How We Work — Fast, Safe And Non-Destructive Wherever Possible
Our process is designed to get you back on the road with the minimum of fuss and risk to your vehicle.
- Call or contact us with your location in Raynes Park and a brief description of the problem.
- We discuss options and, where appropriate, give an immediate estimate. If the job is urgent we prioritise dispatch.
- Our mobile locksmith attends with fully equipped van and diagnostic tools. We attempt non-destructive entry first and explain any rare exceptions before working.
- If a new key is required we cut and programme on-site using dealer-level equipment such as OBD2 programmers, EEPROM services and laser key cutting machines. We test the key and immobiliser before leaving.
What do those technical terms mean? OBD2 is the vehicle diagnostic port used to communicate with the car’s immobiliser and ECU to add keys. EEPROM programming is a method used on some models to read and write security data from small memory chips. Transponder keys contain a small chip that the car’s immobiliser reads; we program those chips so new keys work exactly like originals.
We always aim for a non-destructive entry approach. In a tiny number of cases, damage (for example to a broken lock or severely corroded mechanism) cannot be avoided — we will explain the reason, the alternatives, and the cost before proceeding.

- Vehicle make and security system complexity
- Whether a transponder or proximity (smart) key is required
- Need for EEPROM or ECU programming steps
- Standard hours vs. emergency/after-hours attendance
