FAQs
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. We cut a matching blade and programme the transponder or smart key to the ECU so it starts your car. This is a common request when all keys are lost in N4.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
For many vehicles, we complete everything in a single visit—often within the same appointment window. Timing depends on the vehicle, key type (basic, remote, smart/proximity), and whether any immobiliser data work (like EEPROM) is required.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non-destructive entry. We use specialist tools and techniques to protect your locks, window seals, and paintwork. If an exception is unavoidable, we’ll explain the method and seek your approval first.
Can you reprogramme a used car key fob?
Sometimes, but not always. Many modern vehicles lock a key to the first car it was paired with. We can advise based on your make, model, and year. In many cases, supplying a new compatible fob is the most reliable option.
What should I do if I’ve lost my keys in Stroud Green?
Stay with the vehicle if possible, and contact us. We’ll verify ownership, come to your location in N4, and create a new key. Where the platform allows, we’ll remove the lost keys from the system for security and supply a fully working replacement.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support across North London, including Stroud Green, during evenings, weekends, and holidays. If you’re locked out or need urgent help, call us and we’ll prioritise your job.
