Why Having a Spare Car Key Is a Smart Move

Getting locked out of your car or losing your only car key can be more than just frustrating — it can be expensive and time-consuming. At National Lock & Key, we’ve helped hundreds of drivers in Northern Virginia avoid costly emergencies simply by making a spare car key ahead of time.

🔑 Benefits of Having a Spare Car Key

  1. Avoid Emergency Lockouts

    • If you ever lock your keys in the car or misplace them, having a spare saves you time and stress.

  2. Save on Replacement Costs

    • Car key replacement can cost hundreds if you have no working key. A duplicate made in advance is cheaper and quicker.

  3. Peace of Mind for Families

    • Multiple drivers? Give your spare to a spouse or teen driver to prevent getting stranded.

  4. Prevent Vehicle Towing

    • Losing your only key might require towing your vehicle to a dealership or locksmith shop. A spare key avoids this hassle entirely.
