FAQs For Hatch End Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damage outside Hatch End station?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged and drilling is the safest route, we’ll explain and agree next steps before work begins.
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can create keys from your vehicle’s lock/immobiliser data using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 and, when needed, EEPROM techniques. Proof of ownership is required.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Hatch End?
Many keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit. Timing depends on the make, model and key type. We’ll provide an estimated timescale when you call.
My key fob stopped working—do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes a new battery or re-synchronisation fixes it. If the transponder is faulty or the fob is water-damaged, we can repair or replace it and complete key fob programming.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in HA5?
Yes. We provide emergency support across Hatch End and nearby HA areas during evenings, weekends and holidays. See our emergency auto locksmith in Harrow page.
