Car key and vehicle lock services in Selhurst
Car key replacement
If your keys are lost or stolen, a replacement key can be cut and programmed to your vehicle on site. This covers standard keys, remote keys, and smart proximity keys where the vehicle system allows. Learn more about car key replacement.
Car key programming
Modern vehicles require transponder chips or remote fobs to be paired with the immobiliser. Mobile diagnostic equipment is used to programme new keys or reprogramme existing ones that have stopped responding. See car key programming details.
Vehicle unlocking
If you are locked out with the keys inside, non-destructive entry methods are used wherever possible to open the car without damaging the lock or paintwork. Read about vehicle unlocking.
Spare car keys and duplication
Having a spare key cut while you still have a working one can prevent future lockouts. Duplicates are matched to your existing key and programmed accordingly. Spare key cutting and duplication.

FAQs about auto locksmiths in Selhurst
Can you replace a lost car key in Selhurst?
Yes. A mobile auto locksmith can cut and programme a replacement key at your location in Selhurst, provided the vehicle make, model, and security system are supported. You will need to provide proof of ownership and identification.
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Non-destructive entry methods are used wherever possible. In rare cases where the lock is already damaged or the vehicle has specific security features, alternative methods may be discussed with you before proceeding.
Can you programme a spare key for my car?
Yes, spare keys can be cut and programmed if you have a working key available. This is often quicker than replacing a lost key and can prevent future lockouts. Key fob not working issues can also be diagnosed.
What affects the cost of an auto locksmith job?
The cost depends on the vehicle make, model, and year; the type of key required; whether a working key is available; the condition of the locks; and whether the vehicle is immobilised. A quote is provided after assessing these factors.
Do I need to take my car to a main dealer?
Not necessarily. A mobile auto locksmith can often handle key replacement, programming, and unlocking on site, saving you the cost and delay of recovery to a dealer. Some vehicles with advanced security systems may require dealer-only procedures, which will be advised if applicable.
What details should I have ready when I call?
Have your vehicle registration, make, model, and year ready, along with your location in Selhurst. Describe the problem (lost or stolen keys, lockout, broken key, or fob fault) and mention if you have any working keys remaining.
