Non-destructive vehicle entry
For lockouts, we use specialist lock-picking tools, air wedges, and access techniques designed for your make and model. The aim is always non-destructive entry. We won’t break windows or force doors. -
Car key cutting and programming
- Cutting: We laser-cut or edge-cut keys on site using your vehicle’s key code or by decoding the lock.
- Programming: Using dealer-level equipment, we carry out transponder and remote programming via OBD2. For certain brands or immobiliser systems (including some VAG/BMW/Mercedes), we may use EEPROM or ECU programming to complete a reliable, secure pair.
- Smart/proximity keys: We support keyless entry and push-to-start systems, including emergency start procedures when available.
- Testing and aftercare
We test lock/unlock, remote functions, and engine start. We’ll also provide advice on key care, battery replacements, and security steps (e.g., key deletion for stolen keys).
