University Place is a beautiful community, but a car lockout or a broken ignition can quickly ruin a sunset view at the water. Whether you’re finishing a round of golf at Chambers Bay or picking up groceries at the Village at University Place, a lost key shouldn’t sideline your day. At WA Lock & Key, we specialize in high-tech automotive security, providing onsite solutions for all makes and models.
We don’t just “unlock doors”- we are mobile technicians equipped with the latest diagnostic tools to program transponder keys and laser-cut high-security fobs right where you’re parked. Because we operate locally, we can reach most UP neighborhoods faster than big-city dispatchers.
WA Lock & Key is Lakewood’s leading mobile automotive locksmith. We come to you-wherever you are parked-to get you back on the road in minutes.

Seattle-Specific Experience: Last month, we assisted a family at the Seattle Center whose toddler had accidentally locked the keys (and themselves) inside the car. We arrived in 12 time, safely opened the vehicle, and had the family back on their way within seconds of arrival.
Locked out near Bridgeport Way at rush hour? Or perhaps you left your keys in the trunk while unloading gear at Curley Elementary? Our mobile units use professional-grade, non-marring tools to safely bypass your locks without damaging your weather stripping or power window components. We serve drivers stranded at local parks, schools, and shopping centers throughout the city.
Don’t waste time and money towing your car to a dealership in Tacoma. We carry a comprehensive inventory of smart keys, proximity fobs, and traditional metal keys. From the latest push-to-start SUVs to older domestic trucks, we cut and program your replacement key on-site in Sunset Beach, Day Island, or Beckonridge.
The salt air near the Sound can sometimes cause ignition cylinders to grit up and seize. If your key is stuck or has snapped off in the cylinder, don’t try to force it—you could cause hundreds in extra damage. We provide precision extraction and can often repair or replace the ignition cylinder right there in your driveway.
Yes. Using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and proof of ownership, we can generate a factory-spec key from scratch using our computerized cutting machines.
Absolutely. We stay updated with the latest software for Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Honda, and even European brands like VW and BMW.
You can usually find it on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb.
We utilize specialized high-precision cutting machinery specifically designed for the sidewall grooves found on modern luxury and high-security vehicle keys. Whether you are parked near University Place Town Center or commuting along Bridgeport Way, our mobile units can cut and program these complex keys on-site, saving you an expensive trip to the dealer.
This is a frequent issue, often caused by worn internal wafers or debris. Instead of replacing the entire steering column, we can perform on-site ignition repair or extraction. We specialize in removing broken key fragments and rebuilding ignition cylinders to work with your existing keys, which is a much more cost-effective solution than a full mechanical replacement.
