How We Solve Your Car Key Or Lock Problem
We use modern, dealer-level methods and aim for non-destructive entry wherever possible. Our typical process:
- Quick Assessment
- We confirm your vehicle make, model, year, and the issue (lost, locked in, broken, or not starting).
- We advise realistic options, timeframes, and what ID you’ll need.
- Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry
- Using specialist lock picks, air wedges, and safe unlocking techniques, we open the car without damage in the vast majority of cases.
- On a handful of models with security deadlocking or severe faults, we may have to use alternative techniques; we’ll always explain options before any work.
- Cutting & Programming
- Keys cut from code or decoded locks, including laser-cut/high-security blades.
- Transponder and remote programming via OBD2 diagnostics; for more complex immobiliser systems and some 2024/2025 models, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming where needed.
- Testing & Handover
- We test lock/unlock, start, remote functions, and advise on battery health for your fob.
- You leave with a working key and guidance on keeping a reliable spare.
