FAQs For Orpington Drivers

Can you make a car key without the original in Orpington?

Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN data, immobiliser information and key code (where accessible), we can cut and program a new key without the original. Methods vary by make and model; we’ll explain the best route for your car.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

Our goal is non-destructive entry using professional lock-picking and air wedge tools. In rare cases—such as severely damaged or aftermarket locks—we’ll discuss options first and obtain your approval before any work that might risk minor damage.

How long does it take to get a new car key in Orpington?

Many keys can be produced and programmed during a single visit, often within the same appointment window. Times vary by vehicle, key type (standard, remote, smart/proximity) and immobiliser security.

My key fob has stopped working near The Walnuts. What should I do?

First, try a fresh battery if you have one. If it still fails, the issue may be programming, button wear, water ingress or immobiliser sync. We can diagnose on-site and provide key fob repair or replacement as required. See key fob not working.

Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles around Orpington?

Absolutely. We support popular vans like Ford Transit, VW Transporter and Vauxhall Vivaro for unlocking, key replacement, programming and lock/ignition work. See van and commercial locksmith.

What should I do if I’ve lost my only car key in BR6?

Stay calm and contact us. We can come to you, verify ownership, then cut and program a new key. If theft is suspected, we can deauthorise the missing key from the immobiliser so it can no longer start the car. See lost or stolen car keys.
