FAQs for Skimmington Customers
Can you make a new car key in Skimmington if I’ve lost the original?
Yes. We can generate keys without the original by decoding your locks and programming a new transponder/smart key to your immobiliser. This is often quicker and more convenient than a dealer. Start with our car key replacement Redhill.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use professional, non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare instance where a component is already damaged or a specific design requires drilling, we’ll explain the options and get your approval first.
How long does car key programming take?
Many standard keys are completed within a single visit. Timing depends on the make, model, and whether immobiliser or ECU programming is required via OBD2 or EEPROM. We’ll advise accurate timings when you call.
My key fob isn’t responding even after a new battery—what now?
It could be a pairing issue, a failed transponder/remote circuit, or an immobiliser sync problem. We can test, repair, or replace the fob and reprogram it. See key fob not working for common signs.
Do you cover vans and fleets in RH2?
Yes. We provide van and commercial vehicle services, including rapid unlocks, spare keys, and fleet support. Learn more at van & commercial locksmith.
