Car Unlock Service and Emergency Lockouts in Newington Green
If you’re locked out, our car lockout service focuses on non‑destructive techniques to protect your vehicle. We use professional lock‑picking and air‑wedge methods, specialist door tools, and manufacturer‑informed approaches to gain entry without damage in the vast majority of situations. Rarely—such as when a lock is already damaged or aftermarket deadlocks are fitted—we may need to discuss minor alternative entry to keep costs and delays low; we’ll always explain your options clearly before work begins.
- Urgent vehicle entry for keys locked in car or boot
- Quick car unlock service for all makes including electric and hybrid models
- On‑site fault checks if the key fob suddenly stops working
- Roadside assistance across Newington Green, Mildmay, Canonbury and Dalston
If your emergency involves missing keys, we can cut and program replacements on the spot, saving you the delay and cost of towing to a dealer.
Tip: If your keys are stolen, we can also erase old keys from the immobiliser memory and program new ones for your security.
Car Key Replacement and Spare Car Keys in N16/N1
We supply and program new keys for most vehicles from our mobile units. Whether you drive a Transit van for work, a VW Golf for commuting, or a family SUV, we can create a working key even if you don’t have the original. This includes:
- Remote fobs and flip keys
- Standard transponder keys
- Smart/proximity keys for push‑to‑start vehicles
- Laser‑cut and high‑security key blades
If your only key is lost, we can decode locks, access immobiliser data, and program fresh keys that start the vehicle—usually same visit. If you have a working key, getting a spare is quicker and more cost‑effective than an emergency replacement down the line.

Advanced Car Key Programming in Newington Green
Modern vehicles rely on immobiliser systems and transponder chips. If you’ve replaced a fob or your car shows a key symbol on the dash, programming is often required. We use dealer‑level tools, including OBD2 diagnostics and EEPROM techniques for certain models, to code keys and synchronise remotes correctly.
- Transponder key programming for most UK brands
- Smart key programming and proximity key replacement
- ECU/immobiliser programming and data resets if required
- Remote central locking pairing and fob repair
If your key fob is not responding or you’ve bought a new fob shell, we’ll assess whether it can be repaired or must be programmed afresh. Learn more about our specialist Car Key Programming.
Ignition and Vehicle Lock Repairs
If the key won’t turn or is stuck, we can repair or replace worn tumblers, fix steering lock issues, and extract snapped blades safely. We also repair door and boot locks, address central locking faults, and align security components after attempted theft.
- Broken car key extraction from locks and ignitions
- Ignition repair and replacement without towing
- Central locking diagnostics and door actuator checks
- Steering lock repair and vehicle lock malfunction repair
If your key is turning but the car won’t start, we’ll run immobiliser diagnostics first to avoid unnecessary parts.
Lost or Stolen Keys? We’ll Secure Your Vehicle
Losing your keys around Newington Green can be stressful—especially if your address or number plate is with them. We can:

Clear Quotes and Good Value
Auto locksmith prices vary because every vehicle and situation is different: make, model, year, key type (standard, remote, smart), whether a working key exists, and the service needed (unlock vs. full replacement). Emergency timing can also affect the cost. We don’t publish fixed prices because it wouldn’t be fair or accurate—but we’re happy to provide a clear estimate once we know your details. If you’re weighing up dealer vs. locksmith, remember that a mobile specialist can often do the job faster and more conveniently at your location, saving on towing and time off work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a car key without the original in Newington Green?
Yes. Using vehicle data, lock decoding and immobiliser programming, we can create and program a new key or smart fob even if you’ve lost the original. We handle most brands on‑site.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non‑destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare case that a lock is already damaged or extra security is fitted, we’ll explain options and get your approval before taking any alternative steps.
How long does a replacement key take?
Many keys can be cut and programmed within a single visit. Times vary by make/model and whether we’re dealing with a remote, proximity key or transponder. We’ll advise realistic timings when you call.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in N16?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside standard hours. Call for availability and we’ll dispatch efficiently across Newington Green and nearby areas.
My key fob isn’t working—do I need a new one?

Is a mobile auto locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
