Locksmith services for travelers at PHL
Lost car keys
If you cannot find your car key after a trip, we can often originate a replacement key on-site for most domestic and import vehicles. You’ll need your driver’s license and vehicle registration for us to verify ownership before we cut or program a key.
Broken car keys
A key that snapped in the ignition, in a door lock, or in your hand can leave you unable to drive. We extract broken key pieces and cut a fresh working key so you can head home instead of waiting for a tow.
Key fob issues
Fob buttons that stopped responding, a fob that won’t start the car, or a fob with a dead battery discovered after a long trip — we replace batteries, reprogram fobs, and pair replacement fobs on-site for many makes and models.
Spare or duplicate car keys
If you have a working key and want a duplicate cut before your next trip — whether at your Philadelphia address or arranged around a PHL pickup — we can cut a spare and program it for transponder-equipped vehicles. Call to confirm compatibility with your make, model, and year.
What to have ready when you call
- Vehicle location — parking lot letter or name, aisle or row if you know it, and any visible landmarks.
- Vehicle details — year, make, model, and whether the key is a traditional cut key, transponder key, or push-to-start smart key.
- Photo ID — driver’s license or state ID.
- Vehicle registration — required before we cut or program a new key.
