Peugeot key types and common issues
Peugeot vehicles use several key systems depending on the model and year. Older cars may have a standard remote key with a separate transponder chip, while newer versions often use a smart key or proximity fob that allows keyless entry and push-button start.
Common problems Peugeot drivers contact us about include:
- Lost or stolen keys – you’ll need a new key cut and programmed to the car’s immobiliser.
- Key fob not working – could be a dead battery, failed remote, or loss of synchronisation.
- Broken key blade or housing – a key that’s snapped in the door lock or ignition can often be extracted and a new shell fitted.
- Spare key needed – having only one key puts you at risk; we can programme a spare before you get caught out.
We can help with key cutting and programming for many Peugeot models, including the 107, 108, 207, 208, 308, 508, 2008, 3008, 5008, and Partner. However, some very recent vehicles with advanced security systems may still require a dealer visit, and we’ll always let you know what’s possible when you call.

Key fob repairs
A key fob that’s stopped working might just need a new battery or re-synchronisation. In some cases, we can supply a replacement case while keeping the original internal electronics.
What to have ready when you call
To help us assist you quickly, please provide:
- Your Peugeot model and year (for example, Peugeot 308 2017)
- The vehicle registration number if available
- The exact location where the car is parked
- A description of the problem (lost keys, broken key, locked out, key fob not responding, etc.)
- Whether you still have a working key or spare
The more information you can give, the better we can assess whether we can help and what equipment to bring.
Why choose a mobile auto locksmith for your Peugeot?
Car dealers can often supply and programme keys, but you may need to have your vehicle recovered there and wait for an appointment---especially if you’ve lost all your keys. A mobile auto locksmith can usually come to your home, workplace, or roadside in South East London, saving you the tow and the dealer’s hourly labour charges.
We carry a range of key blanks, diagnostic tools, and programming equipment suitable for many Peugeot immobiliser systems. That said, every job is different, and we’ll always confirm what can be done for your specific vehicle before starting any work.
FAQs about Peugeot auto locksmith services
Can you replace a lost Peugeot key without the original?
Yes, if you have no working key we can often decode the vehicle’s lock, cut a new key, and programme it. This depends on the vehicle’s immobiliser system and year; some latest-generation vehicles might still need dealership assistance.
What if my Peugeot key fob has stopped working?
A non-responsive fob could be due to a flat battery, water damage, a faulty microswitch, or it may have lost programming. We can test the fob’s signal, replace the battery, and attempt to resync or reprogramme the key. If the remote is beyond repair, a new one can be cut and programmed.
Do you programme smart keys for keyless Peugeot models?
We can programme smart keys (proximity keys) for many Peugeot models that use this system. Our diagnostic tools can communicate with the car’s BSI (Body Systems Interface) to register new keys, though some models may have additional security that requires dealer-level access. We’ll tell you upfront if that’s the case.
Is a mobile auto locksmith cheaper than a Peugeot main dealer?
In many cases, a mobile auto locksmith can be more cost-effective because there’s no recovery truck needed and no dealership labour rates. However, the final cost depends on the key type, parts availability, and the vehicle’s security level. We’ll give you a clear quote before we begin any work.
