A damaged or fatigued key may break while starting the vehicle or being removed from the ignition.
Boot Lock
Older vehicles and some vans may use a separate mechanical boot lock where a damaged key can become trapped.

Can a Broken Car Key Be Replaced?
In many situations, yes.
Once the broken fragment has been removed, the next step depends on the type of key and condition of the original.
For supported vehicles, a replacement may involve:
- cutting a new mechanical blade
- supplying a replacement transponder key
- programming the key to the immobiliser
- supplying and programming a new remote key fob
- assessing the existing key electronics
- creating an additional spare key
If the electronic section of the original key is still working, different replacement options may be available compared with an All Keys Lost situation.
Broken Key in the Ignition
A key broken inside the ignition requires particular care because the ignition barrel may already be worn or damaged.
No Key Do Key can assess whether the fragment can be safely removed and whether the ignition appears to be operating correctly afterwards.
If the ignition remains stiff or faulty, further repair may be required before a replacement key is used regularly.
Broken Key in the Door Lock
If a key snaps inside a vehicle door lock, the fragment may sometimes be accessible using specialist extraction techniques.
The method depends on:
- how far the key is inserted
- the shape of the broken edge
- the condition of the lock
- whether the lock is seized
- whether anyone has already attempted removal
Where practical, we aim to remove the fragment without unnecessarily damaging the lock mechanism.
