Car lockouts
Keys on the seat, in the ignition, or in the trunk. We open the door with lockout tools made for car doors, not a coat hanger.

What we do
What can a car locksmith fix on the spot?
Most of it. The van carries key blanks, a key cutter and the programming gear, so most jobs around Kapolei start and end in one visit.
Car key replacement
No key left to copy? We cut a new one from the car itself and program it before we leave, so it starts the engine, not just opens the door.
Spare keys
Down to one key? A spare costs far less to make now than a replacement does after the last one goes missing.
Transponder programming
Most cars from the late 1990s on have a chip in the key head. If the chip isn't paired to the car, the key turns but the engine won't start.
Smart keys and fobs
Proximity fobs and remote-head keys, cut where needed and paired to the car through its diagnostic port.
Ignition repair and replacement
A key that won't turn, a cylinder that spins, or a key snapped off inside. We repair the cylinder or replace it.
How it works
From the call to driving away
Three steps. The price comes before the work, every time.
Make, model, year
That tells us which blank and which programmer to load. Push-to-start or turn key? Say that too.
Price on the phone
You hear the number before we drive out. If the car needs a part only the dealer sells, we say so on that call.
Key made at the car
We cut and program it on the spot, then you test it. Doors, trunk and engine.
Locksmith or dealer
Mobile car locksmith or the dealership?
Both can make you a key. The difference is where the work happens and what it takes to get the car there.

Locked out right now
Locked out of your car in Kapolei? Do this first.
Stay near the car and call us with three things: where it's parked, the make, model and year, and whether it's a turn key or push-to-start. A store name works for the location, like a row at Ka Makana Ali'i, the Regal lot at Kapolei Commons, or a resort parking lot in Ko Olina. On the leeward side the sun bakes a closed car fast, so don't wait it out with the windows up. Keep your phone on. We'll call when the van is close, open the door, and if the key is lost too, make the new one right there.

Car key FAQ
Car locksmith questions
Quick answers. The phone is faster for anything specific to your car.
A standard car lockout in Kapolei starts at $150. New car keys start at $135, and the exact price depends on the make, model and year. You get that number on the phone before we drive out.
Yes. We cut a copy and program its chip or remote to the car, so the spare starts the engine the same way your original does.
Often the car isn't reading the chip in the key, so it won't let the engine run. A worn ignition cylinder or a weak battery can look similar. We check the key and the ignition and tell you which it is.
Usually, yes. On many cars we open a door first and release the trunk from inside. If that won't work on your model, we go in through the trunk lock itself.
We use lockout tools built for car doors and work carefully around the paint and the weather seal. If your car needs a different approach, we explain it before we start.
