FAQs: Citroën Keys and Locks
Can a locksmith make a Citroën key without the original?
Yes. With proof of ownership, we can create and programme a new Citroën key without the original. We use your vehicle’s data via OBD2 and, where required on certain models, advanced EEPROM/ECU methods to complete programming securely.
How long does Citroën key replacement take?
Many Citroën replacements are completed in one visit, often within the same appointment window. Timing depends on the model, key type (standard remote vs smart key), and whether we need to access immobiliser data via EEPROM.
Will you damage my Citroën during unlocking?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a component has already failed or is heavily damaged, we’ll explain the options and obtain your consent before proceeding.
Can you reprogramme my Citroën after keys were stolen?
Yes. We can erase missing keys from your Citroën’s immobiliser and programme new ones so stolen keys will no longer start the vehicle. Speak to us about securing your car after theft or loss. You can also review steps on lost or stolen car keys.
Do you cover Citroën vans like Berlingo and Relay?
Absolutely. We support Citroën vans and commercial vehicles, including Berlingo, Dispatch, and Relay, for key replacement, programming, unlocking, and ignition/lock repairs.
Is a locksmith faster and more affordable than a dealer for Citroën keys?
In many cases, yes. We come to you, avoid towing, and complete cutting and programming on-site. Learn more about value and factors on auto locksmith prices in North West London.
