Car lockouts in Pointe-aux-Trembles
Keys left on the seat, a baby or pet inside, a door that locked itself: we open without breaking glass or damaging the seal. We use an inflatable wedge to create a small gap, then a long-reach tool to press the inside button or handle.
Pointe-aux-Trembles, at the east tip of the island, has many residents working in the industrial east. Keys lost at work and cars locked by the river come up often. If a child or animal is trapped in a hot car, call 911 first: that is the absolute priority.
Lost keys, transponders and remotes — Pointe-aux-Trembles
Most modern keys have two jobs: the blade that opens the lock and the transponder chip that allows the engine to start. We handle both, whether it's a classic blade key, a remote-head key or a push-to-start smart key.
We skip the tow and the dealer's ordering delays. Our van carries the blades, blank keys and programming equipment needed for most models we see in Pointe-aux-Trembles.
Stuck ignition and broken keys — Pointe-aux-Trembles
A key that won't turn, forces or spins freely is often a worn ignition cylinder. We diagnose first: sometimes a cleaning or a properly cut new key fixes everything, sometimes the cylinder must be replaced.
If your key broke in the door or ignition, don't try to pull it out with pliers: you may push the piece deeper. We extract it with fine tools, then cut a new key from the recovered piece.
Why a locksmith rather than the dealer — Pointe-aux-Trembles
At the dealership, you usually have to bring the car in, sometimes by tow truck, and wait for an ordered part. We come to Pointe-aux-Trembles with the inventory already in the van.
You know the cost before we head out, based on make, year and key type. On site, we confirm you're the owner, a rule we apply to every vehicle.
For key programming, Serrurier Momo is registered with NASTF (National Automotive Service Task Force) as a Vehicle Security Professional (VSP). This credential gives us secure access to automakers' security information, such as key codes and immobilizer procedures, so we can remake your key in Pointe-aux-Trembles without going through the dealer.
