Replacing a car key needn’t be stressful. We are your one stop shop for replacement car keys – we can order, cut and programme the majority of car keys – and if we can’t help, we’ll tell you straight away. Our mobile car key replacement service means we will come to wherever your vehicle is to replace keys, saving you the hassle and cost of having to get your vehicle recovered if all the car keys have been lost. Even if you have just snapped the blade of the key, we will be able to cut you a new blade without having to replace the whole remote – helping you to keep costs down. Whatever the problem, contact us and we can help.
We highly recommend having a spare key for the vehicle even if it’s not a full remote key. It’s always worth having an additional key cut and programmed when you replace your lost key, so that you have a backup for the future.
If your keys have been lost or stolen, the security of the vehicle has been compromised. We can delete the old keys of your vehicle’s ECU unit and create brand new keys, restoring the security on your car. This is a much quicker and overall cheaper option than getting your vehicle recovered to the dealership!
If your keys are locked inside your vehicle, don’t panic! We can gain entry using the latest picks – and no damage will be done to the vehicle or lock. We never drill or damage the door!
If you are down to your last car or van key, we would recommend getting it cloned just in case. Cloning is a straight forward process and could save you a lot of time and money.
Have all your van or car keys been lost? We can programme keys for many types of vehicle at the roadside, avoiding lengthy delays in obtaining the parts from the dealers.
Broken keys are a regular occurrence and often due to wear and tear. Broken keys can be extracted using various locksmith tools but in some instances the car lock will need to be stripped down in order to remove the obstruction. If you notice any bends or splits in your van or car keys we would recommend getting them replaced before they break!
Sometimes the keys may not be the defective components. Lock mechanisms also suffer wear and tear. Lock sets can be replaced or in many cases we can obtain spares and replace the defective part.
Transponder is the name given to the 'chip' that is located within the ignition key. It holds unique identification information about the vehicle and communicates via the transceiver. Transceiver is the name given to the aerial ring around the ignition barrel, it works by sending a voltage signal to the key and reads the returned signal voltage from the key and then in turn deactivates the immobiliser. If a non-programmed has been inserted into the ignition you will get a flashing warning light.
Remote's work by relaying radio frequencies between it and your vehicle. Most remote's work separately from the transponder but in some cases the transponder is built in with the remote. For example you can have a remote programmed to the vehicle and it will work the central locking but with out a working transponder it will not start the vehicle. Programming is done by diagnostics or manually and this will depend on your vehicle.
All key blades have a key number from which they are cut to and this number will be unique to your vehicle unless its had a lock change. The key number identifies how many cuts the key has and what depths they are. The profile of the key is referring to its shape, some vehicle keys look similar but there profile will be different. We provide the service for all vehicle key cutting.
