Locked Out Or Lost Your Keys In Lenham?
Car lockouts and lost keys often happen at the worst times—before the school run, outside the shops, or at Lenham Community Centre. Our mobile technicians use advanced, non-destructive entry techniques on most vehicles, including modern deadlocking systems. If your only key is lost or stolen, we can cut and program a new key or fob on the spot, and, where required, re-program your immobiliser to block the missing key.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a car key without the original in Lenham?
Yes. For most vehicles we can create a replacement key without the original by reading immobiliser data via OBD2 or, when necessary, using EEPROM techniques. Proof of vehicle ownership is required.
Will unlocking my car damage the lock or window?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. Our tools are designed for safe access via the lock or door frame. If a rare destructive method is the only safe route due to existing faults, we’ll discuss it with you first.
How long does it take to get a new car key in ME17?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, often the same day. Timing depends on vehicle make/model, key type (remote vs smart), and the complexity of immobiliser programming. We’ll advise accurate timings when you call.
