A key that will not turn or an ignition that sticks can interrupt your day. A-I Locksmith and Security handles ignition lock concerns across Dallas–Fort Worth. Describe the symptoms when you call so we can determine whether a locksmith assessment is appropriate.
Request service: Call (817) 760-2420. Tell us your city and what happened. We confirm availability, the estimated response time, and the work required for your request.
Describe what the vehicle is doing
Tell us whether the key inserts, turns, comes out normally, or has broken in the ignition. Mention steering-wheel lock symptoms and whether a spare key behaves the same way. A vehicle that cranks but does not start may have a problem outside the ignition lock, so we do not assume every starting fault needs a new cylinder.
Repair or replacement after assessment
Wear can affect the key, cylinder, or related components. The technician assesses the lock and explains the recommended work and price. Some vehicles require additional key or electronic-system work when ignition components are replaced; those requirements depend on the vehicle.
Avoid forcing a stuck key
Stop if turning the key requires unusual force. A bent or broken key can complicate the repair. Keep any broken pieces and describe what happened to the technician. Do not attempt to bypass the ignition system or apply unfamiliar products to it while waiting for help.
Common questions
Can you help with a broken key in the ignition?
We assess broken-key extraction and the condition of the ignition. Damage to the cylinder may require additional repair.
Will a new ignition use my existing key?
That depends on the vehicle, available parts, and the condition of the existing key. Ask about key compatibility before approving replacement.
