Car Key Cutting & Programming

Need a replacement car key cut and programmed?

Lost Key Rescue Auto Locksmith provides mobile car key cutting and programming for many cars and vans throughout Yateley and surrounding areas of Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey.

We carry specialist key-cutting, programming and diagnostic equipment in our mobile workshop, allowing many replacement and spare keys to be completed directly at your vehicle.

​

Mobile Car Key Cutting

Vehicle key blades come in many different designs and profiles, and modern car keys need to be cut accurately to operate the vehicle's locks or ignition.

Depending on the vehicle, we can cut replacement key blades for spare keys and lost-key situations using specialist automotive key-cutting equipment.

The correct blade and cutting method depends on your vehicle's make, model and year.

​

Car Key Programming

Cutting the physical key is only part of the process on most modern vehicles.

Many car keys contain an electronic transponder chip that communicates with the vehicle's immobiliser.

If the correct transponder isn't programmed to the vehicle, the key may physically turn the ignition but the engine will not start.

Using specialist automotive programming and diagnostic equipment, we can program keys to many cars and vans.

​

Transponder Key Programming

Transponder technology has been used in vehicle keys for many years.

When the key is used, the vehicle checks the transponder before allowing the engine to start.

Depending on your vehicle, we can program replacement transponder keys when creating a spare key or replacing a lost key.

​

Remote Key & Key Fob Programming

Many vehicle keys also incorporate remote central-locking functions.

Depending on the make and model, we can supply and program replacement remote keys and key fobs and pair their electronic functions with the vehicle.

If your remote has stopped working, we can also check whether the problem appears to be with the key or whether further vehicle diagnostics may be required.

​

Replacement & Spare Keys

Our car key cutting and programming service can be used for both replacement and spare keys.

If you still have a working key, we can check the options for creating a spare.

If all your keys have been lost, we may still be able to create and program a new key directly at the vehicle depending on the vehicle's key and immobiliser system.

​

Key & Immobiliser Diagnostics

Sometimes the problem isn't simply a lost or damaged key.

If your vehicle isn't recognising a key correctly, diagnostic equipment may be required to investigate the key and immobiliser system.

We carry automotive diagnostic and key-programming equipment that allows us to diagnose many key-related problems.
