Why Having a Second Car Key Makes Sense

All cars should come with two keys as standard. If you've only got one, you're reliant on that single key every time you use your vehicle. If you lose it or it develops a fault, you could find yourself unable to use the car until a replacement has been arranged.

Having a spare available gives you another option if something happens to your main key. It's also worth thinking about if you've recently bought a used car that came with just one key. This is something we see all the time with used vehicles.

Getting a spare made while you still have a working key is much more straightforward than replacing a key when all keys have been lost. It’s also much more cost effective when compared to making a replacement from scratch.

Spare Keys for Modern Cars

Car keys have changed a lot over the years. All modern vehicles now use electronic security systems, meaning there's more involved than just cutting a key blade.

Modern Key Types We Cut And Programme 

  • Remote car keys: Keys with buttons for operating the central locking.

  • Transponder keys: Keys containing a chip that communicates with the vehicle's immobiliser.

  • Flip keys: Folding keys with an integrated remote control.

  • Proximity and smart keys: Electronic keys used with keyless entry and push-button start systems.

Car Keys at Your Location 

When you try to get a spare car key from a main dealer you will usually find it has to be ordered from the factory. The key is then sent to your dealer who book the car in and programme the key. Obviously, this takes quite a bit of time. Our mobile auto locksmith service means we can carry out the work at your home, workplace or another suitable location across Northumberland and North Tyneside.

We bring all the key cutting and programming equipment with us. We aim to reach customers within an hour, depending on your location and our availability. The time needed to complete the key will depend on the vehicle and the type of key required, but it’s usually completed in no more than an hour. That’s a huge time saving when comparing to a main dealer.
