Ford car keys

Ford car and Transit van keys, made at the car

From a Fiesta on the school run to a Transit Custom that a whole business depends on, Ford is one of the most common makes I’m called out for. Lost every key, need a spare, or a fob that’s stopped working — I come to you, so there’s no tow to a dealer.

Ford keys I can help with

Ford has used a few different styles of key over the years. Older Fiestas, Focuses and Transits often have a plain blade key with a separate or built-in remote. From around the late 2000s, the flip key — where the blade folds into the fob — became standard on most of the range.

Many newer Fords, including later Focus, Kuga and Puma models, have keyless entry and push-button start, where the key can stay in your pocket. Whichever type you have, a replacement has to be cut where there is a blade and programmed to your vehicle before it will start the engine.

Common Ford key problems

  • Every key lost — common with work vans where keys get passed between drivers.
  • Only one key left and you want a spare before that one goes too.
  • Flip key blade that won’t stay open, or a fob case that has split.
  • Remote buttons that have stopped locking and unlocking the doors.
  • Keyless fob not detected, so the car won’t start with the push button.

Not listed? I work on most Ford models, so call with the year and registration and I’ll confirm.

Transit and other Ford vans

Vans are a big part of the work I do. If a Transit is off the road, the job it does usually is too, so I come to wherever the van is — a site, a yard or outside your house — and get a working key made there. Most fleets also find it worth adding a spare for each van while I’m there.

How it works

  1. Tell me about the car. Call 07780 672297 or use the quote form. The model, year and registration help me confirm the right key for your Ford.
  2. I confirm the price by phone before anything is booked, then arrange a time to come to you at home, at work or at the roadside.
  3. The key is made at the car. Where there’s a blade, it’s cut to your locks, and the key is programmed so the Ford recognises it.
  4. Tested before I leave. I check the key opens the doors, the remote works and the engine starts.

Price

Ford keys vary a lot between models and years, so the price is always confirmed by phone before any work starts — no surprises when I arrive. Work comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Questions people ask

Can you make a Ford key if I’ve lost all of them?

Yes, for most Ford cars and vans. I come to the vehicle, cut a new key where it has a blade, and programme it to the car so it opens the doors and starts the engine. The make, model, year and registration help me confirm the job and the price by phone first.

Do you do keys for Ford Transit vans?

Yes. Transit, Transit Custom, Transit Connect and Transit Courier are some of the most common vehicles I work on. I can make a replacement if every key is lost, or add a spare so the van isn’t stuck if one goes missing.

My Ford flip key won’t stay open. Do I need a new key?

Not always. If the electronics still work, the case or the flip mechanism can often be replaced and your existing parts moved across. If the remote has also stopped working, I can make and programme a new key instead.

My Ford keyless fob isn’t being detected. What can I do?

A weak fob battery is a common first cause, so try a fresh one. If the car still won’t recognise it, call me. I can check the fob and, if it has failed, make and programme a replacement at the car.
