A technician will skillfully defrost the locks without damaging them.

Car key is bent

A bent car key is likely to break in your ignition or door lock and cause additional problems.

Car key is broken

When your car key breaks, it is never a good idea to attempt gluing the pieces together. No matter how neatly you fix them, the key will break again, and most likely inside the ignition or lock.

Car locks are quite delicate, and applying even the slightest force can cause significant damage. When your car key sticks halfway into the lock, either the key or the lock could be faulty.
