Vehicle Unlocking in N13
Locked out or the keys are locked in the boot? Our non-destructive entry techniques get you back into your vehicle safely and efficiently. If your car is deadlocked, we’ll explain your options clearly before proceeding. Learn more about our Vehicle Unlocking.
Car Key Programming and Remotes
Modern cars rely on transponders—a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. We handle transponder and smart key programming, proximity keys for push-button start, and replacement remotes. We use dealer-level diagnostics via OBD2 and, for some models, EEPROM programming when required.
Van & Commercial Vehicle Locksmith
From Transit vans to fleet vehicles, we offer key replacement, spare keys, unlocking, and ignition repairs for vans and commercial vehicles—designed to keep your business on the road with minimal downtime.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a convenient spare? We duplicate standard, remote, and smart keys in Palmers Green to save you time later. A spare key is often more affordable than an emergency call-out if you lose your only key.

FAQs
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. With the vehicle’s details and proof of ownership, we can create and program a new key without the original. We cut the blade and pair the transponder or smart fob to your immobiliser using OBD2 diagnostics. For some models, EEPROM or ECU programming may be required.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Palmers Green?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit, often the same day, depending on the vehicle and key type. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
Will you damage my car to unlock it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare situations, such as severe lock failures or specific deadlocks, minimal drilling or part replacement may be necessary. We’ll explain the situation and obtain your approval before any such work.
Do you operate evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside standard hours. Call us for availability and dispatch times in Palmers Green.
Can you reprogram a used key fob?
Sometimes. It depends on the vehicle and whether the used fob can be unlocked/virginised and paired to your immobiliser. We’ll advise based on your make and model.
What should I do if I’ve lost my only car key in N13?
Stay with the vehicle if possible and give us a call. We can come to you in Palmers Green, create a new key, and, if needed, erase the lost key from the car’s memory for security.
