What To Do If You’re Locked Out Or Your Key’s Not Working
If you’re stuck at Alexandra Palace after an event, keys locked in the boot near the station, or your fob stops working on Muswell Hill, here’s the calmest path forward:
- Stay safe and in a well-lit place if possible
- Check your spare key if you have one nearby
- Avoid forced entry—modern cars have anti-theft systems that can be expensive to repair
- Call us with your vehicle make, model, year, and location so we can advise the best approach
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On rare occasions (for example, certain older models, heavy deadlocking, or damage caused before arrival), a minor component may need to be removed or drilled. If that’s necessary, we’ll explain the reason, outline costs, and seek your approval before any work begins.

FAQs
Can you unlock my car without damage in Alexandra Palace?
Yes. We use professional, non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If we foresee any risk of damage due to the lock type or pre-existing issues, we’ll explain it first and only proceed with your approval.
Can a locksmith make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create and program a new key even if you’ve lost the original. We’ll verify vehicle ownership for security and then cut and program the key using dealer-level diagnostics.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
It varies by vehicle and key type. Many standard replacements are completed in a single visit. Smart/proximity keys and some immobiliser systems may take a little longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
What should I do if my key snapped in the ignition?
Stop attempting to turn it and don’t try to pull it out with pliers; that can worsen the damage. We can perform broken key extraction and, if needed, ignition repair or replacement on site.
Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs for modern cars?
Yes. We handle smart key programming, transponder pairing, and immobiliser/ECU procedures for most makes. We use OBD2 diagnostics and EEPROM methods when required to complete the job correctly.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in N22?
Emergency help is available. If you’re locked out or have an urgent key issue in Alexandra Palace or nearby, call and we’ll advise on availability and dispatch options.
