- Mokka/Mokka X, Crossland, Grandland, Adam, Viva

How Our Vauxhall Auto Locksmith Service Works
We combine experience, specialist training, and dealer-level tools to resolve Vauxhall key and lock issues efficiently.
- Initial assessment
- We confirm your model, year, and the exact problem. If keys are lost, we’ll verify ownership for your security.
- Non-destructive entry
- Locked out? We use professional lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open your Vauxhall without damage wherever possible. If drilling is the only safe option on a faulty lock, we’ll explain the risks and agree next steps first.
- Cutting and coding keys
- We cut laser or standard blades precisely and program transponders/smart keys using OBD2 diagnostics. For certain Vauxhall immobiliser systems or all-keys-lost scenarios, we may use EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to pair new keys securely.
- Diagnostics and testing
- We test remote locking, immobiliser recognition, and starting. For central locking faults, we run diagnostic scans and can advise on lock actuators and wiring where needed.
- Handover and warranty
- You’ll receive guidance on using and storing your new key, plus warranty details for workmanship and keys.
A transponder is a tiny chip inside your key that “talks” to your car’s immobiliser. Without the correct code, the engine will not start—even if the blade turns. We program that chip so your Vauxhall recognises the key again.

Common Vauxhall Key and Immobiliser Issues
- Key symbol or car-with-padlock light on dash: Often indicates immobiliser communication problems, a faulty transponder chip, or a key that needs reprogramming.
- Central locking works, but engine won’t start: The remote is talking to the body control module, but the immobiliser handshake may be failing—usually transponder or antenna ring related.
- Random unlocking/locking: Could be a failing key fob, low battery, or moisture damage.
- Key blade loose or snapped: Flip keys can wear at the hinge; we can replace blades and repair housings.
If your fob has gone quiet, try replacing the coin cell battery first. If it still won’t respond, we can resynchronise and test the key, or supply a quality replacement if required. You can also learn more on our key fob not working guide.
Our Process For All-Keys-Lost on Vauxhall
- Secure verification and vehicle check
- Decode the door/ignition lock to obtain the correct key cuts
- Cut a new key (laser or standard) on-site
- Program transponder via OBD2; for some models or module variants, perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming
- Test immobiliser handshake, remote locking, and starting
- Provide spare key options to prevent future lockouts
This is usually faster and more convenient than arranging recovery and waiting on a main dealer.
Dealer vs Local Auto Locksmith For Vauxhall Keys
- Speed and convenience: We come to you at your home, work, or roadside—no towing needed.
- Advanced tooling: Our dealer-level equipment and software cover most current Vauxhall models, including 2024/2025 releases.

- Personal service: Speak directly with a technician who will diagnose and resolve your specific issue on-site.

FAQs
Can you make a Vauxhall key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program a new Vauxhall key from your vehicle using lock decoding and immobiliser programming. We’ll need proof of ownership before starting. For details on replacement options, see our Car Key Replacement service.
Do you offer non-destructive entry on Vauxhall models?
Yes, wherever possible. We use professional lock-picking and entry techniques to protect your vehicle. If a component has failed and drilling is the only viable option, we’ll explain and agree the plan with you before any work.
My Vauxhall says “No Key Detected.” What should I do?
Try replacing the key battery and hold the key near the steering column or designated backup start point (varies by model). If it still won’t start, the transponder or receiver may need attention. We can diagnose and provide car key programming on-site.
How long does it take to get a new Vauxhall key?
For most models, a single visit is enough. Many jobs are completed within the same day depending on your location, model, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you call.
Can you program a used Vauxhall key fob?
In many cases, used Vauxhall remotes are locked to the original vehicle and cannot be reprogrammed. We recommend approved new keys/remotes that we can code and warranty.
Do you cover Vauxhall vans and fleets?
Absolutely. We handle Vivaro, Combo, and Movano keys and fobs, including spare keys for fleets and rapid response for lockouts. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith service for more.
