Cadillac Keys Replacement

If you lost your keys or your fob has stopped working, you’re on the search for reliable, affordable Cadillac key replacement. But you have a few questions about the best way to get your new set.

Here at Advanced Lock and Key in Cleveland Ohio, we deal with a lot of Cadillac keys, and we’re here to answer all your questions about cutting, repairing, reprogramming, and more.

Here are some of the most common questions we get!

Why don’t all auto locksmiths work with Cadillac?

It might surprise you to find out that not all auto locksmiths offer Cadillac key replacement. After all, this is a reliable, popular American brand that’s been around for decades! You would think it would be simple to get your keys replaced. 

Here are a few reasons why an auto locksmith may not offer key replacement for Cadillac:

  • They don’t have the machine for high security keys. Most Cadillac cars come with a high security key that can only be duplicated with a specialized machine. Many auto locksmiths have this, but not all!
  • They don’t have a key reprogramming machine. Aside from a high security key cutting machine, most modern Cadillacs will require key programming. A key programming machine is a device that connects to your car’s operating system in order to introduce new keys. These machines can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, which is a large investment for many auto locksmiths.

They do have a key reprogramming machine but it doesn’t have the software for Cadillac. Smaller auto locksmiths will often opt for a more basic key programming machine, but that means that they may not be able to work with a wide range of car manufacturers.

What does Cadillac key replacement entail?

When you do find an auto locksmith that works with Cadillac keys, like our team here at Advanced Lock and Key, you might be wondering what the replacement process looks like. Here’s a rundown:

  • We’ll ask you for your VIN number and car model. This will allow us to verify ownership as well as find the right blank key or fob for your Cadillac.
  • If we don’t have your key or fob in our inventory, we’ll put in an order. Here at Advanced Lock and Key, we have an extensive inventory of blank keys and fobs. If we don’t happen to have your particular model in stock, we’ll order the right one fast to give you minimal wait time. 
  • If it’s a manual key, we’ll get it cut and delivered to you fast. Manual keys and transponder keys are some of the easiest to duplicate, which means that we can have your new set to you in no time.
  • If your new key requires programming, we’ll bring our equipment to you. No matter where you are in the Cleveland area, including surrounding cities like Beachwood, Avon Lake, Painesville or Shaker Heights, we’ll come to you for your car key reprogramming.  

Does my fob really need to be replaced?

If you’re experiencing problems with your fob, there is a possibility that it can be repaired instead of replaced. This would be the case if your fob battery has run out or the device has been damaged in some way. Our skilled technicians will take a look and repair your fob if possible to save you the expense of buying a new one.

Can I replace my Cadillac keys on my own?

There are a few reasons why we always recommend that our clients allow us to oversee the entire replacement process:

  • We know that we’re ordering the right key. Sometimes clients will try to save money by ordering a blank on their own and bringing it to an auto locksmith for programming. This is risky because knowing exactly what kind of blank key or fob is compatible with your Cadillac can be complicated. With our experience with Cadillac key replacement, we can find the right replacement at the best price.

You’ll need a pro to cut and reprogram the new key. Even if you’re able to buy a cheap blank key of fob online, you’ll still need a professional to cut it and reprogram it.

What should I do about trunk or glove compartment lockouts?

Locked out of the trunk or glove compartment of your Cadillac? There may be an issue with the lock or release mechanism that’s preventing you from accessing this part of your car. 

We can take a look at the lock on your glove compartment or trunk to regain you access!

My keys were stolen. What now?

Maybe your purse was stolen with your keys inside or you’ve lost your keys and are worried about them ending up in the wrong hands. In this case, you want to take the appropriate steps to prevent a possible car theft.

If your Cadillac uses a modern fob or transponder key, the good news is, we can retire any old fobs or keys in order restore the security of your car. 

If your Cadillac uses manual keys, on the other hand, we may need to change the locks and ignition cylinder in order to ensure that your new set is the only one that can be used to open the car and start the ignition.

What should I do if I broke the key off in the lock

Breaking your key off in the lock, ignition, glove compartment or trunk can be quite the unpleasant surprise! But we always recommend that you don’t attempt to take the key fragments out yourself! This could damage the cylinder and require more costly locksmith services. Instead, give us a call so that we can safely extract the key and provide you with your Cadillac key replacement on site.

I lost my only copy of a mailbox key and was panicking. Advanced Lock and Key didn’t just pick the lock—they made me a brand new key and saved me from replacing the whole thing. They also gave me new fobs for my car that my ex had an old fab of. Extremely impressed with their precision and pricing.
