to quickly diagnose and repair everything from broken locks to loose steering columns.
