Broken Car Key or Faulty Lock? Professional Repairs

If your car key is damaged, snapped, or your remote has stopped working, it doesn’t always mean you need an expensive full replacement.

Key Lass Locksmith provides professional, mobile repair services for broken car keys, snapped blades, faulty fobs, and vehicle locks across the Yorkshire Coast, the Wolds, and Ryedale.

Wherever possible, I will always aim to repair your existing key or lock—saving you significant time and money compared to buying completely brand new.

• Snapped or Bent Key Blades – extracting broken keys safely and cutting precision replacement blades.
• Broken Key Housings & Cases – swapping your working internal electronics into a fresh, durable new outer shell.
• Faulty Remote Buttons – micro-soldering and replacing worn, non-responsive, or missing circuit board tactile switches.
• Water-Damaged Fobs – ultrasonic cleaning, component testing, and rebuilding circuit boards where possible.
• Worn or Sticking Vehicle Locks – stripping down, cleaning, and rebuilding door and boot locks with fresh internal wafers.
• Ignition Lock Issues – diagnosing and repairing jammed or failing ignitions to get your key turning smoothly again.

All work is carried out right at your location using specialist diagnostic tools and high-quality replacement parts.

Repairs start with a diagnostic assessment from £50.

This allows me to properly test the key, remote signals, or physical locking system on-site to determine the absolute most cost-effective solution for you.

If a repair is viable, I will explain the issue clearly and provide a fixed quote before proceeding with any work. If the damage is too severe and a full replacement is required instead, I will always advise you honestly.

No unnecessary work. No hidden charges.

Repairing your current key is often the smartest, quickest route when:

• The mechanical key blade has snapped or bent, but the internal electronic transponder chip still works.
• The outer remote casing is cracked, broken, or worn through, but the internal circuit board is completely intact.
• The rubber buttons have collapsed, making it hard to lock or unlock the vehicle.
• Internal battery contacts or rechargeable cells have failed or come loose from the board.

Note: If the internal transponder chip is entirely dead or physically crushed beyond repair, a full replacement will be the safer, more reliable option—and I will always explain exactly why before doing anything.
