Locksmith Tips
- If a key breaks in the lock, leave the piece in and call us rather than digging at it.
- Note where you are parked — a cross street or landmark helps us find you fast.
- Stay with the vehicle if it is safe to do so.
- Keep a spare somewhere other than the car itself.
What We Take Care Of
- Transponder chips programmed so the spare actually starts the car
- Valet keys that open the doors but not the trunk or glovebox, where available
- Cars, SUVs, vans and pickups — we come to all of them
- Several spares at once for family members and fleets
- Honest advice on repairing versus replacing
- Most makes and models, from basic metal keys to push-to-start smart keys
No Surprise Fees
No two jobs are identical, which is why we quote each one on the phone first. The main factors:
- Whether the key needs programming as well as cutting
- The type of key being copied (basic, transponder, remote-head or smart key)
- How many spares you want
Having the year, make and model ready helps us quote even faster. If anything changes once we see the job, we tell you before doing it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you serve West Hempstead?
Yes — West Hempstead, NY 11552 is part of our regular service area, along with the rest of Nassau County.
Will a hardware-store copy start my car?
Usually not. Most cars since the late 1990s need a programmed transponder chip, which a plain cut copy doesn't have.
How long have you been in business?
Since 2001. Car Key Locksmith is based in Hewlett, NY, and has served drivers across Long Island and Queens for more than two decades.
Do you repair ignitions?
Yes — ignition repair and replacement, including Honda and Acura ignitions that wear out and stop turning.
Do you offer same day auto key copy in West Hempstead 24/7?
Yes. Our 24 Hour Emergency line is answered day and night, including holidays, and we cover all of West Hempstead, NY 11552. Call (516) 750-0433.
Why get a spare before I lose my key?
Adding a key while you still have one is far simpler and cheaper than an all-keys-lost replacement — often a fraction of the cost.
Can you make a spare key at the same visit?
Yes, and it is the best time to do it — a spare made now costs far less than an emergency replacement later.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed locksmith in New York State, every technician is insured, and we verify ownership before every job.
