Security and Modern Vehicle Systems
Today’s cars use immobilisers and coded transponders that “handshake” with your vehicle. A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser; if they don’t match, the engine won’t start. Our equipment allows us to pair new keys to your car securely, including:
- Transponder key coding and cloning
- Smart/proximity key programming for push-to-start systems
- Remote central locking programming
- ECU/immobiliser programming and module synchronisation
- High-security laser key cutting and key blade replacement
Where necessary, we can perform EEPROM work on certain models to retrieve pin codes and programme keys accurately—this is especially useful for some VW Group, BMW, and older Mercedes vehicles.

FAQs for West Hendon Drivers
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks or security data and then programme it to your immobiliser. This is often quicker than arranging dealer recovery. Read more about car key replacement.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In the rare event that drilling or component removal is required (for example, a heavily damaged lock), we’ll explain the reason and get your permission first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit, often the same day depending on parts availability and the vehicle model. Call us with your make, model, and year for an accurate timeframe.
My key fob stopped working in a West Hendon car park—what should I do?
Try a spare battery if you have one. If that doesn’t help, the fob may need reprogramming or repair. We offer diagnostics and key fob programming service on-site in NW9.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles around The Hyde and Colindale?
Yes. We handle Transit, Vivaro, Sprinter, Caddy, and many more—spare keys, replacements, remote repairs, and lock/ignition issues. See our van and commercial locksmith.
