The Mazda MX-5/Miata, one of the world’s most iconic roadsters, first hit the roads in 1989 and received a major update in 1998 with the launch of its second generation. Just as the Miata evolved with improved aerodynamics and safety, SherlockLock continues to upgrade its tools and expertise to meet the growing demands of modern vehicle security.
In this generation, Mazda made a key change by replacing the signature pop-up headlights with fixed ones - an update made for pedestrian safety, which also shaved a few kilograms off the car’s weight. The focus on both safety and performance mirrors SherlockLock’s own dedication to providing cutting-edge vehicle locksmith services that don’t compromise on security or speed.
Between 2004 and 2005, Mazda briefly introduced a turbocharged version of the MX-5, known as the Mazdaspeed Miata, which brought sharper performance for the road and the track. Despite its lightweight construction, this version packed a serious punch. And much like this special edition, SherlockLock offers advanced, high-performance car key replacement, ignition repair, and transponder programming services, always ready to handle complex cases with precision.
The third-generation MX-5 launched in 2005 and drew inspiration from classic British roadsters, but with Mazda’s hallmark reliability and efficiency. With a stiffer chassis and sportier stance, it was built for everyday use without sacrificing fun. SherlockLock applies that same principle to locksmithing - delivering daily convenience through dependable, affordable automotive locksmith solutions, whether you're dealing with a car lockout or need a smart key replacement.
In 2008, the third generation received a facelift, improving the front fascia with a five-point grille and new triangular fog lights. That kind of attention to detail is something SherlockLock applies to every vehicle make and model - from classic roadsters like the Miata to modern smart key systems.
By 2016, Mazda released the MX-5 RF (Retractable Fastback), adding a power-operated roof and fixed B-pillars to the design. It blurred the line between roadster and targa, modernizing the Miata for a new era. Similarly, SherlockLockembraces innovation - offering mobile locksmith services for RF-style keyless entry systems and high-security locks, all with the convenience and professionalism drivers expect.
Whether your MX-5 is an early NA classic or a modern ND RF, SherlockLock is your trusted local expert in vehicle lockouts, laser-cut keys, and emergency ignition work. With the same level of care Mazda put into its legendary roadster, we ensure your car stays secure - without slowing you down.
