How We Work: Non-Destructive Entry And Dealer-Level Diagnostics
-
Step 1: Call For Help
- Tell us your location in Tottenham Hale or N17, your vehicle make/model, year and the issue. We’ll give you a clear explanation of your options, availability and a free, no-obligation quote. We never offer a “one-price-fits-all” promise because costs vary by vehicle and key type, but we do provide an accurate estimate before work begins. For how pricing works, see our overview of auto locksmith prices in North London.
-
Step 2: Efficient Mobile Dispatch
- We’ll head to your location—street-side near Hale Village, residential roads off Broad Lane, retail car parks or workplaces. We avoid hard arrival promises; instead, we focus on fast, realistic dispatch and updates, so you’re not left guessing.
-
Step 3: Assessment And Non-Destructive Entry
- We verify proof of ownership and ID for your security. Then we assess the lock, door, boot or ignition. Our priority is non-destructive techniques, using professional tools designed to protect locks and weather seals. We explain any rare exceptions upfront.

Step 4: Key Cutting And Programming
- For replacement keys, we cut blades precisely (including laser/high-security profiles). We program transponder chips and remotes using dealer-level tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Unlock My Car Without Damage?
Yes—non-destructive entry is always our first approach. We use professional picks and access tools designed for your vehicle’s locks. If an exceptional situation requires a different method (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain the risks and get your approval before proceeding.
I’m Stuck At Tottenham Hale Station. Can You Come To Me?
Absolutely. We’re a mobile service and regularly attend callouts at Tottenham Hale Station, Ferry Lane and the Retail Park. We coordinate with you for a safe meeting spot and keep you updated on our arrival.
Can You Make A New Car Key Without The Original?
In most cases, yes. We can create keys from the vehicle using your VIN, locks and immobiliser data. This often involves on-vehicle diagnostics and, for some models, EEPROM or ECU work. We’ll confirm feasibility for your make/model when you call.
Do You Cover Evenings And Weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside standard hours. If you need urgent vehicle entry or a replacement key in the evening or at the weekend, call us and we’ll prioritise your job accordingly.
What Will It Cost?
Prices depend on the vehicle, key type (standard, remote, smart), the work required (unlock vs replacement), and timing. We’ll give you a free, accurate quote before any work begins. For a breakdown of cost factors, see our guide to auto locksmith prices in North London.
What Proof Of Ownership Do You Need?
For your security, we’ll ask to see photo ID and proof of ownership (for example, V5C or a suitable document). If your keys were stolen, we can also clear old keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car.
Can You Help With Ignition Or Steering Lock Problems?
Yes. We diagnose and repair ignition barrels, steering locks and associated wiring faults. If your key won’t turn, or you see a key/immobiliser symbol on the dash, we’ll test the system and advise the best repair route.
