When You Might Need A Lexus Auto Locksmith

Lexus vehicles use advanced immobiliser and smart key systems. When something goes wrong, it can stop you in your tracks. Common situations we handle daily in Dartford include:

• Lost or stolen Lexus keys needing immediate secure replacement and programming
• Locked out of your Lexus with keys inside the cabin or boot
• Lexus smart key not detected or push-to-start not responding
• Key fob not working after battery change or water damage
• Broken or worn Lexus key blade, or key snapped in the door or ignition
• Central locking not working on one door or intermittent remote locking issues
• Ignition or steering lock faults preventing the car from starting

If this sounds like your situation, our Lexus-trained technicians can help. We cover all popular Lexus models, including CT, IS, ES, GS, UX, NX, RX, RC, LC, LS, and older models too.

• For security-related incidents, see our guidance on lost or stolen car keys.
• If the vehicle won’t open, our vehicle unlocking service explains how we gain entry without damage.

Expert Lexus Key Solutions And How They Work

Lexus uses high-security transponder keys and smart/proximity systems. We pair specialist tools with manufacturer-level procedures to resolve issues quickly at the roadside or your driveway.

• Non-destructive entry

  • We use professional lock-picking tools and air wedges to open your Lexus without drilling or damage wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling is unavoidable (for example, a severely jammed lock), we will explain the options and costs before proceeding.

• Lexus key cutting and duplication

  • High-precision laser cutting for emergency and spare keys, including emergency insert blades for smart keys. Blanks matched to your model and year to ensure smooth operation.

• Lexus key programming and immobiliser pairing

  • Dealer-level diagnostics and OBD2 programming for transponder keys and smart keys.
  • For certain lost-all-keys scenarios, we perform EEPROM/ECU immobiliser programming to securely add new keys when the vehicle won’t accept normal programming.
  • Remote functions (lock/unlock/boot) and proximity features are tested and confirmed before handover. Learn more on our Car Key Programming page.

• Key fob repair and replacement

  • Shell and button repairs, key blade replacement, battery service, and water-damage remediation where feasible.
  • Full replacement Lexus key fobs supplied and coded when repair is not viable. If your fob has simply stopped, see key fob not working for quick checks.

• Ignition, lock, and steering issues

  • Diagnosis and repair for key won’t turn, stuck keys, or steering lock malfunctions.
  • Where required, we can refurbish or replace door locks and ignition barrels, then re-code to your existing key where appropriate to keep one-key convenience. For more complex faults, visit car lock and ignition issues.

Our aim is to fix your Lexus on the spot, usually in one visit, and save you the time, cost, and logistics of main dealer recovery.

FAQs: Lexus Keys And Locks

Can you make a new Lexus key without the original?

Yes. We can create and programme a new Lexus key without the original by reading vehicle data and securely pairing a new transponder or smart key to your immobiliser. In some cases, we may use EEPROM/ECU programming methods. Proof of ownership is required.

My Lexus says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?

First, replace the fob battery and try holding the fob near the start button. If it still won’t start, the key may need reprogramming or there could be an antenna or immobiliser fault. We can diagnose and fix this on-site using OBD2 diagnostics and Lexus-compatible tools.

I’ve locked my Lexus keys in the boot. Can you help without damage?

Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques to open the vehicle safely wherever possible, including when keys are locked in the boot. We’ll only discuss drilling as a last resort and with your agreement.

Do you programme Lexus smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?

Absolutely. We programme Lexus smart keys, remotes, and proximity systems, ensuring full functionality for lock/unlock, boot release, and push-to-start. We verify all features before we leave.

How long does Lexus key replacement take?

Many jobs are completed in a single visit, often within the same appointment slot. Timing depends on the model, year, and whether keys are lost or a spare is being added. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe when you call.

Is a mobile auto locksmith cheaper and faster than a dealer for Lexus keys?

In many cases, yes. We come to you, avoid towing, and complete cutting/programming on-site, which is typically faster and more convenient than booking and waiting for a dealer. For pricing transparency, see our guidance on auto locksmith prices Dartford.
