It’s a scenario every driver in Cherry Hill dreads: you reach into your pocket or purse at the Deptford Mall or after a long day at work, and your car keys are gone. In the past, this meant an expensive tow to the dealership, a 3-day wait for parts, and a bill that could make your head spin. But as your local automotive locksmith, Ben’s Lock & Key offers a faster, more affordable way to get back on the road.
As a family-owned business in NJ, we know that being stranded isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a safety issue. That’s why we’ve invested in the same high-tech diagnostic equipment that the dealerships use, but we put it in our mobile service vans so we can come directly to you.
Dealership-Level Technology, Small Business Service
Modern cars are essentially computers on wheels. Most keys made after the year 2000 contain a “transponder chip” that communicates with your car’s immobilizer system. If the chip isn’t programmed correctly, the car won’t start—even if the key turns in the ignition.
As a specialized automotive locksmith, we carry thousands of key blanks and fobs for almost every make and model on the road today.
- Key Fob Programming: Whether it’s a push-to-start proximity fob or a standard remote, we can sync it to your vehicle on-site.
- Laser-Cut Keys: Many luxury and modern vehicles use “sidewinder” or laser-cut keys. Our vans are equipped with high-precision cutting machines to duplicate these perfectly.
- Ignition Repair: Sometimes the key isn’t the problem—the ignition cylinder is. If your key is sticking or won’t turn, our family-run team can often repair the ignition rather than replacing the whole steering column.

We serve all of Cherry Hill and the surrounding South Jersey suburbs. We know the shortcuts to get to you faster, whether you’re in Cherry Hill, Voorhees, or Marlton. We treat every car like it’s our own, ensuring no damage to your door locks or interior during the process.
