Del Mar packs a lot of motorcycle traffic into a small town. Camino del Mar is part of the coast route that climbs the Torrey Pines grade, the Del Mar Fairgrounds draws huge crowds for the summer fair, horse racing and big events, and the village fills with riders stopping for food near Powerhouse Park and Seagrove Park. Parking is tight and enforced, so bikes end up tucked into small spaces all over town.
If your key is lost in a fairgrounds lot or at Dog Beach, or snaps in the ignition outside a restaurant on Camino del Mar, we come to the bike. We make new keys when all keys are lost, duplicate keys, program transponder keys, remove broken keys and repair or replace ignitions and seat, gas cap and saddlebag locks. Have photo ID and the registration or title on hand.

Local notes for Del Mar riders
- Parking in the village and near the beach is paid and enforced, so check the time on your space if you are stuck there with a lost key.
- During the county fair and racing seasons, fairgrounds lots are huge and traffic is heavy, so note the lot name or nearest gate before you call.
- Salt air in the Beach Colony and along the bluffs corrodes lock cylinders, so a key that sticks is worth dealing with before it breaks off.

Del Mar motorcycle key FAQ
I lost my key at the fair. Can you come to the Del Mar Fairgrounds parking lot?
Yes. We come to the bike in public lots, including fairgrounds parking. Tell us the lot and the nearest gate or landmark, and have photo ID and the registration or title ready. Event lots can close after hours, so check the lot's hours too.
I bought a used bike from a private seller and it came with no key. Can you make one?
Yes, as long as the paperwork shows the bike is yours. A title signed over to you or a registration in your name, plus photo ID, is what we look for. We then make a key from the lock and program it if the bike has an immobilizer.
My key broke off in the steering lock at Dog Beach. Can you get it out?
Yes. We extract broken keys from ignitions, steering locks, seat locks and gas caps, and we aim to save the lock. Once the piece is out, we can cut a new key so you can ride home.
Helpful guides
- Scooter Seat and Storage Locks: How They Open and FailScooters open the seat in one of three basic ways: a separate seat lock that takes the ignition key, a seat position on the ignition switch, or an electric button or keyless fob.
- How Many Keys Should Come With a Used Motorcycle?Most motorcycles are delivered with two keys or fobs, and many also come with a third item that matters more than either: a master or programming key, a code card, a key number tag or a security PIN.
- Trike and Three-Wheeler Keys: Harley, Can-Am, TrunksKeys and locks on trikes can be replaced, but who does which part depends on the machine.
