When You Need A Renault Auto Locksmith
Renault vehicles use advanced immobiliser systems and, on many models, unique key cards. When something goes wrong, you need technicians who understand Renault-specific security and electronics. Call us if you’re experiencing:

- Locked keys in your Renault (boot or cabin)
- Renault key card not detected or key won’t turn
- Key snapped in door lock or ignition
- Central locking not working or intermittent on your Renault
- Faulty Renault key fob, worn buttons, or dead battery
- Car won’t start and a key symbol shows on the dash
- Need a spare Renault key or card for peace of mind
We work with popular Renault models every day, including Clio, Captur, Arkana, Megane, Scenic, Kadjar, Austral, Zoe (EV), Twingo, and van models such as Trafic and Master.

Renault Key Replacement And Programming – How It Works
Renault keys and key cards contain a transponder chip that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. Modern Renaults often use proximity/smart cards for keyless entry and push-to-start. Here’s how we restore access securely and efficiently:
- Assessment And Access
- We confirm your vehicle details (model, year, fuel type) and the symptoms.
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist non-destructive entry tools to open your Renault without damage. In rare cases where non-destructive methods cannot be used (due to severe lock damage or aftermarket security), we’ll explain options before any work.
- Cutting Your Renault Key Or Card Blade
- For key-blade models, we cut a precision key using laser-cut and high-security key machines aligned to your Renault’s lock code.
- If your key card includes an emergency blade, we can replace or cut that blade as well.
- Dealer-Level Programming
- We program the new key/card to your ECU/immobiliser using secure OBD2 methods, and where required, EEPROM/ECU programming for certain platforms.
- We can synchronise remote locking and start functions, and on proximity cards, ensure hands-free functionality works as intended.
- Security And Deletion Of Lost Keys
- Lost or stolen Renault keys can be electronically removed from the immobiliser memory so they can no longer start the car, improving your security.
- Testing And Warranty
- We test lock/unlock, start/stop, and proximity functions with you present.
- Our workmanship and keys/cards are covered by warranty for your peace of mind.

FAQs: Renault Keys And Lock Problems
Can you replace a Renault key card if I’ve lost the only one?
Yes. We can create and program a new Renault key card without the original. We’ll verify ownership, cut the emergency blade if needed, program the card to your immobiliser, and remove lost cards from memory for security.
My Renault says “Key Card Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try a fresh battery and use the emergency start procedure (often placing the card in a reader slot or near the steering column, depending on model). If it still fails, we can diagnose the card, antenna, or immobiliser and provide a repair or replacement on-site.
Can you program used Renault key cards?
In most cases, used Renault cards are locked to the original vehicle and cannot be reprogrammed. We recommend new, guaranteed cards which we supply and program with warranty.
How long does Renault key replacement take?
Most replacements are completed the same visit. Cutting and programming can take from 30–90 minutes depending on model, immobiliser type, and whether EEPROM/ECU programming is required.
Will you damage my Renault when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. If previous damage or certain lock states prevent this, we’ll explain the situation and agree next steps before proceeding.
Do you cover Renault vans like Trafic and Master?
Absolutely. We handle Renault Trafic and Master key cutting, programming, lockouts, and immobiliser issues for business and fleet customers across the TW area.
