How It Works: Safe, Efficient, Professional
We keep things simple and transparent:
-
Get In Touch
Tell us the vehicle make, model, year, and what’s happened. We’ll confirm what we can do on-site and provide a clear, no-obligation quote. -
We Come To You
Our mobile locksmith arrives at your Mildmay location with dealer-level equipment for diagnostics, key cutting, and programming. We’ll carry out a quick security check (proof of ID and proof of ownership) to protect you and your vehicle. -
Non-Destructive Entry Wherever Possible
We use professional lock-picking and air-wedge tools to open cars without damage in the vast majority of cases. On rare occasions where non-destructive entry isn’t viable (for example, certain deadlocked or heavily damaged systems), we’ll explain why, discuss options, and obtain your approval before proceeding. -
Cut And Programme Your Key
We cut keys precisely and programme transponders using OBD2 diagnostics, dealer-level software, and—where required—EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming. Smart keys, proximity keys, push-to-start fobs, and high-security blades are all part of our daily work. -
Testing And Handover
We test door locks, boot, ignition, and remote functions. You leave with a working key and a clear explanation of any warranty that applies.
Expert Car Key Programming In Mildmay
Modern vehicles rely on immobiliser systems for security. A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car so it can start. If the pairing is lost, the car will not fire up even if the blade turns.
We offer:
- Transponder key programming for most UK brands
- Smart key programming and proximity key replacement
- Remote key programming for locking/unlocking
- EEPROM and immobiliser programming for keys lost situations
- Digital diagnostics to clear immobiliser faults and key errors
For a deeper look at our programming capability, see our page on car key programming.
