Our Hyundai Locksmith Process
We aim to keep things simple, transparent, and efficient:
- Diagnose the Problem
- We ask a few questions about your Hyundai model, year, the key type, and symptoms (e.g., smart key not detected, key symbol on dash, fob not responding).
- On arrival, we confirm the fault with diagnostic tools and test the battery/antenna systems for smart keys.
- Gain Access or Prepare the Key
- Locked out? We use non-destructive techniques to open the vehicle.
- Need a key? We decode the lock, cut a high-accuracy blade (including laser cut keys), and prepare the transponder/smart key.
- Program and Test
- Using OBD2 programming or, where required, EEPROM/immobiliser procedures, we pair the new key or fob to the car.
- We verify remote locking, starting, and steering lock release and confirm immobiliser status.
- Handover and Warranty
- We demonstrate your new key, provide care tips, and advise on spare keys.
- Our workmanship and keys are covered by our warranty for your peace of mind.

FAQs for Hyundai Key and Lock Issues
Can you make a new Hyundai key without the original?
Yes. We can decode your Hyundai’s lock, cut a new blade, and program a new transponder or smart key on-site. This avoids towing to a dealer and typically gets you back on the road the same day.
My Hyundai says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?
First, try the backup start procedure shown in your handbook (often holding the fob near the start button). If that fails, the fob battery, proximity antennas, or immobiliser sync could be at fault. We’ll test, re-sync, or program a replacement key if needed.
Will you damage my Hyundai when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible using specialist tools. In the rare event a component is too damaged to open safely, we’ll explain the options and costs before proceeding.
How long does Hyundai key programming take?
Most Hyundai transponder or smart keys can be programmed within 30–60 minutes once on-site, subject to the model and whether EEPROM/immobiliser work is required.
Do you provide spare Hyundai keys?
Absolutely. If you have one working key, we can cut and program a spare at your location—often cheaper and quicker than the dealer. See our car key replacement service for details.
What information do you need before attending?
Your Hyundai model and year, whether the key is remote or smart/proximity, the location of the vehicle, and proof of ID/ownership. A quick call helps us bring the right blanks and equipment.
