Car lock repair & replacement in Orlando, FL
A door that won’t lock, a key that won’t turn, a trunk latch that gave up — car locks wear out like any other lock. The work happens where the car sits: diagnosis first, then repair or replacement, quoted before parts move.

What’s included
- Door lock cylinders repaired or replaced.
- Ignition diagnosis — a key that won’t turn is not always an ignition problem, and finding out costs less than guessing.
- Trunk and hatch latches brought back to working order.
- Door lock actuators — the click that does nothing — diagnosed honestly.
- Rekeying doors to match a new or existing key where the platform allows it.
What moves the price
- Cylinder-only work versus full assembly.
- Whether the ignition is involved — the priciest single component.
- Parts availability for the make and era of the car.
Typical range: $70–$250. Cylinder work sits at the low end, full assembly or ignition work at the high end — the diagnosis sets the number first.

Quick answers
The key goes in but won’t turn. Ignition or lock?
Could be either — worn key, seized cylinder or a tired ignition. The on-site diagnosis separates them, and the quote follows the finding, not a guess.
One door won’t lock from the fob but locks by hand.
That is the actuator pattern — the motor inside the door. It is diagnosed and replaced as a door-side job, quoted before the panel comes off.
Someone tried to break in and the lock is mangled.
Damaged cylinders come out and get replaced the same visit — and if the theft attempt is recent, the police report number is all we need before work starts.
Can you match the new lock to my existing key?
On many platforms, yes — the new cylinder gets pinned to your current key so one key still runs the whole car. When the platform doesn’t allow it, you hear that first.
My car is at a downtown garage. Can you work there?
Yes — garages, office lots and structures are routine. Give the level and section when you call and the ETA accounts for the walk.
