Lost Keys
The first thing you should do if you lose your car key is to examine the location you normally keep the keys. Sometimes keys "drift" away from their usual spot and end on the floor or underneath something. It is vital not to give up too soon especially if the location has been searched multiple times. If you've attempted all of this but are still unable to find your keys, contact an area locksmith for assistance. Locksmiths can be cheaper than dealerships for replacement keys for cars. The locksmith will need details about your car like its VIN or key code number. This will allow them to identify your vehicle and give the correct key for it to use.
Broken Keys
When a broken key appears in your lock and you feel that stomach-curling snap, feelings of fear and despair descend upon you. Take a deep breath before you give up. It's not impossible. If you're lucky you might be able to pick up the broken piece with an pliers-needle pair. If not, tweezers be just as effective (just be careful not to push the damaged edge further into the lock).
A great tip is to use a container of WD-40(r) Smart Straw with the smart nozzle, and spray directly into the keyhole to lubricate it. This can allow the broken piece to slide out and also break any binds that is holding it back. Try moving it up and down or in and out, in order to break it free from whatever is causing it to become stuck.
Other approaches have been tried by people, such as using paperclips on both sides to grasp the broken piece and pull it out. You can also use a drill bit, however, make sure to drill the hole into the exposed side of the damaged part of the key, not the lock itself.
Keys that are damaged Keys
Sometimes, what appears to be an issue with hardware could be just a little grit and dust under the key that prevents it from functioning correctly. Often, you can fix this problem yourself without needing to buy replacement parts. You'll require a prying tool made of plastic (a credit card is the best however a flathead screwdriver can be used in an emergency) and a container that can be used to store the essential pieces while you remove them.
You'll also need an spudger to remove the stubborn dirt and grime, and an Q tip to clean the keypad. If you can remove the key and its internal components ensure that you record their positions so that you can restore them in the correct order later.
If the key is totally damaged in the ignition or fob, you will require a professional locksmith in your car repair it for you. This is because Seat uses a special 4 digit security code to program the keys to the car and they don't provide this information to anyone else, even the owners. We can get this code using a specialized tool and software, and provide you with a new replacement key at a less cost than the dealership.
