Lost all your car keys? I can make a new one at the car

What “all keys lost” means

It’s an all keys lost job when there’s no working key left for the vehicle at all. Maybe the only key was lost on a night out, stolen with a bag, left on a train or simply vanished. It happens more often than you’d think.

Without a key to copy, a new one has to be made from scratch. The blade is cut to suit the car’s locks, and the new key is programmed to the car so the engine will start. Where possible, the old missing key is removed from the car’s memory at the same time, so it won’t start the car if it turns up in the wrong hands.

Why not go to the dealer?

A dealer will usually want the car brought to them, which means a tow or a flatbed if you can’t drive it. Then there’s often a wait for a key to be ordered in. As a mobile locksmith I come to the car, whether it’s on your drive, in a work car park or in a supermarket car park, and most jobs are sorted in one visit.

How it works

1. Call me on 07780 672297 or use the quote form and choose “I’ve lost all my keys!”. Give me the registration and where the car is.
2. I confirm the price by phone and let you know when I can get to you.
3. I check ownership, then get into the car and make the new key at the vehicle.
4. The key is tested on the locks and ignition. If you’d like a second key while I’m there, it’s much cheaper to do it now than to need another all keys lost job later.

What to have ready

• The V5C logbook or other proof the vehicle is yours, and photo ID. I won’t make a key for a vehicle without it, which protects you as well.
• Your registration, and the make, model and year if you know them.
• The exact location of the car, such as the street, car park or postcode.
• Any spare that might be at home but not working. Even a broken key can sometimes help.

Cars and vans I cover

I make keys for most makes and models, including Ford, Vauxhall, VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT, Peugeot, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, BMW, MINI, Hyundai, Kia, Honda and Land Rover, and work vans. A few newer or prestige models need checking first, so I’ll always confirm before booking.

Price

All keys lost jobs vary more than spares, depending on the make, model, year and type of key. Send the quote form for an approximate guide, and I’ll confirm the exact price by phone before any work starts. Work comes with a 1-year guarantee.
