Auto locksmith services in Boca Raton

If you’re locked out of your car or need a replacement key in Boca Raton, you don’t have to get it towed to a dealership. Sunshine State Lock and Key provides mobile auto locksmith services with a guaranteed 15-minute response time. We come to wherever your vehicle is — parking lot, driveway, roadside on I-95, or a shopping center in Delray Beach. Fully licensed, bonded, and insured in compliance with Florida regulations.

Our service vans carry transponder programming equipment, laser-cut key machines, and high-quality key blanks for most makes and models.

 

Car lockout service

Getting locked out of your car can happen anywhere. At a gas station on A1A, outside a restaurant in Boca, or in a parking garage in Fort Lauderdale. We dispatch a technician within 15 minutes across Palm Beach County and Broward County to get you back in.

Our locksmiths use non-destructive entry methods to open your vehicle without scratching the paint or damaging the door. We work on standard locks, electronic locks, and push-to-start systems. No tow truck needed.

Car key replacement and duplications

Lost your only car key? A lot of people think they have to call the dealership and wait 3 to 5 days for a replacement. That’s not the case. We use VIN-to-key software and specialized cutters to generate a brand new key on-site, even if you don’t have the original.

We cut and program standard keys, transponder keys, smart keys, and laser-cut keys for most domestic and foreign vehicles. If you bought a used car with only one key, getting a spare now saves you a lot of money compared to a total lockout later.

Service available across Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Deerfield Beach, and the rest of Palm Beach County and Broward County.

Transponder key and smart key programming

Most cars built after 2000 use a transponder chip inside the key that communicates with the vehicle’s computer. If the chip and the car stop talking to each other, the engine won’t start even if the key turns on the ignition. We program and reprogram transponder keys and smart keys on-site.

We also service high-end European vehicles including BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. These require specialized EEPROM programming that most standard locksmiths can’t do. Our technicians carry the tools and software to handle these brands in Boca Raton, Coral Springs, Parkland, and across South Florida.

Ignition cylinder repair and replacement

In Florida’s heat, the internal wafers of an ignition cylinder wear down faster than they would in cooler climates. The key might go in but refuse to turn, or the cylinder could jam completely. Either way, you’re stranded even with a working key in your hand.

We repair and replace ignition cylinders on-site for most makes and models. We also handle situations where the ignition has been damaged by a break-in attempt. Service available in Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, Coconut Creek, and across Palm Beach County and Broward County.

Broken key extraction from car locks

Keys snap off in car door locks and trunk locks more often then you might think. Metal fatigue builds up over time, especially on older models and work trucks, and the key breaks with a piece stuck inside.

We carry specialized extraction tools that pull the broken fragment out without damaging the lock cylinder. In most cases, you won’t need a full lock replacement after the extraction.

Key fob battery and shell replacement

If your key fob buttons stopped working but the car still starts, it’s usually a dead battery or a cracked shell. That’s a quick and affordable fix. We replace fob batteries and damaged plastic casings on-site so you don’t have to order parts and wait for shipping.
