Car lock and ignition repair in Orlando, FL
The mechanical half of the car’s security: door locks and ignitions that worn out, jammed or gave up — repaired where the car sits.
Answered by the locksmith, not a call center · Open Mon–Sun · 8:00–22:00
Not every car locksmith job is about making a new key. Half the call sheet is mechanical: an ignition that needs a ritual wiggle to start, a door cylinder that spins uselessly, a latch that gave up after a break-in attempt. These are repair jobs, and they are done at the curb.
The rule on these jobs is diagnosis before parts. A no-turn ignition can be the cylinder, the steering lock or a tired battery — and the honest answer about which one decides an honest price. The diagnosis is explained before anything is disassembled.
What’s included
- Ignition cylinders diagnosed, re-pinned or replaced — the wiggle-start cured at the curb.
- Door lock cylinders cleaned, re-pinned or swapped, including post-break-in recovery.
- Latch and actuator faults separated from lock faults so the right part gets fixed.
- Rekeying after stolen keys — the missing key stops opening the doors the same visit.
- Every diagnosis explained in plain words before a panel comes off, with the price attached.

Before you call
Quick answers
Is it the ignition or the battery when the key won’t turn?
A fully dead battery can imitate a worn ignition on push-button cars, and a bound steering lock can imitate one on older cars. The diagnosis separates them in minutes — and you only pay for the part that actually failed.
Do you repair ignitions at the parking lot, or tow the car?
At the lot, the driveway, the garage — wherever the car sits. Ignition cylinders are locksmith work at the curb; only a mechanical column fault beyond the lock would be a shop conversation, and we say so first.
How much do car lock and ignition repairs cost?
Locks typically run $70–$250, ignitions $120–$350 — diagnosis and repair vs replacement decide where in the range. The figure is agreed before work starts, not after.
Can you make one key work the doors and the ignition?
On many vehicles, yes — the locks are keyed alike to one key where the hardware allows it. Ask on the call; it turns three keys on a ring into one.
Someone broke into my car. What should be fixed first?
Security first: the punched lock or forced cylinder is brought back so the car locks again, then the rest. Frame or glass damage is body-shop territory, and we’ll tell you honestly where the boundary sits.
