Ignition Cylinder Replacement

The ignition cylinder is a mechanical part inside which a car key is needed to be inserted to begin the vehicle. It is mounted inside the ignition switch.

The tumblers and pins made of wafer inside the cylinder for the ignition lock could wear out (often due to the use of a cheap or faulty key) break, crack or snag in an elevated position, blocking you from turning the key.
