FAQs
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist tools designed for vehicle locks. If your lock or deadlock security means a non-destructive method isn’t feasible, we’ll explain the situation, outline options, and get your approval before proceeding.
Can you help late at night, at weekends, or on bank holidays?
Yes. We offer emergency support for evenings, weekends, and holidays across Harrow. Call us and we’ll dispatch a mobile auto locksmith to your location.
My key has snapped in the ignition—what should I do?
Don’t try to force it out. We provide broken ignition key extraction using specialist tools to remove the fragment without damaging the barrel where possible. We can then cut and program a replacement key on-site.
For more detail on this problem, see broken car key support.
The car says “key not detected” and won’t start—can you fix it?
Often yes. This can be due to a dead fob battery, transponder communication fault, or immobiliser sync issue. We perform diagnostics, replace the fob battery if needed, and can reprogram or replace the key/fob using dealer-level tools.
For persistent fob issues, visit key fob not working.
Can you make a new key if I’ve lost my only one?
Yes. We can create a new key without the original, then program it to your immobiliser. We can also erase the lost key from your vehicle so it can’t be used to start the car.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles?
We do. From car-derived vans to Transits and other commercial vehicles, we offer unlocking, key replacement, and programming. Learn more on our van and commercial locksmith page.
