When You Need A Nissan Auto Locksmith
Nissan owners across Bromley call us for a wide range of key and lock issues. Common situations include:
- Lost or stolen Nissan keys and no spare
- Locked keys in your Nissan, including in the boot
- Nissan key snapped in the door lock or ignition
- Car won’t start and the key symbol is showing on the dash
- Nissan remote or smart key not detected

We cover popular Nissan models every day, including Qashqai, Juke, Micra, Leaf, Note, X-Trail, Pulsar, Navara, NV200/NV300 vans, and many more. Whether your Nissan uses a traditional transponder key, a flip remote, or a smart/proximity i-Key for push-to-start, we can help quickly and professionally.
If you’ve lost your only key, don’t worry. We can create a new key from scratch at your location, erase old keys from the immobiliser for security, and synchronise everything so you’re back on the road with minimal fuss.
How We Solve Nissan Key And Lock Problems
We use non-destructive methods wherever possible. Before any work, we assess your Nissan’s lock and immobiliser system to choose the safest, most efficient approach.
-
Vehicle unlocking without damage
- We use specialist lock picks and access tools to open most Nissan models non-destructively. In rare cases where drilling a lock is the only safe option, we’ll explain why and replace the lock to the same standard.
-
Cutting and programming Nissan keys
- We cut laser and standard Nissan key blades precisely from your VIN or the lock itself. For programming, we use OBD2 diagnostics and, where required on certain immobiliser systems, EEPROM/ECU programming to pair new keys reliably.
- Transponder key programming: We pair the chip in your key to your Nissan’s immobiliser so the car recognises it.
- Remote key and smart i-Key programming: We synchronise lock/unlock, boot release, and proximity functions including push-button start.
- Keyless entry and proximity keys: We can supply, program, and replace Nissan smart keys, including emergency start procedures if your fob battery has failed.
-
Fault finding and repairs
- If your Nissan key fob has stopped working, we test the fob, replace the battery where applicable, and reprogram or repair the remote if needed.
- Ignition and lock issues: We repair or replace worn barrels, resolve key-turn problems, and address steering lock faults on applicable models.
-
Security updates after key loss
- If your keys were stolen, we can erase old keys from the system so they no longer start your vehicle and, if needed, rekey door and ignition cylinders for full peace of mind.
Our equipment and training are on par with main dealers. We invest in dealer-level diagnostic platforms for late-model Nissans (including 2024/2025 systems), ensuring reliable immobiliser pairing and smart key programming.

Helpful Scenarios And Tips For Nissan Owners
-
Locked keys in car or boot
- Stay calm. Avoid DIY coat-hanger methods—they often damage weather strips and sensors. Call us for non-destructive entry.
-
Smart key not detected
- Try holding the fob against the start button or designated backup area (varies by model). If that fails, we can check the fob, replace the battery, and reprogram if necessary.
-
Car won’t start, key symbol on dash
- This usually indicates an immobiliser communication issue. We can diagnose with OBD2; if needed, we’ll program a new transponder or repair the existing key.
-
Snapped key blade
- Keep all pieces. We can often cut a perfect replacement and, if needed, extract broken fragments from the lock or ignition without damage.

FAQs For Nissan Auto Locksmith Services
Can you make a Nissan key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Nissan key from scratch, even if you’ve lost all keys. We decode the lock or use your vehicle’s information to cut a precise blade and then program the transponder/remote to your immobiliser system.
Do you program Nissan smart keys and proximity i-Keys?
Absolutely. We supply and program smart i-Keys for models like Qashqai, Juke, Leaf, and X-Trail. We pair both the immobiliser and keyless entry functions so push-to-start works as expected.
Will you damage my Nissan when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where a lock is severely damaged or inaccessible, we’ll explain options clearly and obtain your approval before any work that could require part replacement.
How long does it take to replace a Nissan key?
Most replacements are completed at the roadside in one visit. Timing depends on model, key type, and immobiliser generation, but our mobile service is typically much faster than ordering through a dealer.
