Don’t Let a Broken Key Shell Leave You Stranded
A broken car key shell may seem like a small issue, but it can lead to major inconvenience. Cracked housings can expose internal circuits, making your key vulnerable to dust, moisture, or complete failure. Worn-out buttons often require repeated pressing, causing response delays, or worse, the key may stop unlocking the car altogether. In flip keys, a damaged blade holder can make the key unstable or unusable in the ignition. These issues are common across many models, especially with frequent use in extreme Dubai heat. At DEX Key Maker, we don’t just patch the problem. we replace the shell with a precision-fit case that matches your original design, ensuring your key works smoothly and looks brand new.

Remote Housing Replacement - Save the Electronics, Replace the Shell

It’s common for the plastic casing of your remote or smart key to crack, loosen, or break entirely. especially with older keys that have been heavily used.

- Loose or missing buttons
- Cracked or broken shell
- Worn-out rubber pads

- Water damage or exposed electronics
At DEX Key Maker, we stock high-quality, durable remote shells compatible with a wide variety of vehicles. Our service includes:
