Losing the only key feels like the end of the world, but for most cars it is a routine job. The locksmith opens the car with tools made for the purpose, reads the lock to cut a new blade, then plugs into the car and programs the new key to its immobiliser. The car does not need to move.
On most vehicles the lost key can be wiped from the car's memory at the same time. If it turns up in the wrong hands later, it will not start the engine.
What the price depends on
Three things: the make and model, the year, and the type of key. A basic chipped key for an older hatchback is a much smaller job than a keyless fob for a newer SUV. That is why we ask what you drive before we quote. You get one clear figure for your vehicle, and nothing is booked until you say yes.
What you need to have with you
Photo ID and something that shows the vehicle is yours, such as the V5C logbook, an insurance document or a finance agreement. No proof, no key. It is the rule that stops somebody else getting a key made for your car.
Dealer or locksmith
A main dealer can order a key from the manufacturer, but that usually means getting the car to them, and with no key that means a recovery truck. Ordered keys can take days to arrive. A mobile locksmith makes the key at the car. For a few of the newest models the dealer is the only option, and if yours is one of them we tell you straight away.

Lost car keys: common questions
Can you make a key without the original?
Yes. The blade is cut from the lock itself or from the car's key code, and the new key is programmed to the car on site.
Will the lost key still work if someone finds it?
On most cars it can be deleted from the car's memory during the job, so it will no longer start the engine. Ask us and we will confirm for your vehicle.
How long does it take?
It depends on the car. Many are done in about an hour once the locksmith is with you, and some take longer. We tell you what to expect when we give you the price.
Do I need to get the car towed anywhere?
No. The work is done where the car is parked.
What if I find my keys after I have booked?
Tell us straight away. If the locksmith has not set off and no key has been ordered for your car, there is nothing to pay.
