Ignition & Steering Lock Repair FAQs
Find answers to common questions about ignition barrel repairs, steering lock problems, broken key extraction and our mobile automotive services across London and Southeast England.
What are the signs of a faulty ignition barrel?
Common signs of an ignition barrel problem include a key that will not turn, a key becoming stuck in the ignition, difficulty starting the vehicle or an ignition that feels stiff or worn. The exact cause should be properly diagnosed, as similar symptoms can sometimes be caused by other ignition or steering lock components.
Can you repair an ignition barrel instead of replacing it?
In some cases, yes. Depending on the condition and type of ignition barrel, it may be possible to rebuild or repair the existing unit. Where suitable, we can rebuild an ignition barrel to work with your existing vehicle key, potentially avoiding the need for a complete replacement.
My car key won't turn in the ignition. What should I do?
Avoid applying excessive force, as this could damage or break the key inside the ignition barrel. A key that will not turn can be caused by a worn ignition barrel, steering lock issue, damaged key or another ignition system fault. Contact Mr Ignition for professional diagnosis and assistance.
Can you remove a broken key from an ignition barrel?
Yes. We provide broken car key extraction services for keys that have snapped or become stuck inside an ignition barrel or vehicle lock. Specialist tools and techniques are used to remove the broken key while reducing the risk of further damage to the lock or ignition.

Depending on the vehicle and fault, a correctly programmed emulator may be used as an alternative solution for a failed steering lock. Compatibility must be confirmed for the specific vehicle.
