Lost Keys
If you've lost keys to your car the first thing you need to do is check the location where you normally keep them. Some keys "drift" from their regular spot and end up on the floor or under something. It is important to not give up too soon especially if the location has been searched multiple times. If you've done all of this and still aren't able to locate your keys, contact a locksmith in your area to get help. Locksmiths are often cheaper than dealerships for replacement of car keys. The locksmith will require information about your vehicle such as the VIN or the key code number. This information will enable the locksmith to identify your vehicle and give you the correct key to open it.
Broken Keys
If a key is broken inside your lock, with that stomach-curling snap, feelings of dread and despair fall on you. But before you give up, take a deep breath and be aware that it's possible to recover your broken key. If you're lucky, there may still be a bit of the broken piece that you can pick it with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, tweezers will work just as well (just be careful not to accidentally push the broken edge further into the lock).
One excellent trick is to make use of a can of WD-40(r) Smart Straw with the smart nozzle, and spray directly through the keyhole to grease it. This will allow the damaged piece slide off and also loosen up any binds that may be holding it in position. You can try to wiggle it up and down, or in and out, in order to let it loose from whatever is causing it to be stuck.
There are several other methods that have been tried by people like using a paperclip to hold the broken piece from both sides and then push it out. You can also try a drill, but make sure you drill the hole through the exposed side of the broken part of the key and not the lock the lock itself.
Damaged Keys
Often, what appears to be a major hardware problem is really just a little bit of dust or grit that has settled under the key, which is stopping it from working properly. You can often solve this yourself, without the necessity of replacing parts. All you need is a prying device (something like a credit card is ideal, but you can also use a flathead screwdriver if you are in a pinch) and a container that can hold the pieces of the key while you remove them.
You'll also require the use of a spudger to get rid of tough dirt and grime as well as a Q tip for cleaning the keypad. If you are able to remove the key and its internal components, make sure you note their location to ensure 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 automotive lock will have to repair it for you. Seat utilizes a four-digit security code when programming keys for the car.
