Professional Ignition Lock Replacement at Your Location
An ignition lock can become worn, damaged, seized or mechanically faulty. Common symptoms include a key that will not turn, a key stuck in the ignition or an ignition cylinder that no longer operates correctly.
Our mobile automotive locksmiths inspect the ignition lock and determine whether repair, cylinder work or replacement is the appropriate solution for the vehicle.
Ignition lock systems differ between makes, models and model years. Using vehicle-appropriate tools and components is important because the mechanical lock can work together with the key, steering lock and immobiliser system.

Ignition Lock Replacement FAQ
Common questions about keys locked inside a vehicle and mobile car locksmith services in the Netherlands.
Can you replace a faulty ignition lock?
Yes, ignition lock and cylinder replacement solutions are available for many compatible vehicles. The exact solution depends on the make, model, year and ignition system.
Can an ignition lock be repaired instead of replaced?
In some cases, yes. The ignition cylinder or internal mechanical components may be repairable. A technician should first inspect the key and ignition to determine whether repair or replacement is the appropriate option.
Why will my key not turn in the ignition?
Possible causes include a worn key, worn ignition wafers, a seized or damaged cylinder or another mechanical fault. The key and ignition should be assessed before replacing parts.
Can you help if my key is stuck in the ignition?
Yes. A stuck key can be caused by wear or damage inside the ignition cylinder or related components. Avoid forcing the key, as this can cause additional damage or break the key.
Can ignition lock replacement be done at my location?
Many ignition-lock services can be carried out at the vehicle. Whether the complete replacement can be completed immediately depends on the vehicle, the fault and availability of the required components.
How much does ignition lock replacement cost?
Ignition lock replacement starts from €300 for compatible vehicles. The final price depends on the vehicle, ignition system, required parts, location and work involved.
Will my existing car key work with the replacement ignition?
This depends on the vehicle and replacement solution. In some cases the mechanical lock can be matched appropriately; in others additional key or programming work may be required.
Is an ignition lock problem the same as an immobiliser problem?
No. The ignition lock is the mechanical part used to insert and turn the key, while the immobiliser is an electronic security system. Similar symptoms can sometimes have different causes, so correct diagnosis is important.
What information should I provide?
Please provide your location, telephone number, vehicle make, model and year, and describe what happens when you insert or turn the key. Photos or a short video can also help with the initial assessment.
