Car keys stolen? Lock the old ones out.

If somebody has your key, the car is at risk until that key is wiped from it. A locksmith deletes the stolen key from the car's memory and makes you new ones where the car is parked.

What to do first

Report it to the police on 101, or online, and keep the crime reference number. Tell your insurer, because many policies cover stolen keys and some want to know before any work is done. If you can, move the car somewhere out of sight or block it in until the keys are dealt with.

Deleting the stolen key

The car keeps a list of the keys it will accept. The locksmith plugs in and clears the stolen key from that list, then programs the keys you want to keep. The stolen key will no longer start the engine.

Do the locks need changing?

Deleting the key stops the car being driven away, and on most cars it stops the remote buttons too. The metal blade would still turn the door lock. If the thief knows where the car is kept, changing or recoding the locks closes that gap. We will tell you what is worth doing for your car.

Stolen keys: common questions

Will my insurance pay for this?

Many policies cover stolen keys, sometimes with an excess. Ring your insurer and ask before you book. We can give you an itemised quote and invoice for the claim.

How fast can the stolen key be deleted?

As soon as a locksmith can get to you. We give you the earliest time when you get in touch.

Can you do it if every key was stolen?

Yes. New keys are made for the car and the stolen ones are deleted in the same job.
