FAQs for Fawkham Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. With your vehicle details and proof of ownership, we can cut and program a new key from code or by decoding the lock. This avoids dealer delays and the need to replace all locks in many cases.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, using specialist tools designed for modern locks. In the rare case a destructive method is unavoidable (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain options and get your approval first.
How long does it take to get a new car key?
Most standard and remote keys can be cut and programmed on-site the same visit. Smart/proximity keys and vehicles needing EEPROM or immobiliser work may take longer, but we’ll give you a clear time estimate up front.
Can you program smart keys and proximity keys in DA3?
Yes. We offer smart key programming and proximity key replacement for many brands, using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 methods, and EEPROM techniques where required.
What should I do if my key fob stopped working suddenly?
First, try a fresh battery. If it still fails, the fob may need reprogramming or repair. We provide key fob programming service with car key programming and can diagnose central locking issues on-site.
Do you work with vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. We support popular vans and commercial vehicles, offering key replacement, programming, unlocking, and lock/ignition repairs for individual trades and fleets.
