FAQs For Dorking Drivers

Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?

Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN/locks and specialist decoding tools, we can cut and program a new key or fob without the original. We’ll ask for proof of ownership and ID before proceeding.

How long does it take to get a new car key in Dorking?

Many replacements are completed the same visit. Timing depends on your vehicle, key type (basic, remote fob, smart/proximity), and security system. We’ll give a clear estimated timescale when you call.

Will you damage my car when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or parts replacement is unavoidable due to damage or security design, we’ll explain the reason and agree next steps with you beforehand.

Can you program a used key fob?

Sometimes. Certain makes allow reprogramming of used fobs if the chip can be reset; others require new components. We’ll advise based on your brand and year. See our page on car key programming.

What should I do if I’ve lost my only key?

Stay with the vehicle if safe. Note your precise location in Dorking (landmark or postcode) and call us. We can provide emergency car key replacement and, if needed, erase the lost key from the immobiliser so it can’t start your car. More help here: lost or stolen car keys.

Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles around Dorking?

Yes. We handle Transit, Vivaro, Transporter and other vans, including fleets, with key replacement, programming, and unlocking. See our van & commercial locksmith service.
