When You Might Need A Vehicle Locksmith

Car key and lock issues rarely happen at a convenient time. If any of the following sounds familiar, we can help on the roadside, at home, or at your workspace:

• Locked out of car or van, keys inside the vehicle or boot
• Lost car keys and no spare key available
• Car key snapped in the door lock or ignition
• Key turns but car won’t start, or car key not detected
• Faulty or unresponsive key fob after a battery change
• Central locking not working on one door or intermittently
• Stolen car key replacement and vehicle security reset
• Ignition barrel problems (key stuck, key won’t turn)
• Worn or damaged car key needing repair or replacement

If your situation involves theft risk, we can erase lost keys from the vehicle’s memory (where supported) and program new secure keys so old keys won’t start the car.

For more detailed replacements and options, see our dedicated page for car key replacement in North London. For access issues, our car unlock service in North London explains how we get you in without damage, wherever possible.

How We Work On The Day

We keep things simple, even with modern vehicle security:

1. Assess and Unlock

• We start with non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our technicians use specialist lock picks and air wedges to open doors without damage. In rare cases where a component has failed or a lock is already damaged, we’ll explain the options and obtain your approval before proceeding.

2. Diagnose Keys and Immobiliser

• We connect dealer-level diagnostic tools via the OBD2 port to communicate with your vehicle’s immobiliser. If required—on certain models or when modules are corrupted—we can perform EEPROM programming to securely add keys at a deeper level. This is part of how we achieve results similar to main dealers, without towing or long delays.

3. Cut and Program Your Key

• We cut new keys with precision machines, including laser-cut/high-security profiles. We then program the transponder chip and remote functions. For smart keys and proximity keys, we follow the correct sequence for your make and model to ensure the car recognises and trusts the new key.

4. Test and Handover

• We test starting, remote locking/unlocking, and boot release. You’ll receive a demonstration and advice on spares, battery care for fobs, and what to do if issues recur. Your new key and our workmanship are covered by warranty.

If your fob has simply stopped responding, first check our guidance on key fob not working—then call us if you need on-site diagnostics or repair.

FAQs

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Yes. With your vehicle’s VIN/immobiliser data and dealer-level tools, we can cut and program a working key without the original. We verify ownership for security and then create and program the new key on-site.

How long does it take to get a new car key?

Many standard and remote keys can be supplied and programmed on the same visit, often within an appointment window. Smart keys and certain security systems can take longer, especially if EEPROM work is required. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you call.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. If a component is already faulty (for example, a failed lock) and a different approach is necessary, we’ll explain the situation and agree the next steps with you first.

Do you work evenings and weekends?

Yes, we offer flexible availability for urgent needs. For immediate issues, our dedicated emergency auto locksmith in North London page outlines how we prioritise call-outs.

Does car insurance cover lost keys in the UK?

Some policies do, some don’t—often with an excess and certain conditions. It’s worth checking your policy schedule. We can provide a written invoice for claims where applicable.

Can you reprogram a used car key fob?

In some cases, yes—but many used fobs are locked to a previous vehicle. It’s usually more reliable to supply a new, compatible fob for full functionality and security. We’ll advise the best option for your make and model.

Need a spare? Sorting it now is cheaper and far less stressful than replacing your only key later. Ask about discounts when ordering two keys together.

Thinking of selling or lending a vehicle? We can add and remove keys to keep access secure and traceable.

Running a studio or small fleet locally? We can arrange on-site programming for multiple vans or cars to minimise downtime.

If your key symbol flashes on the dash or you see “key not detected”, we can diagnose on-site and resolve immobiliser pairing issues.
