How Our Kia Key Solutions Work

We combine specialist Kia knowledge with dealer-level equipment to deliver quick, reliable results at the roadside or your driveway.

• Non-destructive entry wherever possible

  • We use professional lock-picking tools and techniques to open Kia vehicles without damage in the vast majority of cases. If drilling or part replacement is the only safe option (rare), we’ll explain why and get your consent before proceeding.

• On-site Kia key cutting and duplication

  • We cut high-accuracy laser and standard keys in our mobile units. Need a spare? We can duplicate your working Kia key on the spot.

• Kia transponder and smart key programming

  • Modern Kia keys contain a transponder chip that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where required for certain systems, EEPROM/ECU programming to pair new keys, remote fobs, and proximity/smart keys correctly.
  • We handle remote central locking synchronisation, proximity key replacement, and keyless entry programming for push-button start models.

• Immobiliser, ECU, and module support

  • If your Kia won’t start due to an immobiliser fault or a “key not detected” message, we can investigate with dealer-level diagnostics. Services include ECU/immobiliser programming, remote learning, and resolving key ID mismatches.

• Repairs and component replacements

  • Key fob repair and case refresh, flip key hinge repair, key blade replacement, and battery replacement with re-synchronisation.
  • Lock cylinder and ignition repairs for worn pins or jammed barrels; steering lock repair where applicable.

Our approach is designed to save you time and money versus the main dealer. We come to you, cut and program keys on-site, and aim to deliver same-day solutions so you’re not waiting for parts and towing.

FAQs: Kia Keys And Locks In Harrow

Can you make a new Kia key without the original?

Yes. We can generate a key from your Kia’s locks/ignition and program the transponder to the immobiliser. For push-to-start models, we program a new proximity key to the vehicle. Proof of ownership is required.

My Kia fob stopped working after a battery change—do I need programming?

Sometimes the remote just needs re-synchronising; in other cases it may require quick key fob programming. We can test the fob, replace the battery correctly, and re-pair it if needed.

How long does Kia key replacement take?

Many replacements are completed in one mobile visit. Simple spares can be 30–60 minutes; all-keys-lost or smart key jobs can take longer due to security and programming steps. We’ll advise based on your model and year.

Will you damage my Kia when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If a lock is severely damaged or a specific design demands otherwise, we’ll explain any exception before work begins.

Can you help if my Kia shows “Key not detected”?

Yes. We diagnose key, antenna, or immobiliser issues using dealer-level diagnostics, then repair or program as required to restore reliable starting.

Is this cheaper and quicker than going to a Kia dealer?

In most cases, yes. As a mobile auto locksmith we avoid towing and long waits. See the factors on our pricing page and contact us for a firm quote.
