How to Duplicate a Broken Key Video or Broken Car Key by Mr. Locksmith www.mrlocksmith.com. Sometimes we can duplicate a broken key or broken car key on a regular key machine. The key can be lined up via the end of the key (the tip) and a new copy cut. Usually, this method is very successful. However, when the key will not work or too difficult to duplicate on a regular key machine the key will have to be decoded and a key cut on the key code machine (ITL).

When the thermometer dips below freezing temperatures at Mr. Locksmith we receive many calls from customers who are locked out of their cars because the car door lock is frozen. Note: the most common cause of frozen car locks is the customer washed their car and not only is the car lock frozen but the entire door. Most of the time only a small amount of water has entered the car lock via the key hole.

So what do you do if your car door lock is frozen “do not pour hot water over your car door and car lock.” Boiling water may or may not work but the hot water may damage the door lock and seals. Also, the water will freeze again this time in the lock and linkage.

I have found the best method to loosen up the frozen lock is using a spray “Lock De-icer.” Lock De-icer is available at most Automotive Stores and Canadian Tire.

No Lock De-icer? If you are at home Hook up a blow dryer. If you don’t have a long enough extension cord try warming your key with a lighter (not too hot or you can melt some parts of the lock, a lot of plastic parts in modern car locks). Just heat the key up and put it into the lock, remove the key and reheat, keep doing this until the lock will eventually unfreeze and open. Note: If you do not have a lighter use you hands to warm the key.

Lubricate Your Car Locks:
During cold weather flush your car locks with WD40 to remove the moisture (do not use oil, this attracts dust and dirt and will eventually jam the lock). Again, the best solution is “Lock De-Icer” sprayed into the car lock key hole. Gently put the tip of your car key into the lock to push back the key lock dust cover and spray lock de-icer into the keyway.

Never try to force your door open. Cold plastic and metal become brittle and cold metal will break with very little force. We have had to open cars with a broken car door handle because the customer try to force open the door.

A very simple method is to try opening the passenger door or the cars hatch. However, most modern cars only have a drivers door lock and no passenger lock.

Hopefully these simple methods can help you. If you do call us at Mr. Locksmith Professional Locksmiths to open your car we use a portable rechargeable hair dryer and Lock De-icer to open your frozen car door lock.

If you have BCAA auto insurance, Canadian Automobile Assocaition (CAA), American Automoblie Assocation (AAA) or other emergency auto/RV/motorcyle/bike roadside service, and if your keys are locked inside the car or trunk, or your keys are lost or broken, and lost car keys, they will cover emergency locksmith service up to $100.

Locked out? Need Keys? Keys locked in your car? or worst, keys locked in the trunk?

When I passed my drivers license (one day after I turned 16yrs old) and I could now, after school and weekends, do emergency mobile locksmith service. My favorite locksmith job was “keys locked in car.” I could open any car with a homemade long piece of banding steel (later I bought a “Slim Jim”) and a coat hanger with a Sheperd’s hook bent on one end. I later updated my coat hanger to a chrome coat hanger (people got upset when I just used a plain coat hanger).

I could open any car in less than 60 seconds. Today with modern cars with anti-theft devices, air bags in the door, pick resistant locks I have a large car opening kit filled with air wedges, long reach tools that glow in the dark, bendable tools with hooks and lasso and a computer program to help me open the harder cars. Also, I have specialized lock picks to open pick resistant locks (BMW, Lexus, etc.).

Note: Tennis balls blowing air into the keyhole will not open any car (fun stunt on Youtube).

At Mr. Locksmith Automotive Locksmiths we get several calls a day from people who have lost the keys to their steering wheel car theft prevention device.

Living in the Car Theft Capital of Canada the car owners in the Greater Vancouver area have to use car theft prevention devices like the The Club to lock the steering wheel to prevent their cars from being stolen. In 2009, British Columbia had the highest car theft frequency in Canada. Approximately 11 vehicles per 1,000 or 2-4 times the auto theft of other provinces and regions. British Columbia is the auto theft capital of the Western World.

I have read on the internet and have seen the results of people trying to remove Clubs or Steering wheel locks. Several website recommend forcing the lock with a screwdriver or to freeze the lock with Freon. Both of these methods do not work and usually result in damaging the steering wheel, front windshield or causing the airbag to deploy at the cost of hundreds of dollars (one customer had the front and side air bags deploy at the cost of over $3000). Another customers’ fingers were frost bitten not to mention how expensive and environmentally unfriendly using Freon to freeze the lock. I have never seen the results of using Freon work on any lock.

Bottom line: Screwdrivers and Freon does not work. Clubs and Steering wheel locks have been designed to beat the average or above average car thieves from removing them.

At Mr. Locksmith all of our locksmiths have been trained to safely, and with no damage to the car, remove a locked Club or Steering wheel lock. Most of the time we can pick the lock with our lock picks quickly and efficiently.

Despite the risk of you losing your key to your steering wheel lock they are still a great deterrent to prevent the theft of your car. Even if your car has an alarm system, immobilizer or the car is equipped with transponder or chip key security system I highly recommend a club or steering wheel lock on your car. And if you do loose your Club key, Mr. Locksmith will remove the steering wheel lock with no damage to your car or steering wheel.

If you have BCAA auto insurance, Canadian Automobile Assocaition (CAA), American Automoblie Assocation (AAA) or other emergency auto/RV/motorcyle/bike roadside service, and if your keys are locked inside the car or trunk, or your keys are lost or broken, they will cover emergency locksmith service up to $100. We will provide you with a receipt so you can submit it to your auto insurance provider for reimbursement.
