Key won't turn, or spinning in the ignition? We repair and replace faulty ignition barrels and lock cylinders across North Wales.
A worn or jammed ignition barrel can leave you stranded. We can often remove and service the barrel on the bench in our mobile workshop, or supply a replacement coded to your key.

Worn wafers, broken springs, snapped keys left in the lock, and (in older Ford and Vauxhall) the known weak springs in the barrel. Modern cars rarely have mechanical ignition issues — usually it's a key recognition problem rather than a mechanical one.
Yes, for most common cars. We carry popular replacement barrels for Ford, Vauxhall, VW, Peugeot, Citroën and others. Less common cars may need a part ordered, which we can do same-day in many cases.
Usually 60-90 minutes on site. More involved cases (where the key has snapped and damaged the lock) can take longer.
We can re-key the new barrel to your existing key in most cases. Otherwise we supply a fresh set of keys coded to the new barrel and the car's immobiliser.
