If you lost your only motorcycle key do not worry. We can make a replacement on the spot without towing your bike.
MLine Locksmith provides mobile motorcycle replacement services throughout the Main Line area, including Devon, Wayne, Berwyn, Malvern, Paoli and Villanova. We will come to you whether you are in your driveway, a parking lot or on the side of the road. We will. Program the replacement key on site.
The main reason to call us is that dealers can replace motorcycle keys but the process usually requires scheduling an appointment waiting days for parts and in many cases towing the bike in yourself. This is expensive and inconvenient when you just need to get on the road.
We come to you. Whether you are stranded in a parking garage in Wayne or locked out of your garage in Malvern we will bring the cutting and programming equipment to you. In cases no tow truck is needed and we offer same-day service during our operating hours.
Lost keys with no spare: this is the stressful scenario, but also the most common call we receive. Even if you have lost your key and have no backup we can create a replacement by decoding the lock or retrieving the key code from the motorcycle. You do not need the key for us to make a new one.
Broken key in the ignition: keys weaken over time. Motorcycle ignitions undergo significant wear. If the key snapped off inside the cylinder the first step is extracting the key before cutting a replacement. We handle both on the visit.
If your ignition has started to feel stiff or the key occasionally does not turn smoothly the key is probably worn down: Replacing it before it fails completely is cheaper than dealing with an ignition repair.
If your keys are stolen, replacing them is half the solution: If someone stole your keys and knows where your bike is we will talk about rekeying or replacing the ignition cylinder to ensure that the old key can not be used.
The answer to this question determines what the service involves.
Older motorcycles, pre-2000 typically use simple mechanical keys with no electronic component. Key cutting is usually straightforward. No programming is needed.
Modern motorcycles with transponder systems have an immobilizer chip in the key that communicates with the ECU. The key must be physically cut and electronically programmed; otherwise the engine will not start even if the key turns.
Premium and late-model bikes with key systems require more advanced diagnostics and programming procedures.
If you are not sure which category your motorcycle falls into, call us with the make, model and year. We will tell you upfront what is involved.
We service replacement for a wide range of brands and models:
Note: Not every locksmith has the equipment to program Harley-Davidsons security systems. We do. If you ride a Harley and need a replacement key we are familiar with the HANA system. Know how to properly register a new key.
Availability varies by model year and security system. Call us with your VIN or model details. We will confirm what we can do before coming out.
– Standard mechanical keys: no chip or programming required. We cut them to the profile for your ignition, lock and storage compartments.
– Transponder keys: cut and programmed to pair with your motorcycles immobilizer. Without programming the bike will not start.
– Laser-cut keys: high-security key profiles used by some manufacturers. They require cutting equipment that standard hardware stores do not carry.
Smart and proximity keys are used on premium models. They require diagnostics and advanced programming. We will confirm compatibility before the visit.
Motorcycle Key Duplication: if you have a working key and want a spare duplication is the straightforward option. It costs less than a replacement and takes less time.
Many riders put this off until they are in an emergency. The better move is to get a made while you still have the original. It is cheaper and faster. It ensures that you will never be completely stranded.
Key duplication services are available for both transponder motorcycle keys depending on the model.
Sometimes the problem is not the key. If the ignition cylinder’s worn has broken wafers or was damaged during an attempted theft a new key alone will not solve the problem.
In those cases we determine whether the issue is the key, the cylinder or both and recommend the cost-effective solution. Sometimes repairing the ignition or replacing the cylinder is the better option than cutting another key that will have the same problems.
