Non-Destructive First, Always
We prioritise non-destructive entry and repair methods. Modern vehicles, including Hyundai, use sensitive electronics and anti-theft systems, so careful technique matters. In the rare event a lock is too damaged or a component has failed internally, we’ll explain the options clearly before proceeding. Most entries and key solutions are completed without drilling.
FAQs for Hyundai Keys and Locks
Can you make a new Hyundai key without the original?
Yes. We routinely produce Hyundai replacement keys without the original by decoding the lock or using key codes and then programming the transponder or smart system to match your immobiliser. We handle this on your driveway or roadside across Dartford.
How long does Hyundai key programming take?
Most Hyundai keys and fobs can be cut and programmed within an hour of arrival, depending on model and security system. Smart key systems and immobiliser sync checks can add some time, but we’ll keep you informed.
My Hyundai says “Key not detected” — what should I do?
First, try a fresh battery in the fob and hold the fob near the start button. If it still won’t start, it may be an immobiliser or aerial issue. We provide on-site diagnostics and car key programming to resolve sync or ECU/immobiliser problems.
Can you program a used Hyundai key fob?
Sometimes, but it depends on model and generation. Many Hyundai fobs lock to the first car they’re paired with. We’ll advise whether a used fob can be reprogrammed or if a new fob is the most reliable option.
Will you damage my Hyundai when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. Your door seals, paintwork, and locks are protected. If a lock is already damaged and requires drilling or replacement, we’ll explain the issue and get your approval before any work.
Is it cheaper and faster than going to a Hyundai dealer?
In most cases, yes. As a mobile service, we come to you, avoid towing, and provide quicker turnaround than dealer lead times. For more on value, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
