Tools, Training, And Non-Destructive Methods
We invest in the same calibre of equipment used by main dealers, enabling us to work quickly and safely at the roadside:
- Lishi and specialist lock picks for non-destructive entry
- Dealer-level OBD2 diagnostics for immobiliser/ECU interfacing
- EEPROM programming for vehicles that require direct data work
- High-precision key cutting machines for laser cut and standard keys
- Programming platforms for transponder keys, remotes, and smart/proximity systems
Non-destructive entry is our default approach. In a small number of cases—such as a severely damaged lock or a previously tampered door—careful destructive measures or component replacement may be necessary. If that’s likely, we’ll explain your options, costs, and any risks before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist tools designed for your vehicle. In rare cases where damage-free entry isn’t feasible due to lock failure or prior damage, we’ll explain the options and any costs before starting work.
Do you operate evenings, weekends, and bank holidays?
Yes. Emergency support is available for Maidstone and the wider ME area. If you’re in doubt, call us and we’ll confirm availability and dispatch.
Can you make a new car key without the original?
In most cases, yes. We can create and program a new key using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 programming, and, for some models, EEPROM or immobiliser data work. If you’ve lost your only key, we can also de-authorise the old key for security.
Can you unlock cars with keyless entry or push-to-start?
Yes. We work with smart/proximity systems and push-button start vehicles. If the smart key isn’t detected, we can diagnose and resolve programming, battery, or antenna issues on site for many models.
How long will it take to get me back in my car?
Times vary by vehicle and fault, but most non-destructive entries are completed quickly. We avoid hard arrival promises; instead, we focus on efficient dispatch and solving the issue on the first visit wherever possible.
Is a locksmith faster than a main dealer for emergencies?
Usually, yes. Dealers often require towing and lead time for parts. As a mobile auto locksmith, we come to you, open the car, and can cut and program keys roadside for many vehicles the same day.
