If you need Dacia key replacement in Harrow, our specialist auto locksmiths are here to help. As a local, mobile team with 10+ years’ experience, we provide Dacia car key programming, cutting, and emergency vehicle unlocking across Harrow and the HA postcode area. Whether your key fob has stopped working, you’ve lost your only key, or you’re locked out, we’ll get you moving again quickly and safely.
Common Dacia Key and Lock Problems We Solve
Dacia vehicles use immobiliser systems and transponder chips to prevent theft. When there’s a fault with the key, chip, or lock, the car won’t open or start. We routinely fix:
- Lost or stolen Dacia car keys
- Broken or snapped keys and damaged blades
- Key stuck in ignition, or ignition key won’t turn
- Dacia key card or key fob not responding
- Central locking problems and boot lockouts
- Replacement and programming for spare keys
- ECU/immobiliser synchronisation after battery or module issues
If you’re locked out, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is the safest option, we explain everything upfront before proceeding.
For scenario-led guidance, you can also see our pages on lost or stolen car keys, broken car keys, and key fob not working.

How Dacia Key Programming Works
Modern Dacia keys contain a transponder—a tiny chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser to allow it to start. If the chip isn’t recognised, the engine won’t crank. Our process is designed to be quick and secure:
-
Diagnose and Verify
We verify the key and immobiliser status using dealer-level diagnostics. For key fob issues, we test battery, PCB, and signal output. -
Non-Destructive Entry (If Locked Out)
We gain access using specialist tools to avoid damage. You keep use of all doors, locks and seals as normal after entry. -
Program the Key
Using OBD2 programming (and EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming when required), we code the new Dacia key or fob to your vehicle so it starts reliably. -
Cut and Test
We laser-cut or standard-cut the blade to code, pair any remote or smart functions, and test central locking and starting. -
Secure and Advise
If keys were lost or stolen, we can erase old keys from your immobiliser so they can’t be used to start the car. We’ll also provide care tips and, where relevant, a spare key recommendation.

FAQs: Dacia Keys and Locks
Can you make a Dacia car key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Dacia key without the original by accessing the vehicle’s immobiliser data and cutting a blade to code. We then pair the key via OBD2 or EEPROM/ECU programming as required.
My Dacia key fob is not responding. Do I need a new key?
Not always. Sometimes it’s just a dead battery or worn buttons. We can test the fob, repair or replace its case/PCB, and reprogram if needed. See our guidance on a key fob not working.
Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a lock is already damaged or a specific fault requires it, we’ll explain the safest option first and get your consent before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new Dacia key?
Many replacements can be completed the same visit. Timing depends on model, key type (standard, remote, or smart/proximity), and whether it’s a lost-all-keys scenario. We’ll confirm timescales when you call.
Is a locksmith faster than a main dealer for Dacia keys?
Often, yes. As a mobile service we come to you, so there’s no towing or long workshop queues. We hold specialist tools to program keys roadside, which typically saves days versus dealer lead times. For more on value and factors, see our auto locksmith prices in Harrow.
Do you cover Dacia vans and fleets?
Yes, we work with commercial and fleet vehicles. Ask about spare keys for drivers and on-site programming to minimise downtime. You can also explore our van and commercial locksmith service.
