  • Can a locksmith replace my car key without the original?

    Yes, most professional locksmiths can replace a lost car key without needing the original. Using your vehicle identification number (VIN) and specialised tools, they can cut and program a new key to match your vehicle. This includes transponder and remote keys for modern cars. You’ll usually need to provide proof of ownership before work begins.

  • What is a transponder key and do I need one?

    A transponder key contains a chip that communicates with your vehicle’s immobiliser system. If the code doesn’t match, the car won’t start. Most cars built after 1995 use transponder technology. If you’ve lost your key, replacing it will usually require chip programming to ensure your new key is accepted by the vehicle.

  • What should I do if my key breaks in the ignition or door?

    If your key snaps inside the lock or ignition, avoid using tools to remove it yourself, as this may cause further damage. A qualified locksmith can extract the broken piece safely and either repair or replace the key on the spot. They can also assess whether the lock or ignition has sustained any internal damage.
