Car Key Replacement in Delray Beach, FL
LockFox is headquartered right here in Delray Beach, so a lost key on Atlantic Avenue or a spare cut before you head out of town is usually a short drive for our nearest technician.
Situations we see around town
Delray Beach is compact, but the car key calls come from very different corners of it.
Atlantic Avenue & Pineapple Grove
A key set down at a restaurant table or left in a valet line along Atlantic Avenue is an easy way to lose it downtown in the evening.
Delray Marketplace
Shoppers at Delray Marketplace, off Lyons Road and Atlantic Avenue, call us from the parking field when a key won't turn up in a purse or bag.
Kings Point & 55+ communities
Seasonal residents in Kings Point and other age-restricted communities west of I-95 often want a spare cut soon after they arrive back for the winter.
Delray Harbor Club Marina
Boaters at the Delray Harbor Club Marina on Federal Highway sometimes leave the only car key aboard before heading out on the water.
The municipal beach
A key that slides out of a towel or beach bag near the Delray Beach municipal beach is a familiar call on any warm weekend.
Tri-Rail commuters
Riders parked at the Delray Beach Tri-Rail station on Congress Avenue occasionally return from a trip to find the only key isn't where they left it.
Which key job you need
The fix depends on what's actually missing and what the car requires.
- All keys lost. Nothing left on the ring at all — the car stays parked where it is, and we build a fresh key from the vehicle rather than sending it to a shop.
- Spare & duplicate keys. A second key cut before a Kings Point season starts, or before a Marketplace shopping trip becomes a one-key household, is the cheapest insurance we sell.
- Transponder (chip) keys. A blade cut alone at a big-box kiosk near the Marketplace will often open the door but not start the engine; the chip has to be matched to your specific car.
- Smart & proximity keys. Push-to-start vehicles common in newer Kings Point villas and Atlantic Avenue condos need a programming tool, not a hand-cut blank.
- Remote & fob keys. A remote that stops unlocking the car near the marina or the beach lot is usually a programming issue, not a cutting one — see key fob programming.
What happens when you call
- Reach us at (754) 328-1958, by call or text, and describe roughly where in Delray Beach the car is sitting — downtown, the marina, the beach, or a community west of I-95.
- Have your VIN and ID ready, plus the registration or title. We match the name on your ID to the paperwork before any key is cut, every time.
- The key is cut and programmed at the vehicle. No trip to a shop or a wait for a part to be ordered in for most jobs.
- We test the result. Doors, trunk release, remote buttons and starting the engine a few times before we consider the job finished.
What changes the price
- Key type — basic blade, transponder, remote head or smart key
- Vehicle year, make, model and trim
- Whether it's a spare or an all-keys-lost job
- OEM key versus a quality aftermarket key
- Time of day and where the car needs to be reached
You'll hear the price on the phone before we head out, once we know the vehicle and situation.

Delray Beach car key FAQ
Can you cut a key for a car parked at Delray Marketplace?
Yes. Delray Marketplace and the surrounding Lyons Road parking field are a regular stop for us. Give us your row or store entrance when you call.
I just arrived at Kings Point for the season and want a spare cut. Can you come to the clubhouse or my villa?
Yes. Let the guardhouse know a technician is expected and give us the address, and we'll cut and program the spare at your vehicle.
My key is on the boat at Delray Harbor Club Marina. Can you get me a new car key without it?
Yes, that's an all-keys-lost job for the vehicle. We build the new key from the car itself, so the missing key doesn't need to turn up.
Do you replace car keys near the municipal beach?
Yes, lost keys near the beach and along A1A are a common call for us, especially on busy weekends. Tell us which lot you're in when you reach out.
Can you meet me at the Tri-Rail station if I lost my key on a trip?
Yes. Call or text once you're back at the Congress Avenue station and we'll confirm your vehicle details and head over.
Locked out of a key in Delray Beach?
Text or call with your vehicle's year, make and model and where it's parked, and we'll quote the job before anyone heads out.
