How does it work in Baltimore?
Losing every key is called an all-keys-lost job. Without a working key to copy, we cut the blade from the vehicle's key code or by decoding the lock, then program a new key to the immobilizer. For most makes it is still a one-visit job at the car.
If the key might have been stolen rather than lost, ask us to erase the old keys from the car where the system allows, so the missing key no longer starts it.
What are the steps?
-
Call and tell us what is lost
All keys, or just one? Year, make, and model, and where the car is.
-
Quote and arrival window
You hear the price and a realistic arrival window before we head out.
-
Verify ownership
ID plus registration or title. If the paperwork is locked inside, we open the car first.
-
Cut from code and program
A new key is cut and programmed to the car, and lost keys are erased where possible.
What should you have ready?
- Photo ID. A driver's license or other photo ID that matches the registration or title.
- Registration or title. Proof the vehicle is yours. The registration card in the glovebox works once we open the car.
- The VIN. The 17-character vehicle identification number, on the registration, insurance card, or the lower driver-side windshield.
- Exact location. Street address, garage name and level, or the lot and row, so the van comes straight to the car.
Vehicles we commonly handle

- Honda Accord and CR-V
- Ford F-150
- Chevrolet Silverado and Tahoe
- Nissan Altima and Rogue

Lost car keys in Baltimore: questions
I lost all my car keys in Baltimore. What should I do first?
Retrace your steps quickly, then call 410-560-5940 with the year, make, and model and where the car is. We can make a new key on-site for most makes.
Can a lost car key be erased so it no longer starts my car?
On many cars, yes. We remove the lost key from the car's memory while programming the new one.
Who can make a car key without the original near Baltimore?
Mega Lock And Key does it on-site for most makes across Baltimore City and the surrounding counties.
My registration is locked inside the car. Is that a problem?
No. We open the car without damage first, then verify the paperwork before making the key.
Should I make a spare while you are here?
Yes. Adding a spare during the same visit is much simpler than another all-keys-lost job later.
