Automotive Locksmith in Northwest Indiana

Getting locked out of your vehicle or losing your only car key can disrupt your whole day. Keys4U sends insured, background-checked technicians to your location anywhere in Lake, Porter, or LaPorte county, including Highland, Hammond, Gary, Hobart, Valparaiso, and Portage. We quote the price before any work starts, and we only use our own techs, no dispatch to unknown contractors.

What we handle

Car lockouts: Unlock your vehicle without breaking a window or scratching the finish.
Transponder and chip key cutting and programming: Cut a new key blade and program the embedded chip to match your vehicle’s immobilizer.
Key fob replacement and programming: Replace a broken or lost remote fob and sync it to your car.
Spare car key duplication: Copy a working key so you have a backup before you ever need it.
Ignition issues: Diagnose a key that will not turn or an ignition cylinder that is worn or damaged.
Broken key extraction: Remove a snapped key from the ignition or door lock, taking care to protect the cylinder whenever possible.

What affects the cost of a car key

A basic cut-and-copy key is the least expensive option. Transponder programming adds labor and equipment time. Push-to-start proximity fobs are more complex and the hardware itself carries a higher parts cost. Providing your VIN and proof of ownership when you call helps us look up your vehicle ahead of time and give you an accurate quote over the phone.

Frequently asked questions

Can you make a replacement key for my car if I have no spare? +

Yes. For most vehicles we can cut and program a new key on-site using your VIN and proof of ownership, even if you have no working key to copy from.

What is a transponder key and why does it cost more? +

A transponder key contains a chip that communicates with your car's immobilizer system. Programming that chip requires specialized equipment, which adds time and cost compared to a plain metal key.

Do you work on all vehicle makes and models? +

We handle most domestic and foreign makes. Certain high-security or luxury vehicles use proprietary systems that may require a dealer visit. We will tell you upfront if your vehicle falls outside what we can program.
