The Car Seat Spare Key
The most frequent issue for parents is reaching behind the child's car seat to unbuckle it but aren't able to. www.g28carkeys.co.uk called NAMRA has developed The Car Seat Key to simplify this task.
UK Auto Locksmith offers a cheaper alternative to buying the new key to your seat from the Seat dealer.
Lost Keys
The first thing to do if you lose your car key is to look at the area where you typically keep the keys. Sometimes, keys "drift" away from their normal location and end up on the floor or in the underside of something. It is important to not give up too soon especially if the area has been searched more than once. If you've tried this, but you are still unable to locate your keys, get in touch with a locksmith in the area for help. A locksmith's services are usually cheaper than visiting a dealership for replacement car keys. The locksmith will need details about your vehicle including its VIN or key code number. This information will help the locksmith identify your vehicle and give you the correct key for starting it.
Broken Keys
Dread and despair are likely to hit you when a key gets damaged in your lock. Take the time to breathe before you give up. It's not impossible. If you're lucky, there could still be enough of the broken piece left to be able to grab it using needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers will be sufficient (just be sure you don't accidentally push the broken edge further into the lock).
An excellent method is to use a bottle of WD-40(r), Smart Straw and the intelligent nozzle to directly spray into the keyhole. This can help the broken piece to slide out and also loosen any bind that might be holding it in place. Try wriggling it up and down or in and out to let it free from whatever is holding it.
There are several other methods that people have tried like using a paperclip to grasp the broken piece from both sides and leverage it out. You can also use a drill bit. Make sure you drill the hole on the open side of the key that has been broken, not the lock.
Damaged Keys
A lot of times, what appears be a major hardware issue is actually just some dust or grit that has settled under the key that is preventing it from functioning properly. You can often solve this yourself, without the need for replacement parts. You'll require a prying tool made of plastic (a credit card is the most suitable, but a flathead screwsdriver is also a viable option in an emergency), and a container that can be used to store the essential pieces while you remove them.
You will also need a spudger for removing stubborn dirt and grime from the key's grooves and a Q-tip to scrub the key pad. If you are able to remove the key and its internal components, make sure you note their position so you can put them back together correctly in the future.
If the key is broken in the ignition or the fob, a professional automotive lock will have to repair it for you. This is due to the fact that Seat uses a special 4 digit security code to program the keys to the car and they don't divulge the information to anyone, even the owners. With a special tool and software, we are able to identify the code and provide you with a replacement key at a cheaper price than the dealership.
