When You Call: Information That Helps Us Help You Faster

  • Your location (street, landmark, or car park level)
  • Vehicle make, model, year, and fuel type (petrol/diesel/hybrid/EV)
  • What happened (locked out, lost key, snapped key, fob dead, key not detected)
  • Any warnings (key symbol lit, immobiliser message, “no key detected”)
  • Whether you have a spare key (we can still help if you don’t)

With these details, we load the right key blanks, chips, and diagnostic tools to resolve the issue in one visit.

Safety And Damage-Free Entry

We understand the worry of scratches, broken glass, or alarm issues. Our emergency car locksmiths use specialist lishi picks, air wedges, mapping tools, and manufacturer-aligned methods to open doors and boots without damage wherever possible. Rarely, on certain high-security locks or heavily damaged cylinders, safe drilling or component replacement may be necessary. We will always explain options, risks, and costs before proceeding.

Rapid Solutions For Modern Keys And Immobilisers

Today’s vehicles rely on coded transponders and digital security. A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car and allows it to start. If the chip isn’t recognised, the engine won’t crank—even if the blade turns. Our technicians:

  • Read PIN codes and programme new keys/fobs to your immobiliser
  • Sync remote locking and keyless entry systems
  • Diagnose immobiliser faults using dealer-level OBD2 equipment
  • Perform EEPROM programming for certain models where OBD2 is insufficient
  • Supply and cut high-security and laser cut car keys

This means you get dealership-level results at the roadside, without towing or waiting days for a booking.

Common Emergency Scenarios We Resolve

  • Locked keys in car in a supermarket or gym car park in Whitton or Teddington
  • Smart key not detected outside a home in St Margarets or Strawberry Hill
  • Key snapped in ignition after work in Richmond or Isleworth
  • Lost only key after a matchday in Twickenham town centre
  • Boot locked with keys inside at a riverside spot in Ham or Kew
  • Fob battery changed, now car won’t start in Hounslow or Feltham
  • Van immobiliser fault on a job in Sunbury or Shepperton

If any of these sound familiar, don’t worry—call now and we’ll talk you through the next steps while we’re on the way.

FAQs

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, protecting your paintwork, windows, and locks. If a lock is already damaged or a specific model requires drilling to prevent greater damage, we’ll explain the options first and proceed only with your approval.

Can you make a new key if I’ve lost the original?

Yes. We can create a new key without the original by decoding your locks, cutting a new blade, and performing car key programming to match your immobiliser. This is an alternative to dealer key replacement and avoids towing. For more on lost keys, see lost or stolen car keys.

How quickly can you get me back on the road?

Unlocking can be very quick, and many replacements are completed on-site the same visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type, and the issue. We focus on efficient dispatch across the TW area to minimise your wait.

Can you help with push-to-start and smart keys?

Absolutely. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry programming for most brands, including 2024/2025 models. If your car says “key not detected,” call us—our OBD2 diagnostics can identify whether it’s a key, battery, or immobiliser issue.

My key snapped in the ignition—what should I do?

Do not force it or try to pry the remainder out. Call us for broken ignition key extraction. We have the tools to remove the fragment safely and assess whether ignition repair or replacement is needed. For related issues, see car lock and ignition issues.

Do you cover evenings, weekends, and holidays?

Yes. Emergency support is available for out-of-hours situations. Whether it’s late at night or a bank holiday, call us and we’ll advise on immediate assistance.
