1) Rapid Assessment at Your Location
- We dispatch a mobile Renault locksmith across Bromley and all BR postcodes.
- We verify ownership and carry out quick diagnostics via the OBD2 port or bench tools as appropriate.
- We confirm the fault—key card failure, battery issue, immobiliser sync loss, damaged lock, or something else.
2) Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry Wherever Possible
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open your Renault without damage wherever possible.
- In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the only safe option (for example, severely damaged locks), we’ll explain the risks and get your agreement before proceeding.
If you’re locked out now, learn more here: Vehicle Unlocking.

FAQs: Renault Auto Locksmith in Bromley
Can you replace a Renault key card without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Renault key card without the original using dealer-level diagnostics and immobiliser programming at your location.
My Renault says “Key Card Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try replacing the card battery and holding the card near the start button or reader slot if your model has one. If it still won’t detect, it may be a card, antenna, or immobiliser sync issue. We can diagnose and resolve this on-site.
How long does Renault key replacement take?
In many cases, we can cut and program a Renault key or key card within one visit. Most jobs are completed the same day depending on model, year, and parts availability.
Can you unlock my Renault without damage?
Yes—our default approach is non-destructive entry using professional tools. In rare cases where components are already damaged or seized, we’ll explain options before proceeding.
Do you work on Renault vans like Trafic and Master?
Absolutely. We regularly replace and program keys for Renault Trafic, Master, and Kangoo vans, including proximity systems on newer models.
Is it cheaper than going to a Renault dealer?
Often yes—especially when you factor in towing and waiting times. As a mobile service, we come to you and typically get you back on the road faster. For guidance, see our page on auto locksmith prices Bromley.
