Car Key Replacement
Lost your car keys? Code Locksmith can create a complete replacement set even when you have no original key. Our mobile vans carry key blanks for major vehicle manufacturers, and we cut keys on-site using precision equipment. For older vehicles with traditional metal keys, we can often create a new key from the lock cylinder. For modern vehicles with transponder chips or smart keys, we program new keys using our diagnostic tools. Car key replacement costs vary by vehicle type, but we always provide clear pricing before starting any work.

Transponder Key Programming
Modern vehicles use transponder keys with built-in security chips that communicate with the vehicle's immobilizer system. When you need a new transponder key, Code Locksmith can cut and program it at your location. Our technicians carry a full range of transponder key blanks and use professional programming equipment compatible with vehicles from 1995 to present. Programming typically takes 15-30 minutes and is done on-site so you don't need to tow your car to a dealership. We handle Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, and virtually all other makes sold in the Los Angeles market.

Key Fob Replacement & Programming
Key fobs provide remote locking, unlocking, and in many cases push-to-start ignition. When your key fob is lost, damaged, or stops working, Code Locksmith can replace and program a new one. We stock replacement fobs for popular vehicles and can order specialty units for less common models. Programming key fobs requires specific diagnostic equipment that we bring to you—no need to drive your car anywhere. We also repair key fobs when possible, such as replacing worn buttons or fixing battery contact issues. Our key fob services include remote start programming and trunk release setup when applicable.

A stuck or broken ignition can leave you stranded. Code Locksmith offers ignition repair and replacement services for cars, trucks, and SUVs throughout Los Angeles.

In many cases, we can repair the existing ignition; when replacement is needed, we install high-quality parts and ensure proper integration with your vehicle's security system. Ignition repair is performed on-site when possible, and we'll advise you if your vehicle requires a shop visit for certain complex repairs.

Broken Key Extraction
Keys can break off inside the ignition, door lock, or trunk lock due to wear, force, or manufacturing defects. Broken key extraction is a specialized service that Code Locksmith performs regularly. Our technicians use professional extraction tools and techniques to remove the broken key fragment without damaging the lock mechanism. In many cases, we can extract the broken piece and cut a new key from it; if the key is too damaged, we create a new key by decoding the lock. Broken key extraction is typically completed in 15-20 minutes, and we'll have you back on the road with a working key the same day.
