Classic Car Key Making & Replacement

Key Blanks for Vintage and Classic Vehicles

Classic and vintage vehicles often need key blanks that are no longer stocked at standard hardware stores or dealerships. LockAngeles carries a wide selection of traditional key blanks for vehicles dating back decades, and can cut keys by code or by impression from the existing lock.

Cutting by code means working from the original manufacturer key code when it's known. Cutting by impression means working directly from the lock itself, reading the wear pattern on a blank inserted into the cylinder, which is often the only option once the original paperwork and code are long gone.

Cutting Keys That Match Worn Locks

Whether you have a 1960s muscle car, a vintage European import, or a classic American truck, we have the experience to identify and cut the correct key for your vehicle's locks and ignition.

Unlike modern transponder keys, many classic vehicles use simple mechanical keys — but cutting them correctly to match worn lock cylinders takes skill and the right blank, and we take the time to do it right. A key cut to factory spec often won't turn smoothly in a cylinder that's seen fifty years of use, so we fit the cut to the actual lock, not just the code.

Ignition and Door Lock Service

We also service ignition cylinders and door locks on classic vehicles that have become worn over time, including sticky ignitions, loose door cylinders, and trunk locks that no longer turn cleanly. Call us to discuss your specific year and model before scheduling.
