Our Local Neighborhood Cleveland Lock Tech

It was the end of the 20th century and a family fell in love with a car. That same family fell in love with a key. This story has elements of love, loss, frustration, necessity and relief. It has it all. The story is the tale of losing a key and finding a ford focus ignition and lock expert to take way to much money to replace it.

My family took a road trip across country and, for this we bought a new car. We had not bought a new car before and were very excited at the prospect. We save up a little cash and we started visiting dealers and doing research. This car had to be large enough for all our stuff and fit us comfortable during our cross-country trip. It also had to be safe for our one-year-old daughter. We settled upon the new Chrysler Pacifica.

What really sold us were not just the features of the car itself but the features of the key. This key could not only open and close doors, but lift the lift gate and drop it, set the security and start the car from quite a distance. We loved this key.

We had a great trip across country and the automatic start and lift gate came in so very handy with the kid and the luggage keeping our arms and hands quite busy. However, once we got to Cleveland, we lost one of our keys. Rather, I lost my key as my wife will tell you.

We went to Chrysler and found that the reason the key was so great was because it cost a fortune. It was $100 to replace! Well, this was ridiculous. We decided to go with one key and just switch off.

So, we went on for years like that, trading the key and not loving it so much anymore. We even stated to resent it a bit. Then one day and another daughter later, we lost the other key or, as my wife will tell you, I lost the other key. We looked for days knowing what they key cost. We even looked outside of Chrysler and found local Cleveland lock techs that could make the key. It was even more expensive and not a factory original.

Well, we couldn’t find it and we needed to drive so, we resigned ourselves to getting a new key. When the Cleveland lock tech came, he actually gave us a deal and we got two keys for almost the price of one. Chrysler wouldn’t have done that for us. However, the new keys didn’t have all the buttons, they couldn’t lift the lift gate or disable the alarm. So, now whenever we enter the car, the alarm goes off and we have to start the engine to disable it.

The moral of the story is. You may love a key for its features but don’t forget those features have a price. A few days after we got the new keys made, our daughter presented us with a box she decorated for us and hid in the kitchen. They key was in it. We may not love that key anymore but we sure love her.
