Kenworth Truck Key Replacement On Site
A Kenworth parked without a key holds up a load and a schedule. We bring the key shop to the truck. Our van carries blanks for the T680, T800 and W900 and for other Kenworth models, and we cut on the spot.
When the keys are locked in the cab of a T680 or a W900, the truck is fine and only the door is the problem. We treat it like a car lockout and open the Kenworth without damage.
Call with the model and year. We’ll confirm what the truck takes and head to the yard or truck stop where it’s sitting. Our car and truck key work is described on the car key replacement page.
Most Kenworth ignition and door keys are plain metal keys cut to a code. Some newer trucks add a chip that has to be programmed. We’ll go over which one applies to yours before we leave.
Find your Kenworth key
Pick the year and model to see which key your Kenworth takes. Each listing shows the key type, the transponder chip, the remote’s FCC ID, the OEM part number and the Ilco key blank for Kenworth models from 1990 to 2004. If a Kenworth listing says “Call to confirm,” we haven’t confirmed that detail yet.
This Kenworth list is a guide only. Some Kenworth keys changed partway through a model year, and some Kenworth models take a key that isn’t listed here. Before you buy a key, call a Kenworth dealer with your VIN for the part number.
Lost or Stolen Kenworth Keys
If the only key is lost, we cut a replacement from the lock or by code. For an owner-operator we check a license and registration. For a company truck we ask for something showing you're authorized to have a key made.
If a key was stolen, rekeying is the sure fix on plain-key trucks. We change the ignition and door locks to a new cut, and the old key is useless. On chip-equipped trucks we can also clear the old key electronically.
Broken Kenworth Keys
Truck keys bend and crack from years on a heavy ring. If one breaks, keep the pieces for us to copy. A piece left in the ignition comes out first, and then the new key is cut.
Call (484) 891-1922 with the Kenworth's year and model and where it's parked. We'll confirm we have the blank and go over pricing and an estimated arrival time. Our service area is the whole Lehigh Valley, including its warehouse corridors. Find your town on our locations page. For the rest of the truck makes we handle, see truck key replacement.

Before you call
Three things speed it up: the year and model, the location of the truck, and whether you have one working key or none. The call for a Kenworth key is short: year, model and trim, then pricing and availability. Lawful possession of the Kenworth truck is confirmed as part of the job.
Questions Kenworth Owners Ask
What if the new Kenworth key stops working?
Guaranteed against factory defects on the parts and against craftsmanship on the work: every Kenworth key.
Do you make keys at a terminal or a truck stop?
Yes. Yards, docks and truck stops are all normal stops for us.
Do I have to tow my Kenworth T680 to a dealer for a key?
No. The Kenworth key is cut where the truck is parked, and programmed if the truck runs a chip key.
Does a Kenworth truck key cost more at night?
No. The Kenworth job sets the price, and an emergency does not add to it.
