FAQs For Lenham Drivers
Can you make a new car key without the original in Lenham?
Yes. In most cases we can create a key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. We read the necessary information via OBD2 or, for certain models, by accessing immobiliser EEPROM data. This allows us to cut and program a working key even if you’ve lost the only one.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, such as professional lock picks and manufacturer-appropriate tools. In rare cases where a lock has failed internally or has been damaged previously, we’ll explain your options—including any minor destructive steps—before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a replacement car key in Lenham?
Many replacements are completed in a single visit, often within the same appointment window. Timing depends on vehicle make/model, key type (standard, remote, or smart), and whether immobiliser data access is needed. Call us and we’ll give you a clear time estimate based on your vehicle.
Can you program smart and proximity keys for push-to-start cars?
Yes. We provide smart key programming and proximity key replacement for many brands including Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Kia and Hyundai. We’ll confirm compatibility when you contact us with your registration or VIN.
Is it cheaper and quicker than a main dealer?
Often, yes. We’re a mobile auto locksmith, so we come to you in Lenham and handle cutting and programming on-site—no towing, no waiting for dealer appointments. This saves time and can reduce overall costs compared with a dealer visit.
Do you provide keys for vans and commercial vehicles?
We do. We supply and program keys for popular vans like Ford Transit/Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, Renault Trafic, Mercedes Sprinter, and VW Transporter, and assist with cargo lock and central locking issues for fleets and sole traders in ME17.
