On-Site Mechanical Restoration
A stuck ignition can leave you completely stranded even if your key is perfect. In South Africa\'s harsh conditions, dirt and mechanical wear can cause ignition barrels to seize. Foxlock technicians are experts in rebuilding ignition cylinders on-site, saving you from a costly entire assembly replacement.
Ignition Stiff / Not Turning
Internal wafers are worn or stuck. We pin, clean, and rebuild the cylinder on-the-spot.
Ignition Barrel Snapped
Complete replacement of mechanical housing while retaining your original keys.
Key Not Responding
Failure of electronic reader antenna or the ignition switch. We diagnose and fix.
Steering Lock Malfunction
Critical electronic failure on modern push-button start vehicles. We offer bypass services.
The Danger of Forced Ignition
If your key won\'t turn, DO NOT force it. You risk snapping the key inside or damaging the antenna ring. A professional cleaning and wafer replacement by Foxlock is significantly cheaper than a total ignition failure.
Cylinder Rebuilding
Instead of replacing the entire unit (requiring new keys), we disassemble and re-pin your barrel on-site.
Wafer Replacement
We replace the worn pins inside the barrel to match your original key profile.
ESL Reset (Electronic Steering Lock)
Modern BMW, Mercedes, and VW units can be reset or bypassed on-site.
Ignition Switch Diagnosis
When the barrel turns but the car doesn't crank, we test the electrical switch.
12-Month Warranty
All ignition mechanical repairs come with a full guarantee for your peace of mind.
