Fast, Non-Destructive Van Unlocking
Locked out? We offer a careful, non-destructive entry locksmith approach wherever possible. Our technicians use professional lock picks and decoders (including Lishi, Tibbe for older Ford, and HU101/HU66 profiles) as well as safe access techniques to open the vehicle cleanly and without damage.
- Typical scenarios: keys locked in the cab, load area, or in the ignition; remote fob failure
- We work on factory security as well as many aftermarket systems
- We’ll explain your options upfront and agree the plan before work begins
Rare exceptions: some aftermarket deadlocks, slam locks, or hardened armour plates can make non-destructive entry impossible. In those cases, we’ll discuss the risks, seek permission, and, if drilling is necessary, we’ll replace the affected accessory cylinder and restore function to your satisfaction.
If you need a door open quickly with minimal fuss, our dedicated Vehicle Unlocking service is ready to help.
Van Key Replacement And Programming On Site
Whether you’ve lost your only van key or just need a spare for your fleet, we supply and program replacement keys at the roadside or at your depot. We handle:
- Transponder key programming (the small chip that “talks” to your van’s immobiliser)
- Remote fob and smart/proximity key programming and syncing with central locking
- Car key cutting North London for van blades, including laser cut, high-security profiles
- Key duplication and spare van keys to keep your team moving
- Erasing lost or stolen keys from the immobiliser to protect your vehicle
Dealer-level diagnostics: We use professional OBD2 and advanced diagnostic platforms for secure programming, and, where needed, EEPROM/ECU work for certain models. This lets us add keys, disable missing keys, and initialise immobiliser systems safely and correctly.
Popular vans covered include Ford Transit/Custom/Connect, Mercedes Sprinter and Vito, VW Transporter and Crafter, Vauxhall Vivaro and Movano, Renault Trafic and Master, Peugeot Partner and Boxer, Citroën Berlingo and Relay, Nissan Primastar and NV200, Toyota Proace, Fiat Ducato, and Iveco Daily.
- For many vans we can complete key cutting & programming in a single visit
- We stock common remotes and key blades for quick turnaround
- All new keys are tested thoroughly and supplied with a warranty

Ignition And Lock Repair For Vans And Commercials
Hard-working vans suffer wear. If your key won’t turn or keeps jamming, a lock or ignition repair may be all that’s needed. We cover:
- Broken car key extraction and damaged key blade replacement
- Ignition switch repair North London and barrel rebuilds to your existing key
- Steering lock repair for sticking or seized mechanisms
- Central locking faults and remote central locking repair
- Door and side cargo lock repair, including handle/lock module issues
Where possible we rekey replacement barrels to match your existing key, so you don’t end up with separate keys for the door and ignition. If components are too worn, we’ll replace them and pair to suit your operational needs. For more detail about symptoms and fixes, see our guide to car ignition repair North London.
Deadlocks, Slam Locks, And Security Upgrades
Courier and trade vans often use aftermarket deadlocks or slam locks for extra protection. We can:
- Help when slam locks have trapped your keys or a cylinder has failed
- Replace or rekey many common aftermarket cylinders
- Provide practical guidance on securing tool compartments, tailgates, and side doors
- Carry out vehicle security assessments and advise on anti-theft key programming options
If a specialist third-party lock requires destructive removal due to failure, we’ll replace the cylinder and tidy the installation so the door seals and operates properly again. We’ll always explain the options first.

- On-site key cutting and programming for new drivers or replacement remotes

FAQs
Can you make a van key without the original?
Yes. We can decode your locks to cut a new key, or in some cases remove a door lock to read the key code. We then program a new transponder chip so the immobiliser recognises it. For a few vehicles, EEPROM work may be required; we’ll advise if that’s the case.
Do you work with deadlocks and slam locks?
In many cases, yes. We can unlock, service, and replace common aftermarket cylinders. If a lock has failed mechanically or is protected by armour, drilling may be the only option; we’ll replace the affected cylinder and leave the door operating cleanly.
Can you erase lost or stolen keys from my van?
For most vans we can remove missing keys from the immobiliser memory and program new keys or remotes, improving security after a loss or theft. We’ll confirm what’s possible for your exact model and year.
Do you cover my area and can you come to my depot?
We’re a mobile car locksmith North London service covering all N postcodes. We regularly attend depots, loading bays, and on-street locations—whichever is safest and most convenient for you.
Can you help with keyless or proximity keys for vans?
Yes, for many models. We supply and program proximity keys and keyless entry remotes, then verify central locking and start/stop functions. Availability varies by brand and year; we’ll confirm on your call.
My van key won’t turn—do I need a new ignition?
Not always. Worn wafers, debris, or a damaged key blade can cause this. We can extract broken keys, rebuild or replace barrels, and rekey new parts to your existing key where possible to keep things simple.
