Worn ignition barrels are common on Toyota, VW, Ford and Hyundai vehicles after 100,000+ km. Towing to a dealer for an ignition fix is rarely necessary — our mobile auto-locksmiths repair or replace barrels in driveways across Midrand. For wider coverage across the region, see our Midrand locksmith homepage or jump to a specific suburb like Kyalami, Waterfall or Halfway House.
Common ignition failures
Key won't insert fully, won't turn, gets stuck in 'on', or the steering lock seizes. Most can be repaired without replacing the whole barrel.
Barrel replacement
When wear is severe we replace the barrel and re-pair the new lockset to your existing keys where possible.
