Car Key Replacement in Peckham
Lost your car keys? Had them stolen? Our car key replacement service covers every scenario. We can cut and program a brand-new key for your vehicle — even if you don’t have the original.

This applies to all key types — from basic chip keys to advanced proximity keys used in 2024/2025 models.

Our vehicle unlocking service uses specialist, non-destructive tools to gain entry to your car without damaging the lock, door frame, or weather seals. Whether it’s a boot lockout, keys locked in the ignition, or a child locked inside the vehicle (which we treat as a top-priority emergency), we’ll get you back in quickly and safely.
Car Key Cutting and Duplication
Need a spare car key? Having a spare is one of the smartest things you can do to avoid the stress and cost of an emergency situation. We offer precision key cutting — including laser-cut and high-security keys — right at your location in Peckham. A spare key kept at home or given to a family member could save you significant time and money down the line.

Common Car Key Problems We Solve in Peckham
Drivers in SE15 contact us with a wide range of issues. Here are some of the most frequent problems we handle:
Lost or Stolen Car Keys
If your keys have gone missing — whether lost on a night out at one of Peckham’s many bars and restaurants, or stolen — it’s important to act quickly. We can provide lost or stolen car key replacement and, where necessary, reprogram your vehicle’s immobiliser to ensure the old keys can no longer be used. This protects your vehicle from unauthorised access.
Broken or Snapped Car Key
Keys wear out over time, and a key that’s been used thousands of times can eventually snap — especially in cold weather or if forced. If your car key has broken in the lock or ignition, we can extract the broken blade and provide a replacement on the spot. Don’t try to dig out a snapped key yourself, as this can damage the lock cylinder.
Key Fob Not Working
A faulty key fob is frustrating — your car won’t unlock, or it won’t start because the immobiliser can’t read the key. Sometimes the issue is a simple battery replacement; other times the fob itself needs reprogramming or replacing. Our technicians carry diagnostic equipment to test and resolve fob issues for all major brands.
Car Lock and Ignition Issues
Worn ignition barrels, stiff door locks, and central locking problems are more common than you might think — particularly in older vehicles or those frequently parked on Peckham’s busier streets where locks can accumulate dirt and grime. We diagnose and repair lock and ignition faults on the spot.
