Replacement Car Key Service in Milton Keynes
Are you having trouble with your Nissan car key that is stuck in the ignition? If so, worry not. At Brinnick Locksmiths, we are on hand to help you resolve the problem and get you driving again with a working ignition lock.
It might surprise you to know that a stuck car key is a common problem with some cars, and it seems to particularly affect some models of Nissan. For example, the Nissan Qashqai, Micra, Note and Navara are particularly often affected by this problem. However, it can affect all makes and models of cars. The good news is that we are ready to help you, whether you are at home or out and about.
The problem is the car key becoming stuck in the lock. The common difficulty is when the driver can insert the key into the ignition and start the engine, but the key becomes difficult to remove. In some cases, it is completely impossible to pull the stuck key from the ignition of your Nissan car. Sometimes the problem develops over time, and you might notice that it is increasingly hard to remove the key, but in other cases, the problem can seem to develop quite suddenly.
If you are stuck somewhere and need a quick fix, try wiggling the key up and down whilst continually pulling gently. This should release the key. However, we recommend that you contact us for a proper repair before a minor issue becomes a significant problem.
What is causing the problem? On the inside of the ignition, there is a steering lock release block and over time this wears down unevenly. This creates sharp edges that cause the lock to grab the key when attempting to remove it.
