FAQs: Toyota Keys And Locks

Can you make a Toyota key without the original?

Yes. In most cases we can create a new Toyota key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data. We use OBD2 diagnostics and, for certain models, EEPROM techniques to extract the necessary information safely. This avoids main dealer delays and towing. If you’ve lost all keys, start with our car key replacement in Dartford.

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

First, try a fresh key battery and hold the fob close to the start button. If it still fails, the fob or immobiliser antenna may need attention. We can test and repair or replace the fob, and reprogram it using Toyota-compatible diagnostics. Learn more about key fob not working issues.

How long does Toyota key programming take?

Most replacements and programming are completed in one visit, often under an hour once on site. Times vary by model, year, and whether it’s an all-keys-lost situation or a spare key addition.

Will you damage my Toyota when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On rare occasions where a component is severely damaged or seized, we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.

Can you add a spare Toyota smart key?

Absolutely. We can supply and program an additional proximity/smart key or remote key so you’ve always got a backup. A spare is usually quicker and more affordable than replacing a lost set in an emergency.

Are you cheaper than the Toyota dealer?

Often, yes—especially when you factor in towing and wait times. As a mobile service, we come to you with dealer-level equipment, provide quick turnarounds, and offer warranties on keys and programming. For guidance, see our page on auto locksmith prices in Dartford.
