FAQs For Drivers In Park Wood
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key without the original by decoding your lock and programming a new transponder/remote to the immobiliser system. This is usually faster and more convenient than a dealer. For more details, request a free locksmith quote in Maidstone.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On the rare occasions a failed lock or severely damaged key requires drilling or component replacement, we’ll explain the options and costs first and proceed only with your approval.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Many replacements can be completed during a single visit, as our vans carry key blanks, remotes, and diagnostic tools. Timing varies by make/model, key type (transponder, remote, smart), and whether the key is being cloned, programmed, or built from scratch.
Can you program smart/proximity keys in Park Wood?
Yes. We handle smart key programming and keyless entry systems for popular brands including Ford, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Toyota, Nissan, Kia, Hyundai, and more. See our dedicated Car Key Programming page.
What should I do if my key fob stops working?
First, try a known-good battery. If it still fails, the fob may need re-synchronising or repair, or your vehicle may have an immobiliser/antenna fault. Visit key fob not working for quick checks, or contact us for diagnostics.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. We provide van and commercial locksmith services, including replacement and programming for popular work vehicles like Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, and VW Transporter. Learn more on our Van & Commercial Locksmith page.
