How We Solve Car Key and Lock Problems
We follow a structured, professional process designed to keep your vehicle safe:
-
Assessment and ID check
We confirm you’re the keeper or have permission to access the vehicle. We’ll ask about the symptoms (e.g., “key not detected,” “fob not responding,” “key snapped,” “locked keys in boot”). -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
We use specialist picks, decoders, and techniques to open your vehicle without damage. Tools such as Lishi picks and air wedges allow controlled access to many makes and models. Rare exceptions—like certain seized or damaged locks and some aftermarket deadlocks—may require minor drilling or component replacement, but we’ll explain your options and costs before any work. -
Diagnostics and programming
For keys and immobiliser issues, we connect dealer-level diagnostic equipment via OBD2 to read immobiliser data and pair new keys. For some vehicles (including certain VAG, BMW, and others), we offer EEPROM-level programming when needed. This enables us to create and program keys even if all keys are lost. -
Key cutting and testing
We cut mechanical blades (including laser-cut/high-security profiles) from code or via your existing lock. We then program the transponder and remote functions, test central locking, and verify the car starts and runs consistently. -
Final handover and warranty
We provide a clear demonstration and guidance on using and storing your new key or fob. You’ll receive a warranty on the key and our workmanship for peace of mind.

FAQs For Stoke Newington Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using dealer-level diagnostics, key code data, and where necessary EEPROM techniques, we can create and program a new key even when all keys are lost. We’ll confirm ownership and ID first.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases—such as severely damaged locks or certain aftermarket deadlocks—minimal drilling may be required, and we’ll explain options and costs before any work.
How quickly can you get to Stoke Newington?
We dispatch efficiently across N16 and the wider North London area. While we don’t promise exact timings, we’ll give you a realistic ETA and keep you updated.
Do you work with smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-button start issues using OBD2 diagnostics and, when needed, EEPROM programming for certain models.
What if my key fob has stopped working suddenly?
It may be a flat battery, a desynchronised remote, or a transponder/immobiliser issue. We can test the fob, replace batteries, re-sync remotes, and program or replace the key/fob as needed.
Is it cheaper than going to a main dealer?
Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing and waiting times. As a mobile service, we come to you in N16 and complete most jobs same day, saving time, hassle, and typically cost versus a dealer.
