How We Fix Car Key And Lock Problems
We combine specialist tools with non-destructive techniques wherever possible. Our approach is designed to protect your vehicle and save you time and money versus main dealer routes.
-
Initial assessment
We confirm your vehicle make, model, year, and the symptoms. This helps us choose the right method: non-destructive entry, on-site key cutting, or programming. -
Secure, non-destructive entry
For lockouts, we use professional lock-picking and air-wedge methods to open your vehicle without damage. In rare cases where drilling is required (for example, severely damaged locks), we’ll explain options and costs clearly before starting. -
On-site key cutting and programming
- OBD2 diagnostics: We connect dealer-level tools to the vehicle for coding new keys and remotes.
- Transponder and smart keys: We handle transponder key programming, remote key programming, and smart/proximity key set-up.
- EEPROM and immobiliser work: For certain models and immobiliser systems, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to create new keys when no working key exists.
- High-security and laser cut keys: Cut precisely on-board for a factory-accurate fit.
- Testing and handover
We test the mechanical key, buttons, central locking, and the immobiliser start function to ensure everything works reliably. You’ll receive guidance on battery care and safe storage for spares.
If you specifically need coding support, learn more about our dedicated car key programming service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key in Rusthall if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can create a new key without the original by referencing your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. Depending on make and model, we may use OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/ECU programming. This is often quicker and more convenient than using a main dealer.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our aim is non-destructive entry in nearly all cases, using specialist tools rather than force. If we encounter a severely damaged or tampered lock, we’ll explain any risks and get your approval before proceeding.

Do you program smart keys and proximity keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, transponder key programming, and proximity key replacement for most makes and models, including newer 2024/2025 vehicles.
Is it cheaper than going to a dealer?
In many situations, yes—especially for emergency unlocking, spare keys, or when you’ve lost your only key. We’re fully mobile and typically faster. For guidance without obligation, see our information on auto locksmith prices in Tunbridge Wells.
