If you lose keys to your car first thing to do is search the area where you usually keep your keys. Some keys "drift" from their usual location and end up on the floor or underneath something. It is crucial not to give up so quickly particularly if you've already looked in the area more than once. If you've done all this and still aren't able to find your keys, contact an area locksmith to get help. The use of a locksmith is usually cheaper than going to a dealership for replacement car keys. The locksmith will require information about your vehicle including the VIN or the key code number. This information will enable the locksmith to identify your vehicle and provide you with the right key to start it.

Broken Keys

Dread and despair are likely to hit you when a broken key enters your lock. But before you give up take a deep breath and be aware that it's possible to retrieve your key. If you're lucky, you may be able grab the broken piece using an pliers-needle pair. If not, tweezers perform the same job (just be cautious not to push the broken edge deeper into the lock).

A great tip is to make use of a can of WD-40(r) Smart Straw with the smart nozzle, and spray directly through the keyhole to grease it. This will help the broken piece slide off and loosen up any binds that could be holding it in place. You can try wriggling it up and down or in and out, to let it loose from whatever is holding it back.

There are a variety of other ways that people have tried for a variety of reasons, such as using a clip to hold the broken part from both sides and then push it out. You could also try a drill bit, but be sure to drill the hole in the side that is exposed of the damaged part of the key--not the lock itself.

Damaged Keys

Sometimes what seems like a major hardware issue is really just a little bit of dust and grit underneath the keys that stop it from working properly. Most of the time, you can fix this problem yourself without needing to buy replacement parts. All you need is a prying item (something such as a credit card is ideal, but you can also use a flathead screwdriver in a pinch) and a container to keep the key pieces while you remove them.

You'll also require a spudger to remove the stubborn dirt and grime from the grooves of the key and a Q-tip for cleaning the keypad. If you're able to remove the key and its internal components ensure that you record their position so that you can put them back in the correct order in the future.

If the key is completely damaged in the ignition or the fob, a professional lock will need to retrieve it for you.
