Car Key Replacement

Get Back on the Road Today

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 cuts and programs replacement car keys on-site in Albuquerque for standard, transponder, and smart key systems.

You reach for your car key in Albuquerque and realize it is gone, or you turn it in the ignition and the blade snaps off inside the lock. Dealerships often require proof of ownership, vehicle identification number lookups, and appointments that stretch days into the future. Towing your car to a service center adds cost and inconvenience, especially when the only thing standing between you and your vehicle is a missing or broken key.

Lock Around the Clock 24/7 eliminates those delays by bringing key cutting and programming equipment directly to your location in Albuquerque. We work with standard metal keys, transponder keys that communicate with your vehicle's immobilizer, and smart keys that unlock doors and start engines with the press of a button. Our mobile service supports most vehicle makes and models, and we complete the work on-site so you can drive away the same day without towing or dealership visits.

If you need a replacement car key in Albuquerque today, reach out to Lock Around the Clock 24/7 to schedule same-day mobile service.

Cutting and Programming Happen at Your Location

We arrive with a key cutting machine, blank keys, and programming tools designed to handle everything from older mechanical keys to modern encrypted smart keys in Albuquerque. After verifying your ownership, we cut a new blade to match your vehicle's lock or door code. For transponder and smart keys, we connect to your vehicle's onboard computer and program the new key to communicate with the immobilizer and ignition system.

Once programming is complete, the new key will unlock your doors, start your engine, and function exactly like the original. You will not notice any difference in how the key operates, and your vehicle will recognize it immediately. If you have a spare key that still works, we can clone its programming to speed up the process.

We carry a wide range of key blanks and have access to key codes for most makes and models. Some luxury or high-security vehicles require additional programming steps that take longer, but we will confirm timing and compatibility before starting the work. This is a direct-pay service with no insurance billing delays.

Most people have similar questions before we arrive

Drivers who need replacement keys usually want to know how long the process takes, whether their vehicle is compatible, and what information they need to provide. These are the questions we hear most often before scheduling mobile service.

What do I need to provide for key replacement?
You need proof of ownership such as a registration or title, a valid ID, and your vehicle identification number. Lock Around the Clock 24/7 will verify this information before cutting or programming the new key.
How long does it take to replace a car key on-site?
Standard and transponder keys are usually cut and programmed within 30 to 45 minutes in Albuquerque. Smart keys and high-security systems may take longer depending on the programming requirements for your specific vehicle.
Can you make a key if I lost all my originals?
Yes. Lock Around the Clock 24/7 can originate a new key using your vehicle's door lock or ignition code, even if you have no working keys. Programming will take longer, but the process does not require an original key.
What types of keys can you replace?
We replace standard metal keys, transponder keys with embedded chips, and smart keys that use push-button start and remote functions. Compatibility depends on your vehicle's make, model, and year.
Will my old key still work after you make a new one?
Yes. Programming a new key does not disable existing keys unless you specifically request that we deactivate lost or stolen keys for security reasons.
