When You Need a Citroën Auto Locksmith
Citroën vehicles use modern immobiliser systems and a range of key types (including flip keys, remote fobs, and smart/proximity keys). Here are common situations where our Harrow car locksmiths can help:
- Lost or stolen Citroën keys and no spare
- Locked keys in the car or boot
- Citroën key snapped or damaged; broken blade on flip key
- Citroën key won’t turn or is stuck in the ignition
- Key fob not responding or intermittent remote locking
- Car won’t start; key symbol on dash or “key not detected”
- Need a spare Citroën key for peace of mind
- Central locking problems or driver’s door not responding
If any of these sounds familiar, we can diagnose the fault and get you moving again with a reliable, cost-effective solution. You can also read more on specific issues like key fob not working and lost or stolen car keys.
How We Fix Citroën Key and Lock Problems
We combine specialist knowledge of Citroën immobilisers with advanced tools to deliver a quick, safe solution. Our process keeps stress low and communication clear.
-
Friendly Assessment
We confirm your vehicle model, year, and the symptoms. We’ll advise the best route, whether that’s non-destructive entry, key repair, or making and programming a new key at the roadside. -
Secure, Non-Destructive Entry
Locked out of your Citroën? We use professional, non-destructive techniques wherever possible to gain entry without damaging locks or weather seals. In very rare scenarios where drilling or component replacement is unavoidable (for example, severely damaged locks), we will explain the reasons and get your approval first. -
Citroën Key Cutting and Coding
We cut laser or conventional blades with precision and carry out transponder and remote programming using dealer-level diagnostics. Depending on the platform, we use OBD2 key programming or, where required by older or security-locked systems, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming. This covers:
- Transponder key programming for models using ID46/ID48 systems
- Remote key programming for flip keys and fobs
- Smart/proximity key programming for push-to-start models
- ECU / immobiliser synchronisation after lost keys
-
Thorough Testing
We test starting, immobiliser handshake, remote locking/unlocking, and, where applicable, hands-free entry. You drive away with a working key and clear guidance on usage and care. -
Aftercare and Warranty
Our workmanship and supplied keys come with warranty. If you need a spare later, we can clone or program an additional key quickly and cost-effectively.
Citroën Models We Regularly Support
We work across the Citroën range, including cars, MPVs, and vans:
- Citroën C1, C2, C3, C3 Aircross, C3 Picasso, C4, C4 Cactus, C4 Picasso/SpaceTourer, C5, C5 Aircross

Dealer-Level Capability Without The Dealer Hassle
Citroën immobiliser platforms can vary between model years. Some require PIN extraction and immobiliser synchronisation before new keys can be authorised. Our tools and training allow us to:
- Read immobiliser data safely and legally
- Extract PINs when required for programming
- Program remotes and transponders via OBD2
- Use EEPROM methods if the OBD route is restricted
- Adapt ECUs and BSI modules when keys are lost
In practical terms, you get a working key faster, without towing the car to a dealership. Many customers also find our approach more affordable than a dealer pathway, especially for urgent scenarios.

FAQs: Citroën Keys And Locks
Can you make a new Citroën key without the original?
Yes. With proof of ownership, we can create and program a new key from scratch. Depending on model and year, this may involve OBD2 programming, reading immobiliser data, or EEPROM methods.
My Citroën key fob is not working. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a battery or worn buttons. We test, repair, and reprogram where viable. If replacement is the better option, we’ll advise and supply a compatible remote.
Can you unlock my Citroën without damage?
Yes, we use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a component is already damaged or seized, we will talk you through options before any work.
How long does Citroën key programming take?
Many jobs are completed in one visit, often the same day. Times vary by model, key type, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give an accurate estimate when you call.
Do you cover Citroën vans such as Berlingo, Dispatch, and Relay?
Absolutely. We regularly handle keys and locks for Citroën vans and other commercial vehicles across Harrow and the HA postcode area.
Is a locksmith cheaper and faster than a dealer for Citroën keys?
In many cases, yes—particularly for lost keys or lockouts. You avoid recovery/towing and get on-site service. For more details on value, see our auto locksmith prices in Harrow.
