2000 Honda S2000
Key Replacement - Save vs Dealer in San Diego

Q: I'm worried someone has a copy of my S2000 key. Can the locks be rekeyed so old copies don't work?

Yes. Rekeying the door locks and ignition cylinder means the existing cuts no longer work and you get fresh keys on a new code. On a 2000 S2000 this is a mechanical job - no module resets, no scan tool. The tumblers get replaced or rearranged and you walk away with keys that only you have. If a key was lost or stolen and you want peace of mind, this is the right call.

Q: My 2000 S2000 doesn't have a smart key or fob, right? So what exactly do I need replaced?

Correct for this year. The 2000 S2000 uses a standard metal key. No fob, no remote, no battery to swap. Replacement is a cut key - matched to your vehicle by decoding the lock cylinder or by key code. That's the whole job. If someone is trying to sell you a key with buttons or talk you through a programming procedure for this car, that does not apply here.

Q: A locksmith or shop wants to duplicate my existing S2000 key rather than cut from code. Is that okay?

It depends on the condition of your original. Duplicating a worn key just copies the wear - the new key starts life already slightly off, and it can accelerate tumbler wear in the cylinder over time. S2000 ignition cylinders are not a cheap or easy swap, so it is worth doing this right. Cutting from code or decoding the lock directly gives you a key at the original factory specification.

Q: My S2000 key turns hard or sticks in the ignition. Do I need a new cylinder or just a new key?

Try the key first. A worn or slightly bent key is the most common reason an S2000 ignition starts feeling stiff or sticky. A fresh key cut to the original specification will often fix what feels like a cylinder problem. If a properly cut key still binds, then you are looking at the cylinder itself. But replacing the cylinder before trying a correct key is skipping a step - and an expensive one.

2000 Honda S2000 Metal Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Harbison Canyon is the kind of place where people keep interesting cars tucked away. A guy out there had a 2000 S2000 he'd owned for years, parked more than driven, one of those "I'll never sell it" situations. His key had gotten to the point where it would stick in the ignition, take a little wiggle to turn, and occasionally just refuse to come back out without a fight.

He'd had a copy made at a hardware store at some point, probably off the worn original, and the copy was just as bad. He found me and figured it was worth a call before he started pulling the ignition cylinder apart himself.

I pulled up to his place in Harbison Canyon with my van. No tow, no trip to Alpine proper, no waiting. I decoded the lock cylinder directly, confirmed the key code, and cut him a fresh key on site. Turned smooth on the first try. No wiggle, no coaxing.

He mentioned what the dealer had quoted him just to look at the cylinder and potentially rekey it. It was a number that made me glad I got there first. A fresh key cut from code fixed the whole problem without touching the cylinder at all.

Honda S2000 Mobile Service FAQ

Real costs, no dealer surprises

What is the cheapest way to handle a lost key on my 2000 Honda S2000?▼

Call a mobile locksmith before you call a dealer or a tow truck. The S2000 key for this year is a metal key cut to the vehicle - there is no programming session involved, which keeps the job simple and fast. A dealer will typically have you tow the car in, pull the ignition or door lock to decode it, and charge accordingly for their time and shop overhead.
