Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open my car without damaging it?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible and carry specialist tools that allow us to open most modern cars without damage. If a non-destructive method isn’t feasible we will explain alternatives and get your permission before proceeding.
Can you make a new key if I’ve lost the original?
In most cases yes. We can create and program a new key for many makes and models on-site using dealer-level programming tools. Where a vehicle requires dealer-only intervention we’ll explain why and advise on next steps.
How long does it take to program a replacement key?
Timing varies by vehicle and key type. Basic transponder keys often take 20–45 minutes; smart or proximity keys and ECU/immobiliser work can take longer. We’ll give an estimated time when we diagnose on-site.

Yes. We provide mobile auto locksmith services across Berrylands (KT5) and the wider KT postcode area, including nearby neighbourhoods such as Surbiton, New Malden and Long Ditton.
