Van & Commercial Auto Locksmith in Bromley
When you need a dependable van and commercial auto locksmith in Bromley, we’re here to help. Our mobile technicians provide fast, professional assistance for vans, commercial vehicles, and fleets across the BR postcode area—covering everything from urgent vehicle unlocking and lost keys to transponder and smart key programming, ignition repairs, and spare keys for your team.
When You Need a Van & Commercial Locksmith
Vans and commercial vehicles are the backbone of many businesses. When a key snaps, a fob fails, or a door won’t open, your schedule and revenue can grind to a halt. Common situations we resolve include:
- Locked out of a van or commercial vehicle on-site or roadside
- Lost or stolen van keys, including the only working key
- Key snapped in the door lock or ignition
- Faulty fob or remote: buttons not working, water damage, flat battery
- Key not detected on push-to-start vans and pickups
- Central locking problems on one or multiple doors
- Ignition won’t turn or key stuck in ignition barrel
- Need multiple spare van keys for drivers or contractors
- After a break-in: damaged locks needing repair or replacement
- Fleet onboarding: programming and cutting keys to new vehicles
- Upgrading to high-security or deadlock-compatible keys
If your situation isn’t listed, just ask. Our commercial specialists handle most makes and models daily, including Ford Transit/Custom, Mercedes Sprinter/Vito, Volkswagen Transporter/Crafter, Vauxhall Vivaro/Movano, Peugeot Boxer/Partner, Citroën Relay/Berlingo, Renault Trafic/Master, Nissan NV200/Primastar, and more.
How Our Commercial Service Works
We bring dealer-level diagnostics and cutting equipment to your location across Bromley and the BR postcode area. Our process is designed to minimise downtime:
- Initial assessment and security check
- We confirm vehicle ownership and gather details (make, model, year, key type, symptoms).
- We provide a clear, no-obligation quote and ETA for mobile attendance.
- Non-destructive entry wherever possible
- For lockouts, we use professional lock-picking and access tools to open the vehicle without damage wherever possible. In rare cases where minimal drilling is unavoidable (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
- Key cutting and programming on-site
- We create and cut van keys from codes, existing locks, or ECU/immobiliser data when originals are missing.
- Using OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming, we pair transponder chips and smart keys to your vehicle securely.
- Repairs and replacements
- We repair or replace faulty locks, barrels, and ignitions, and carry out remote central locking repairs.
- We can de-authorise lost or stolen keys so they can’t start the vehicle.
- Testing, handover, and warranty
- We road-test start and remote functions and confirm central locking behaviour.
- You receive guidance on key care, and our workmanship and keys are covered by warranty for peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a van key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program new van keys without the original using key codes, lock decoding, or ECU/immobiliser data. This is often faster and more convenient than ordering through a main dealer. Learn more about our car key programming.
Will you damage my van when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, including professional lock-picking and specialist access tools. If a lock is already damaged or a rare exception applies, we’ll explain and get approval before proceeding, and we can repair or replace the lock afterward.
Can you program smart or proximity keys for commercial vehicles?
Yes. We provide transponder and smart key programming for most modern vans and pickups, using dealer-level diagnostics via OBD2 and, where necessary, EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming.
Do you cover multiple drivers and provide spare keys?
Absolutely. We regularly supply and program spare keys for teams and fleets, including batch visits to depots or sites across Bromley and the BR postcode area.
My key snapped in the ignition—can you extract it and fix the barrel?
Yes. We handle broken ignition key extraction and can repair or replace worn ignition barrels. If needed, we’ll also cut and program a replacement key on-site so you can get back to work.
Is it cheaper and quicker than going to the dealer?
In many cases, yes—especially for on-site unlocking, lost keys, and immediate replacements. As a mobile service, we save you towing and delay. For pricing guidance and cost factors, see our page on auto locksmith prices Bromley.
