When You Need a BMW Auto Locksmith
BMWs use advanced immobiliser systems and high-security keys. When there’s a key or lock issue, it’s important to use a specialist with the right tools and training. Common situations we help with include:
- Lost BMW keys or stolen keys requiring secure replacement and immobiliser re-coding
- Locked keys in your BMW (including keys locked in the boot)
- BMW key fob not working, intermittent locking, or “key not detected” messages
- Car won’t start, key symbol on dash, or key won’t turn in the ignition
- Broken or snapped BMW key blades, or worn remote/fob housings
- Central locking problems or driver’s door not responding
- Need a spare BMW key, remote fob, or proximity smart key for peace of mind
If any of these sound familiar, our mobile BMW locksmiths can diagnose and fix the problem on the spot across Harrow, Harrow on the Hill, Wealdstone, Pinner, Northwood, Ruislip, Eastcote, Stanmore, Edgware, Wembley, and all HA postcodes.

FAQs: BMW Keys, Fobs, and Locks
Can you make a BMW key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new BMW key without the original. We securely verify ownership, then cut and programme a key to your vehicle’s immobiliser system using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM/ECU methods where required.
My BMW says “key not detected.” What should I do?
First, try replacing the fob battery and hold the fob near the steering column or designated area (varies by model). If it still won’t detect, the fob may need re-synchronising or there may be an antenna or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose and fix this on-site. See our advice on key fob not working.
How long does BMW key programming take?
Most BMW key programming jobs are completed in one visit. Time varies by model, year, and system (e.g., CAS, FEM, BDC). We’ll advise an accurate timeframe when you call, and we complete full functional testing before we leave.
Can you unlock my BMW without damage?
Yes, our BMW lockout service uses non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock has a severe mechanical fault and minimal damage is unavoidable, we’ll explain the options and obtain your approval first.
Do you offer spare BMW keys?
Absolutely. We can supply and programme spare BMW remote keys and proximity smart keys at your location, which is often more convenient and faster than visiting a dealer. See our car key replacement service.
Do you cover BMWs across Harrow and nearby?
Yes. Our mobile team serves all HA postcodes including Harrow, Pinner, Northwood, Ruislip, Stanmore, Edgware, and Wembley. View the full list of areas we cover.
