Car key won’t turn? Key stuck in the ignition? Vehicle not starting even though the battery is fine?
You may have an ignition switch or ignition cylinder problem.
Ricky Locksmith provides professional ignition switch repair and ignition lock replacement in Lake Worth, FL, and we come directly to your vehicle — no towing required.
Many drivers assume they need a mechanic or dealership, but ignition lock issues are actually a specialized automotive locksmith service. We repair or replace the ignition on-site so you can drive again the same day in most cases.
Ignition problems usually start small and suddenly leave you stranded. Call us if you notice:
Key won’t turn in ignition
Steering wheel locked and won’t release
Key stuck and won’t come out
Car intermittently starts
Key turns but engine doesn’t crank
You must wiggle the key to start the car
Broken key inside ignition
Push-to-start button not responding
If ignored, the ignition cylinder can seize completely and the vehicle won’t start at all.
Inside your ignition are small pins and wafers that match your key. Over time they wear down, especially if the key is old or bent. Florida heat and humidity also contribute to internal wear.
We repair:
Worn ignition wafers
Jammed ignition cylinders
Sticking ignition locks
Steering column lock issues
In many cases we can repair the ignition instead of replacing it, saving you money and keeping your original keys working.
If the ignition is beyond repair, we replace the ignition cylinder and configure it to your vehicle.
Our service includes:
Removing damaged ignition
Installing a new ignition lock
Re-keying to match your existing key (when possible)
Programming transponder chip keys if required
Testing vehicle start and security system
Everything is done on-site — your car stays where it is parked.
Do not force it out. Pulling hard often breaks the key and makes the repair more complicated.
We safely remove stuck keys and restore the ignition mechanism. In many situations, you won’t need a full replacement once the internal issue is corrected.
Many Lake Worth drivers call a tow truck thinking the battery or starter failed. Very often the real problem is the ignition switch not sending the proper signal to the vehicle.
An ignition locksmith can diagnose the issue on-site and fix it immediately — saving the cost and delay of towing to a repair shop.
