Trust a locksmith to know how to fix worn out car keys. In today's video, Uriah Ortiz and Brian Jarboe discuss and show you how locksmiths fix worn auto keys, or really any key that uses wafers or pins.

Car key blades, much like house keys or other types of keys, are made of brass. Over time, brass tend to wear out as friction shaves more and more of the material away. Pins and wafers are also commonly made of brass and wear the same as your key, only you don't see every detail on pins or wafers from the outside of the lock cylinder.

What this means is that when you get a "fresh" key cut to spec, it may still fail to operate your lock, as the wafers or pins are still as worn.
