Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open my car without damage?
Yes—non-destructive entry is our default approach. We use professional lock-picking tools and techniques designed to protect your car. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we’ll explain options and get your approval first.
Can you make a car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. Using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2, and model-specific data, we can create and program a new key without the original. Certain vehicles may require EEPROM or immobiliser programming, which we perform on-site.
How long does it take to get a new key?
Many replacements are completed during a single visit, typically the same day, depending on the vehicle and key type. Smart/proximity keys and some prestige models can take longer due to advanced security, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe up front.

Yes. We provide emergency support across DA postcodes, including evenings, weekends, and bank holidays. If it’s urgent, head to our emergency auto locksmith in Dartford page, or call us.
Are you cheaper than the main dealer?
Often yes—especially when you consider recovery and waiting times. As a mobile service, we come to you in West Heath and can usually complete work far quicker than a dealership. For tailored advice, see our guidance on auto locksmith prices Dartford.
