West Wickham FAQs
Can you make a new car key in West Wickham without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key without the original by decoding the lock and programming a new transponder/remote to your immobiliser system. We use dealer-level tools and, where necessary, EEPROM methods for certain makes and years.
Will you damage my car to unlock it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist automotive picks and access tools designed for vehicle locks. On rare occasions where minimal drilling or component removal is necessary (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain the reasons and costs clearly before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Most standard and remote keys can be cut and programmed during a single visit. Smart keys may take longer depending on the vehicle’s security system and data availability. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.
My key fob stopped working in the supermarket car park—what should I try first?
Try replacing the fob battery and moving away from potential radio interference sources. If that doesn’t help, we can test the fob signal and check for immobiliser or central locking faults. See our guide to key fob not working.
Do you cover evenings and weekends in BR4?
Yes. We provide emergency support outside normal hours. For urgent help, visit our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Bromley page or call us.
Is a locksmith faster than a main dealer for key replacement?
Often, yes. We come to your vehicle in West Wickham, so there’s no towing or waiting for parts ordering in many cases. Our mobile service can be both quicker and more convenient than a dealer visit.
