The Car Seat Spare Key
The most frequent problem for parents is trying to reach behind the child's car seat to unbuckle it but aren't able to. A company called NAMRA has created The Car Seat Key to simplify this task.
UK Auto Locksmith offers a cheaper alternative to purchasing a new seat key from the Seat dealer.
Lost Keys
The first thing you should do when you lose the car key is to take a look at the location where you normally keep the keys. Some keys "drift" from their usual location and end up on a floor or under something. It is crucial not to give up so quickly especially if you've already looked in the area more than once. If you've already done this, but you are still unable to locate your keys, get in touch with a local locksmith for assistance. Locksmiths can be cheaper than dealerships for replacement keys for cars. The locksmith will require some details about your car including its VIN or key code number. This information will help the locksmith identify your vehicle and give you the correct key to start it.
Broken Keys
The feeling of helplessness and fear take over your mind when a key gets damaged in your lock. Take a deep breath before you give up. It's not impossible. If you're lucky enough, there might still be enough of the broken piece that you can reach it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers should work fine too (just be sure you don't accidentally push the broken edge further into the lock).
A great method is to use a bottle of WD-40(r), Smart Straw and the intelligent nozzle to directly spray into the keyhole. This will help the damaged piece to slide out and also loosen any binds hindering it from moving. Try moving it up and down, or in and out, in order to remove it from whatever is causing it to become stuck.
There are a variety of other ways that people have tried such as using a paperclip to hold the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. You could also try a drill, but make sure you drill the hole through the exposed side of the broken part of the key, not the lock itself.
Damaged Keys
Most of the time, what appears be a major hardware issue is really just a little bit of dust or grit that has settled under the key, which is stopping it from working correctly. It is possible to repair this yourself without the need for replacement parts. All you require is a plastic prying tool (something like a credit card works best but you could use a flathead screwdriver in a pinch) and an appropriate container to store the key pieces while you remove them.
You'll also require the use of a spudger to get rid of tough dirt and grime as well as a Q tip for cleaning the keypad. If you're able to remove the key and its internal components be sure to note the location of each to ensure you can put them back together correctly in the future.
If the key is completely broken in the ignition or the fob, a professional lock will need to retrieve it for you. This is due to the fact that Seat uses a special 4 digit security code that is used to program keys to cars and they don't provide this information to anyone, even the owners. We can locate this code with a specialist tool and software, and provide you with a brand new replacement key at a lower cost than the dealership.
