Welcome to our local Lincoln site. Over the last three years we’ve completed nearly one thousand Nissan Lock Repair jobs. However if you’re nowhere near us in Lincoln don’t worry. From our workshop we post out expertly repaired Nissan ignitions all over the UK and even Europe.
So now that you’ve found our website we’d like to answer a few questions that we’re asked regularly, and we hope these will help you.
‘I had the classic Nissan ignition barrel problem, drove all the way from Swindon to get the problem fixed.
Apart from the fact it was a 3hr drive it was cheaper than getting a local garage to fix it and to be honest, this was the only company I found that was actually interested in helping which is why I would recommend them to anyone who needs help‘….Mike salmon
Frequently Asked Nissan Lock Repair Questions
All the best bits of info
How do you fix the lock?
It’s old fashioned but instead of just throwing away the complete lock and starting again, we re-use the bulk of your lock. To be honest, most of the lock is ok, and good enough to be re-used for the Nissan Lock repair. So we replace all the parts that are showing wear.
Do I get new keys?
No. If we did you new keys, then you’d need to get them programmed. However, we do new key blades. The blades are held in place with a small screw. The blades can be easily changed, and this means that you won’t need to pay for any expensive key programming.
How much does the Nissan Lock Repair cost?
Three options here, starting with the cheapest.
Option One. You drive to us, we put your car into our workshop for about an hour, and do everything for you. This includes removing the lock, cutting the new blades, replacing the worn parts and re-fitting. We’re ten minutes away from the main shops with several cafes nearby. This service costs £170 inc VAT
“Absolutely great service from the first communication to driving the car away with a refurbished ignition barrel and new keys. A very professional and quick service.
Thank you“..H Churman
I’m not anywhere near Lincoln
Don’t worry, we can still help
Option Two. If you live too far away, we can still help you. If you take off the lock ( or ask a garage to do this for you ), then send it to us, we’ll do the rest. We’ll send it back all ready to be refitted, plus we send you two special shear-head bolts and two new key blades. This service costs just £180 inc Vat, which is the same as option one, plus special delivery postage back.
The downside of this option is that your car will be parked up and unusable while we work on your lock. If you can’t spare the car, then you need option three.
Option Three. If you live too far away and can’t be without your car for long, we can still help. We can send you a refurbished lock, especially built to match the car key you already have. You can then fit the lock, or book it it into a garage, and be up and running the same day.
This option costs £280 initially, but you get £100 returned to you later. All we ask is that you to send us your old faulty lock. Once we have it, we’ll call you and refund £100. So this option costs the same as option Two.
A Few More Questions
All the ones that make it easy
How soon can I get a lock sent to me?
If we take your order before 1000, we can normally post out your order on the same day. This doesn’t always happen, but we try our best.
I have a few more questions, can I call you?
Please do. Our number in 01522 514141. We’ll do our best to answer your questions.
Where do I send my old lock to so you can fix it?
The address is as follows
The Car Key Man, 59 Chieftain Way, Tritton Rd, Lincoln. LN6 7RY
How should I send the lock?
We always send ours our Royal Mail Special Delivery. It costs about £10. Other people swear by Hermes and we’ve never had any issues with locks going missing, using either carriers.
How do I need to pack it?
Either in a box, or a Jiffy bag. Remember that it will be thrown about during delivery so the more securely it’s packed, the better for all of us. Bubble wrap and tape are the main thing!
Do I get a Guarantee?
Yes. Every lock we repair comes with a years warranty. However, in the three years we’ve been fixing these we’ve been really pleased with the quality of the repair. If there had been problems, we’d have heard about it, let’s face it, this is the internet!

Please help as I am mobility impaired with a key atuck in the ignition barrel, to explain I was sold a car locally unknowingly to me at the time with a ignition barrel lock problem, The Nissan garage took six months & my local garage owners phone call to presueise them for them to admit they needed to accept liability…Lorraine Drummond the warrenty manager was then happy to lie to me while one of there mobility impaired customers (me) had the anxiety that I would be stuck every time I stopped the car…six months latter my car wouldnt lock and I couldnt go anywhere…this is when I went to another nissan garage that informed me the last new barrel lock had gone that there were no more that would be made or could be cut for my car and I would have to find a second hand barrel and fitting would cost me £750….they informed me that Lorraine had lied to me & could of got me a new ignition barrel cut via the company Nissan use in two days but obciously plays god and has it in for the companies disabled customers. Thankfully another Nissan garage service manager said it was terrible how the warrenty manager at the garage I bought the car from in the same group sold me the car was treating there disabled chronically ill customer… hanging on in great anxiety that I would end up stuck somewhere in the dark for over a year…he was kind enough to help & managed to fit a second hand nissan note lock i found and I had two keys cut 2 months ago…now the Key is stuck in the lock rattling in it but thankfully still starting & turning off the engine & due to the door locks useing the old fob the central locking still works…so I am wondering if I can still drive to essential therapy appointments and not get stuck until you can send me another barrel lock with keys and I can send you the existing barrel fitted or you can give me a time frame to repair the cars origional ignition barrel of a nissan note thats only covered 36,000 miles….I look dorward to hearing from you shortly and can telephone you tomorrow.
