FAQs For Gidea Park Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. For many vehicles we can create a new key from the lock or via the vehicle’s OBD2 port and security data, then program it to the immobiliser. Some models may require EEPROM or ECU work. Ask about our secure process when you call.
Will you damage my car to unlock it?
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. In the rare case a lock is already damaged or a specific vehicle requires an alternative approach, we’ll explain the options and get your approval before any work.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, typically the same day depending on your location in RM2 and key type. Smart/proximity keys or advanced immobiliser systems can take longer due to programming steps.
Can you program smart and proximity keys?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, push-to-start systems, and proximity keys for most major brands using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 tools, and where needed, EEPROM or immobiliser programming.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles?
Yes. We work with Transits, Vivaro/Trafic, Sprinter/Crafter and other commercial vehicles, providing unlocking, key replacement, and programming for single vehicles and fleets. See our van and commercial locksmith services.
What should I do if my key fob stops working in RM2?
First, replace the fob battery. If it still fails, it may need reprogramming or there could be a central locking or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose and fix this—read more under key fob not working.
