NEED CAR KEYS: When Your Ignition Lock Won't Turn

Picture this: You're rushing to work, you hop in your car, insert the key, and... nothing. The ignition lock won't budge. At NEED CAR KEYS, we understand this frustrating scenario all too well. It's a common problem, and often, the culprit is something you use every day - your car key.

The Secret Life of Your Car Key

Your trusty car key leads a tough life. Made of brass or nickel-plated metal, it's not invincible. Every time you use it, tiny bits of material wear away, especially on the cut part (we call this the "bitting"). Over time, this wear can change your key's shape, making it less effective at doing its job.

When Your Key and Ignition Fall Out of Sync

Your ignition lock is like a picky dance partner - it only works well with a key that matches its exact steps. When your key wears down, it can lead to some awkward moves:

1. The Jam: Your key might turn partway and then freeze up.
2. The Loose Wiggle: Sometimes, a worn key feels too loose, like it's swimming in the ignition.
3. The Stubborn Turn: You might need to use more force to turn a worn key, which can damage both the key and the lock.

Why You Shouldn't Ignore This Problem

At NEED CAR KEYS, we've seen the consequences of ignoring key wear:

• Security Risks: A worn key might make your car more vulnerable to theft.
• Costly Repairs: Forcing a worn key can damage your ignition, leading to expensive fixes.
• Starting Troubles: Even if you manage to turn the key, wear can affect the electrical contacts, preventing your car from starting.
