All Keys Lost: What Changes?

An all keys lost service in Burbank is more involved than making a spare from an existing working key. When there is no key to copy, our technician must confirm the correct key type, verify ownership, and prepare the vehicle to accept a new key safely.

This type of car key replacement with no original key may cost more than duplicate keys because it can require extra security access, cutting information, and testing time. In most cases, our mobile locksmith no key situation service is completed on-site, so towing to a dealership is not required.

AKL may require:

  • ECU or immobilizer reset/reprogramming when the vehicle security system requires it
  • Key code retrieval for mechanical keys when there is no original key to copy
  • Additional labor and programming time compared with a simple duplicate key

Frequently Asked Questions

My ignition is stuck and the key won't turn — what should I try first?

Wiggle the steering wheel left and right while gently turning the key — this releases the steering lock, which causes most stuck-ignition cases. If that fails, stop forcing it (you can snap the key) and call our auto locksmith in Burbank for an on-site diagnosis.

Can you replace an ignition cylinder without towing my car?

Yes. Our mobile locksmith team carries cylinders, lock cores, and programming tools so we can diagnose, replace, and re-key the ignition right in your driveway or parking lot anywhere in Burbank.

Will a new ignition mean I need new keys too?

Not always — we can re-key most replacement cylinders to match your existing key so you don't have to carry two. If new keys are required, we cut and program them on the same visit.

My car cranks but won't start — could it still be the ignition?

Possibly. A failing ignition switch (the electrical part behind the cylinder) can cut power to the fuel pump or starter intermittently. Our technician tests both the mechanical lock and the electrical switch before quoting any repair.

How long does ignition repair take in Burbank?
