We should all take measures to ensure that we have our car keys at all times, but sometimes we forget. Sometimes we lose our car keys, or the transponder key stops working. An auto locksmith can replace your transponder or car keys when you need it, as well as rekey your car entirely. Ability Lock & Key in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, and High Point, North Carolina, specializes in high-security keys, deadbolt installation, and master key systems to keep your car, home, or business secure.

5 Reasons to Call an Auto Locksmith

1. You’re Locked Out of Your Car

It happens. Sometimes you close the door and then realize you just locked your keys inside. While newer models are sometimes equipped with a keypad on the door, older models need to be opened manually. For those times, an auto locksmith is your best friend.

2. You Lost Your Keys

Keys have a way of going missing. And you don’t always have time to figure out whether they’re under the couch cushion or lost for good. An auto locksmith can make you a new set of car keys, including transponder keys.

3. You Bought a Used Car

If you’re buying a used car, you’ll probably want an extra set of car keys. A locksmith can generate car chip keys, which activate the ignition automatically with the push of a button.

4. Security Concerns

Maybe you’ve bought a used car and are worried about safety. An auto locksmith can rekey your car to ensure no one else will be able to unlock it.

5. Your Transponder Isn’t Responding

If the automatic button on your transponder key has stopped working, an auto locksmith can make you a new one. That way, you don’t have to put up with locking and unlocking your car manually, thereby not having the alarm activate each time it's locked.

Whether you need to replace your transponder keys or have your car rekeyed, an auto locksmith can do it all. For mobile locksmith services in the Piedmont area of North Carolina, call Ability Lock & Key at (336) 784-0226.
