Frequently Asked Questions
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. In many cases we can create a new key from the VIN or by decoding the lock and programming a blank transponder. The exact method depends on the vehicle make and year.
Will you damage my car when you unlock it?
We use non‑destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If damage is unavoidable (very rare), we will explain the reasons and cost before proceeding.
How long does key programming take?
Most on‑site programming jobs take between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on vehicle complexity. Complex ECU or immobiliser work that requires EEPROM reading may take longer.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in Burgh Heath?
Yes. We provide van and commercial locksmith services for vans, fleets and light commercial vehicles. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith services for more details.
Is a replacement key from a locksmith as good as a dealer key?
We use genuine‑quality blanks, dealer‑level programming tools and industry‑standard procedures. For many jobs we offer a faster, more affordable alternative to the main dealer without sacrificing security.
What identification do I need when getting a replacement key?
You will usually need to prove ownership (V5C or insurance documents) and provide ID. We follow secure verification procedures to prevent unauthorised key duplication.
