Auto Locksmith North Shields 

Lost Car Keys

When every key for a vehicle has gone missing, the first job is getting into the car without damaging the locks in the process. From there we use decoding equipment to work out the correct key cuts, then retrieve the code that operates the central locking and immobiliser. With that information we can cut and programme a new key on site that looks and functions the same as the one you lost.

Car Key Replacement in North Shields

Keys don't have to be lost to need replacing. A lot of the replacement car key work we do is down to wear and tear, rather than loss.

Buttons stop responding, casings crack, the transponder inside fails, or the car stops recognising the key. Sometimes the fault lies within the vehicle's computer system rather than the key, which is why it needs proper diagnosis by an auto locksmith. 

We supply and programme replacement keys for all makes and models, cut and set up at your car so you're not left waiting around or arranging alternative transport. We can create replacement keys at the roadside, outside your house or even at your workplace.

Spare Car Keys

Only having one car key is really common. Vehicles should be supplied with two keys initially when new. However, with used vehicles its luck of the draw and often cars are only supplied with one key. That’s fine right up until that key goes missing or stops working. Once the last key's gone, there's nothing left to copy from, and the job usually costs more and takes longer to fix as a result.

A spare car key gives you a fall back if the main key's lost, damaged or develops a fault down the line. We supply and programme spares for a wide range of vehicles. If you already have a working key for us to copy from the job becomes much less involved and is considerably cheaper.
