Non-Destructive Entry And Modern Diagnostics
We prioritise non-destructive methods to protect your vehicle. Our technicians use professional tools such as Lishi picks, air wedges, and decode readers to open doors cleanly and safely. For key creation and programming, we employ dealer-level diagnostic platforms via the OBD2 port, and for certain 2024/2025 immobiliser systems we can carry out advanced EEPROM workbench procedures where appropriate.
Very rarely, a minor destructive method may be the only viable option—typically on specific deadlocked vehicles or where the lock is mechanically failed. If that’s the case, we’ll explain the reason, agree the approach with you first, and replace any affected components to a high standard.

FAQs
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create a new key from the vehicle’s locks or security data. Depending on the make/model, we may access immobiliser data via the OBD2 port or, for some systems, use EEPROM techniques on the bench. We’ll confirm what’s required when you call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If a lock is deadlocked or severely failed, a minor destructive option may be the only safe route; we’ll explain this first and replace/repair any affected parts to a high standard.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
It varies by vehicle and key type. A standard remote can often be cut and programmed during a single visit. Smart/proximity keys or newer immobiliser systems may take a little longer due to security procedures and programming steps. We’ll provide a realistic timeframe when quoting.
Do you operate evenings and weekends?
Yes. We support urgent and planned appointments across Harringay and N4/N8 with flexible scheduling. For emergencies such as locked keys in car, we prioritise dispatch.
My car says “key not detected.” Can you help?
Usually, yes. It could be a flat key battery, a failed fob, a transponder issue, or an antenna/module fault. We can test the fob, programme a replacement, or diagnose the immobiliser and keyless entry system.
What if my key fob has stopped working?
We can test and repair many fobs, replace worn shells/blades, and reprogramme where needed. If repair isn’t cost-effective, we’ll supply and programme a replacement.
Does insurance cover lost car keys in the UK?
Some policies do. It depends on your insurer and cover level. We can provide an invoice and job report to support claims; check your policy or contact your insurer for details.
