About this service
A faulty ignition cylinder can leave you unable to start your car, turn accessories on and off, or remove the key after parking. Alpha Locks and Safe provides ignition repair and replacement service across Westchester County, handling everything from stuck or jammed cylinders to full ignition switch replacements — all done at your location by a mobile locksmith.
Ignition problems often develop gradually: the key feels stiff when turning, the cylinder only engages at a certain angle, or the steering wheel lock binds. Ignoring these signs can lead to a complete failure at the worst time. Our technicians diagnose the issue on-site, determine whether a repair, re-pin, or full replacement is needed, and carry the parts and tools to complete the job without a tow to the dealer.
We work with most domestic and import makes and models, including vehicles with transponder-integrated ignitions. When a new cylinder is installed, we can key it to match your existing doors and trunk — so you keep a single key for the entire vehicle. Every job includes a clear upfront quote, and we back our work with a service guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my ignition needs repair or replacement?
Common signs include difficulty turning the key, the key getting stuck, the engine not starting even though the battery is fine, or the steering wheel locking up unexpectedly. Our technician will diagnose the issue on site and recommend the most cost-effective fix.
Can you repair an ignition on site or does the car need to be towed?
We repair and replace ignitions on site. Our mobile locksmith vans carry ignition cylinders, keys, and programming equipment for most makes and models — no towing needed.
Will I get new keys with an ignition replacement?
Yes. When we replace an ignition cylinder we cut and program new keys to match. You'll receive two working keys with every ignition replacement.
How long does ignition repair take?
Most ignition repairs take 30–60 minutes. A full ignition replacement with key programming typically takes 60–90 minutes, depending on the vehicle.
How much does ignition repair or replacement cost?
Ignition repair and replacement starts at $195 and can range up to $2,000 for high-security vehicles with advanced anti-theft systems. We provide an exact quote before beginning work.

Dor did everything to ensure that the car was opened. He was fast and courteous, even though I was initially frustrated and irate. He was calm and polite. Couldn't have gotten a better technician.
Excellent service! Called them after getting locked out of my car at 11pm. They arrived in about 20 minutes and got me back in quickly. Very professional and fair pricing.
