Ignition failure stops your day instantly. Whether your key refuses to turn, has snapped off inside the lock, or the engine simply won’t crank, Safe & Secure Locksmith fixes the problem on the spot.
Common Ignition Issues We Fix in Abbotsford
If you are stuck in Abbotsford with any of these symptoms, our mobile technicians can diagnose and fix the issue today:
Key Won’t Turn: The key goes in but the cylinder feels “frozen” or jammed (common in Honda, Toyota, and GM vehicles).

Car Won’t Start: The lights come on, but the engine is silent (often a worn ignition switch).
Push-to-Start Failures: Key fob is not recognized, or the start button is unresponsive.
