FAQs
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. With proof of ownership, we can cut and program a replacement from your vehicle’s locks/ECU and security data. Depending on the model, we’ll pair the new transponder or smart key to your immobiliser and test it fully.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non‑destructive techniques wherever possible. In a small number of cases—such as severely damaged locks or specific deadlocked setups—we’ll explain the safest approach, agree the plan with you, and proceed only with your approval.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most replacement keys can be cut and programmed in one visit. Times vary by make/model and whether it’s a standard remote or a smart/proximity key. We’ll give you a realistic estimate when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in Fortis Green?
Yes. We support urgent issues outside standard hours. If your situation is time‑critical, call us and we’ll prioritise efficient dispatch.
What vehicles do you handle?
We work with most cars and vans on UK roads, including Ford, Vauxhall, VW, BMW, Mercedes‑Benz, Audi, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, Hyundai, Peugeot, Renault, Land Rover, and more.

Typically photo ID and your V5C logbook. If those aren’t available, we’ll advise acceptable alternatives. This policy helps protect vehicle owners in the community.
