Car key and vehicle lock services in Hatch
Car key replacement
If your keys are lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, we can cut and programme a replacement key. This includes transponder keys, remote keys, and smart proximity keys where supported by the vehicle system.
Car key programming
Modern vehicles require specialist programming to pair new keys with the immobiliser. We use diagnostic and OBD equipment to programme keys on site for many makes and models, provided the vehicle security system allows it.
Vehicle unlocking
Locked out with keys inside? We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to open car doors and boots without damaging the lock, paint, or trim.
Broken car key extraction
Keys snapped in the door lock or ignition barrel can often be extracted and replaced without replacing the entire lock, depending on the damage and access.
Spare car keys and duplication
Having a spare key cut and programmed now can save you from future lockouts. We can duplicate working keys and programme additional remotes for many vehicles.
Van and commercial locksmith
We also support commercial vehicles, including vans with high-security locks and transponder systems commonly used by local businesses in Hatch.

FAQs about auto locksmiths in Hatch
Can you replace a lost car key in Hatch?
Yes. We can replace lost car keys for many vehicles in Hatch, including cutting a new blade and programming the transponder or remote to start the vehicle. The exact process depends on your car’s make, model, year, and immobiliser system.
Can you unlock my car without damage?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases where locks are damaged or faulty, we discuss any necessary work with you before proceeding.
Can you programme a spare or replacement key?
Yes, we can programme spare keys and replacement remotes for many vehicles, including transponder keys and smart keys. Some older or specialist vehicles may require specific parts or dealer-only procedures, which we will advise on when you call.
What affects the cost of an auto locksmith job?
Costs depend on the vehicle make and model, key type (standard, remote, transponder, or smart key), whether you have a working key available, the condition of the locks or ignition, and the complexity of the programming required. We provide a tailored quote before any work begins.
Do I need to take the car to a dealer?
Not necessarily. A mobile auto locksmith can often provide a faster, more convenient solution than arranging dealer recovery and appointments, particularly for lost keys or lockouts. However, some very new or high-security vehicles may have restrictions that limit programming to dealer-only tools.
What details should I have ready when I call?
Have your vehicle registration, make, model, and year ready. Tell us your exact location in Hatch, whether the car is locked, and describe any symptoms such as flashing immobiliser lights or unresponsive key fobs.
