Acura Car Key Replacement
Acura vehicles are engineered with some of the most sophisticated key and ignition technology on the road today — from rolling-code transponder chips in older Integra models to the proximity smart keys in the current MDX and RDX lineup. When you are locked out, need a replacement key cut and programmed, or have lost every copy of your Acura key on a busy Staten Island afternoon, the last thing you want is a days-long wait at the dealership. Frank Locksmith dispatches trained, insured mobile technicians across Staten Island — from Stapleton to Tottenville, Bay Street to Richmond Avenue — and we handle Acura key replacement on-site, at your car, often the same hour you call.
Open 24 hours, 7 days a week · Licensed, bonded & insured

Every job begins with ownership verification — we check your ID and registration before any work begins — and we confirm an exact up-front price before we cut or program a single key. Call (347) 284-0806 any time, day or night, and a real person answers.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to what our customers ask most. Still unsure? Just call.
Can you make a replacement Acura key if I have lost all copies and have no working key at all?+
Yes. Losing every key to your Acura requires a process called a 'lost key replacement' or full immobilizer relearn, which is more involved than duplicating from an existing working key but is absolutely something we handle. Our technician will verify your ownership documentation, then use professional programming equipment to generate a new key that the vehicle's immobilizer accepts as valid. It does take a bit longer than a standard duplicate, but it is completed on-site without towing your car.
I am locked out of my Acura Integra late at night in Staten Island. Can you really come right now?+
Absolutely. Frank Locksmith operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week — that includes overnight hours, weekends, and holidays. An Acura Integra emergency locksmith call at 2 a.m. is treated with the same priority as a midday call. Dial (347) 284-0806, let us know your location anywhere on Staten Island, and we will dispatch a technician immediately. We will also confirm the up-front price on that same call before anyone rolls out.
What proof of ownership do you need before you will open or make a key for my Acura?+
We require a government-issued photo ID and a document tying you to the vehicle — most commonly a registration, title, or insurance card showing the same name as your ID. This step is non-negotiable and protects every vehicle owner we serve. If your situation is unusual — for example, you just purchased the car and the title is still processing — call us and explain the circumstances; our technicians are experienced at assessing documentation on a case-by-case basis and will tell you exactly what they need.
How is the price for Acura car key replacement determined, and will I know the cost before you start?+
Yes, always. We confirm an exact price with you before any cutting, programming, or entry work begins. The factors that shape the quote include the key type (transponder chip key, push-button smart key, or standard key), the specific Acura model and year, the time of day, your location on Staten Island relative to our dispatch point, and which parts are needed for your job. A fob battery swap is a very different job from a full smart key programming with a new blade — so costs vary based on real differences in parts and labor, not arbitrary pricing.
Will you damage my Acura's door or paint when performing a lockout?+
Our technicians are trained in non-destructive entry techniques appropriate for each Acura model. The goal on every lockout call — whether it is an Acura MDX locked keys in car or an Acura RDX locked keys in car situation — is to open the vehicle cleanly without leaving marks on the door frame, paint, or weather sealing. We never use improvised or forceful methods. If a specific vehicle presents unusual circumstances, we will explain the situation and your options before proceeding.
Are your Acura replacement keys as reliable as what the dealer would provide?+
The keys and fob blanks we use are compatible with Acura's immobilizer and body control systems and are programmed using professional-grade equipment — the same category of tools used by dealer service departments. In our experience, the keys we produce on-site are functionally equivalent to dealer-sourced keys. The practical advantages of using our mobile service are speed (no tow, no appointment, no waiting for parts to be ordered) and the convenience of having the work done at your location anywhere in Staten Island.
