Why Deadbolt Locks So Important

There are fewer things that are more frustrating then having trouble getting your keys out of the ignition. There are some problems that we can prevent and believe it or not getting your key stuck is actually one of them. While driving is certainly a luxury, it can also be a pain if you are not paying attention to what you are doing. When you are not having maintenance performed on your vehicle regularly then you might experience a problem with your key getting stuck in the ignition.

Even if you exam your key and it looks fine, this doesn’t mean that it is. Your key may be slightly bent or you may have someone who wasn’t able to make an exact duplicate of your key. Therefore, they cut the key incorrectly. Just the slightest imperfection in your key could cause it to get stuck in the ignition. This is not an uncommon problem, as we receive calls from motorists regularly for the same issue.

Here are some steps that you can take that may help you extract your key from the ignition:

When the vehicle is in the ON position do the following:

  • Check the vehicles gears – If the gear is not in the park position you will not be able to remove the key from the ignition or start the vehicle.
  • Evaluate your vehicle dashboard – Make sure that the gear has not been knocked out of the park position. This may be the case without your even noticing it. You or someone else could have knocked it out of position.
  • Gently loosen the key – You could gently wiggle the key back and forth in an attempt to loosen it while it is still in the ignition. In some cases, it will help to slide the key out of the ignition.

 

When the vehicle is in the OFF position do the following:

  • Check your key position – If you have an older vehicle and key, this may occur more often. Get a newer key and you may not experience the problem as often.
  • Check your battery – This is often the first thing that our locksmith will check if they are called upon to help with your vehicle ignition problem. However, it is something that you can check yourself. If you have a dead battery you will be unable to remove the key from the ignition.
  • Loosing up your key – Once again, you may be able to loosen up your key just enough to slide it out of the ignition. Just keep in mind that you can’t be too rough with it or you could end up breaking off the key in the ignition, which would only make matters worse.

 

Finding a Reputable Locksmith

If your final decision is to rely on the services of a locksmith then you’ll no doubt want to call on the services of a reputable locksmith. You can always ask trusted friends and relatives who they would recommend. This is pretty easy. However, if they don’t use anyone in particular, you can go online to find out what others are saying about the locksmith in your area. Most business reviews are unbiased, as they are simply written by others who have used the services of the business that you are looking at. You will usually be able to come to a final conclusion about the business by reviewing several business review websites. Don’t just read 1 or 2 reviews read several so that it paints a clear picture of the services that the particular locksmith offers.

Also, you’ll want to make sure that the locksmith service you choose is licensed, bonded and insured. You can find this out simply by asking them and upon arrival to your location, ask them to show you’re their credentials. If they are unable to provide you with any of these things then it might be a in your best interest to look for another locksmith.

Another thing to pay attention to is the locksmith services operational hours and days. A reputable and reliable locksmith will usually be available for motorists 24-hours a day, 7 days a week. They are ready to receive your business whenever you need them. They realize that when there is a lock or key problem, it could occur at any time of the day or night. They make sure that you are able to receive help when you need it the most.
