We prioritise non-destructive entry using specialist tools. In the rare event destructive access is the only safe option due to a damaged lock or specific security design, we’ll explain why and agree the next steps with you first.

Can you fix my key fob if it stopped working?
Often yes. We check the battery, buttons, and circuit board, and can repair or replace the fob, then reprogram it. Learn more at key fob not working.
