When You Need a Mitsubishi Locksmith in Croydon
Mitsubishi owners call us for a range of issues, including:
- Lost or stolen Mitsubishi keys in CR
- Locked keys in the car or boot
- Key snapped in the door or ignition
- Mitsubishi key not detected or car won’t start
- Faulty or unresponsive key fob/remote
- Central locking problems after a battery change

If any of the above sounds familiar, we can help. For common scenarios like lost or stolen car keys, broken car keys, or a key fob not working, our mobile technicians come to you anywhere in Croydon and across CR.
Mitsubishi Car Key Replacement and Programming
Today’s Mitsubishi keys are more than metal. They include transponder chips that talk to your car’s immobiliser, and many newer models use smart, keyless systems known by Mitsubishi as KOS (Keyless Operation System).
We handle every key type:
- Standard transponder keys (chip keys)
- Remote flip keys
- Smart/proximity keys for push-button start
- Keyless entry fobs and remotes
How we replace and program Mitsubishi keys:
- Confirm your vehicle details and proof of ownership for security.
- Cut a new key using high-accuracy laser and electronic cutting machines (we can cut from code or decode the lock).
- Program the transponder to your ECU/immobiliser via OBD2 using dealer-level diagnostics.
- For “all keys lost” scenarios on certain models, we use advanced methods such as EEPROM programming to initialise keys directly to the system where required.
- Sync the remote functions and test the central locking.
- Hand over your working key and warranty.
If you need a new key or a spare, learn more about our Car Key Replacement service. If your key pairs but won’t start, or your fob needs pairing after a battery change, see our specialist Car Key Programming support.
Non-Destructive Mitsubishi Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out of your Mitsubishi in Croydon? We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. For most models we’ll pick the lock using specialist tools (such as vehicle-specific picks), or use safe access methods to open the vehicle without damaging paintwork, seals, or the locking system.
Rare exceptions: On some vehicles with specific security faults or damage, a non-destructive approach may not be feasible. If that’s the case, we’ll explain your options clearly before any work begins.
For urgent entry, see our dedicated Vehicle Unlocking page.
Ignition, Lock, and Remote Issues on Mitsubishi
Mitsubishi vehicles can suffer a range of lock, ignition, and remote faults over time:
- Worn ignition barrels or “key won’t turn” issues
- Broken or bent key blades and snapped keys
- Central locking working on some doors but not others
- Smart key “not detected” messages
- KOS antenna issues leading to intermittent starting, especially on models like Outlander PHEV
- Remote fobs losing their programming after flat batteries
- Door lock wear, particularly on high-mileage L200 and Shogun vehicles
We can diagnose and repair many of these problems roadside. Explore car ignition repair in Croydon or get quick help for a key fob not responding issue.

Step 1: Contact our Croydon team
Tell us your model, year, and the problem (lost key, locked out, key not working, etc.). We’ll provide a clear, no-obligation quote and arrange a visit across the CR area at a time that suits you. You can also contact our Croydon team online. -
Step 2: We come to you
Our fully equipped mobile vans carry Mitsubishi-compatible diagnostics, key blanks, remotes, and smart keys. We cover Croydon and all nearby CR postcodes, so there’s no need to tow your vehicle to a dealer. -

We can also cut high-security, laser-cut key blades on-site. -

We test starting, immobiliser pairing, remote locking/unlocking, and any onboard keyless functions. You leave with a fully working key and a warranty on workmanship and keys.

Mitsubishi Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can you make a Mitsubishi key without the original?
Yes. We can cut a new key from code or decode the lock and then program it to your vehicle’s immobiliser. For certain models where all keys are lost, we may use advanced EEPROM techniques. We’ll need proof of ownership and ID before we start.
How long does it take to get a new Mitsubishi key?
Most single-key jobs can be completed in one visit. On-site time varies by model and key type, but many replacements and programming jobs are finished the same day after you contact us.
Can you program Mitsubishi smart keys and keyless fobs (KOS)?
Yes. We handle Mitsubishi smart/proximity keys and keyless entry systems, including Outlander PHEV, Eclipse Cross, and ASX. We pair the transponder and sync the remote functions using dealer-level diagnostics.
Will you damage my car during unlocking or key work?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where a non-destructive method isn’t feasible due to a specific fault or damage, we’ll explain the options and get your approval before proceeding.
Is a locksmith faster than a dealer for Mitsubishi key replacement?
Often, yes. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you and can create/program keys without towing the vehicle, saving time and hassle. This is a common alternative to dealer key replacement in Croydon.
Does car insurance cover lost Mitsubishi keys?
Some policies do include lost or stolen key cover, sometimes as an add-on. Check your policy or speak to your insurer. We can provide invoices and documentation if you need to make a claim.
