Non-Destructive Dacia Vehicle Unlocking
Locked your keys in the Dacia boot at Lakeside or at home in Gidea Park? Our specialists use advanced lock picks and air wedge techniques to gain entry without damage in the vast majority of cases. We will always attempt non-destructive entry first and explain any rare exceptions up front.

FAQs For Dacia Keys And Locks
Can you make a new Dacia key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Dacia key or key card without the original using immobiliser data and dealer-level programming. For some models, EEPROM or ECU/UCH programming may be needed when all keys are lost.
My Dacia key fob is not working. Do I need a new one?
Not always. Sometimes a new battery and re-synchronisation fix the issue. If the fob PCB or transponder is damaged, we can repair or replace and then program it. See more on our key fob not working page.
Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases of severe lock damage or security deadlocks, minor component replacement may be necessary; we’ll explain before proceeding.
How long does Dacia key programming take?
For a spare key, often under an hour once on site. For all keys lost or immobiliser faults, allow longer for diagnostics and programming, especially if EEPROM-level work is required.
Do you cover evenings and weekends?
Yes. We provide emergency assistance across Romford and the RM area. For urgent help, visit our emergency auto locksmith in Romford page or call us.
Can you delete lost or stolen Dacia keys from the system?
Where supported, yes. We can remove missing keys from the immobiliser to prevent them starting the vehicle, then add your new keys securely.
