UK Auto Locksmith offers a cheaper alternative to buying a new seat key from the Seat dealer.
If you lose keys to your car the first thing you should do is search the place where you normally keep your keys. Some keys "drift" from their regular location and end up on a surface or under something. It is important not to give up too soon especially if you've already looked in the area several times. If you've done all of this and are still unable to find your keys, contact a locksmith in your area to get help. Locksmiths are typically cheaper than going to a dealership for replacement car keys. The locksmith will require some details about your vehicle like its VIN or key code. This will allow them to identify your car and provide the correct key for it to use.
Broken Keys
When a key breaks off inside your lock, with that stomach-curling snap, feelings of anxiety and despair pour down upon you. But before you give up take a deep breath and remember that it's not impossible to salvage your broken key. If you're lucky, you may be able to pick up the broken piece using pliers with needle noses. If not, tweezers could be able to work just fine (just be careful to do not accidentally push the broken edge further into the lock).
A great technique is to use the can WD-40(r), Smart Straw which has a smart nozzle to direct the spray into the keyhole. This will help the broken piece move out, and it can also release any binds that might be holding it in position. Try wriggling it up and down, or in and out, to break it free of whatever is causing it to become stuck.
There are many other ways that people have tried, including using a paperclip to grip the broken piece from both sides and then push it out. You can also use a drill bit. Make sure you drill through the exposed side of the key that is broken and not the lock.
Keys that are damaged Keys
Sometimes, what appears to be a major hardware problem could be just a bit of dust or grit underneath the key that prevents it from functioning properly. Most of the time, you can fix this problem yourself without needing to buy replacement parts. All you need is a prying device (something such as a credit card works best but you could use an ordinary screwdriver in a pinch) and a container that can hold the key pieces as you take them out.
You'll also need a spudger for removing stubborn dirt and grime from the grooves of the key and a Q-tip to scrub the key pad. If you are able to remove the key and other internal parts, be sure to note their positions so that you can put them back together correctly in the future.
If the key is completely broken in the ignition or the fob, a professional lock will have to repair it for you. This is because Seat uses a special 4 digit security code to program the keys to the car and they don't divulge this information to anyone, even the owners. We can get this code with a specialist tool and software and provide you with a new replacement key at a cheaper price than the dealership.
