Car Key Replacement And Programming In Beddington, CR0
If you’ve lost your car keys in Beddington, snapped a key in the ignition, or your proximity key has stopped being detected, we can create and program a new key on the spot—often faster and more conveniently than a main dealer. We handle:
- Spare keys and replacements for modern transponder keys
- Smart/proximity keys for push-to-start vehicles
- Remote fob repair or replacement
- Laser-cut and high-security key blades
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. When we program keys, we pair that chip and the remote to your car’s ECU—using OBD2 diagnostic tools and, for certain models, EEPROM techniques. This dealer-level approach ensures your new key works smoothly with your vehicle’s security system.

FAQs For Beddington Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your vehicle’s locks or via the immobiliser system. We then program the transponder chip and remote functions to your ECU using OBD2 diagnostics, and for some models, EEPROM techniques. ID and proof of ownership are required.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
It depends on the vehicle and key type. A standard remote key may take around 30–60 minutes from cutting to programming once we’re with you. Smart/proximity keys can take longer due to additional security steps. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you call.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare situations—such as certain double-locked faults or damaged mechanisms—minimal drilling may be required, but we will always explain the situation and get your permission before proceeding.
How much does car key programming cost in Croydon?
Prices vary by make, model, key type (basic, remote, smart), and the work required (e.g., creating a key from scratch vs adding a spare). We don’t publish fixed or indicative pricing. For clarity on cost factors, please see our page on auto locksmith prices in Croydon and request a free, accurate quote.
My car says “key not detected” in Beddington—what should I do?
Try replacing the fob battery and holding the fob near the start button or steering column (many cars have a hidden backup reader). If it still won’t start, there may be a transponder or immobiliser issue. We can diagnose and resolve this on site with dealer-level equipment.
Do you work evenings and weekends in Beddington?
Yes. We provide mobile coverage across Beddington and CR postcodes with flexible hours, including urgent and out-of-hours assistance. Call for availability and dispatch times.
