What We Do In Emergencies

  • Non-destructive vehicle unlocking
    We use professional lock-picking and bypass tools to open doors safely without damaging the lock or window. Rare exceptions apply for certain security faults; we’ll always discuss options first.

  • Emergency car key replacement
    Lost keys? We can cut and programme new remote keys, fobs, and smart/proximity keys on-site using OBD2 and dealer-level software. For some 2024/2025 models or high-security systems, EEPROM/ECU work may be required.

  • Broken key extraction and repairs
    Snapped key in the door or ignition? We extract broken blades carefully and provide a replacement key blade or a complete key where necessary.

  • Faulty fob and immobiliser issues
    If your car won’t recognise the key, we run diagnostics, re-synchronise or programme transponders, and replace/repair key fobs. We carry common batteries and components for quick fixes.

  • Ignition and lock faults
    Where the key won’t turn or the lock has failed, we can often repair the cylinder on-site. If replacement is required, we’ll explain options clearly before work begins.

FAQs

Will you damage my car?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, such as professional lock-picking and advanced bypass tools. In rare cases where a lock or security fault prevents non-destructive entry, we’ll explain the issue and agree a plan before any work begins.

Do you operate evenings, weekends, and bank holidays?

Yes. We provide emergency car locksmith support across Dartford and the DA area during evenings, weekends, and holidays. Availability can vary based on demand, but we prioritise urgent lockout and lost key cases.

Can you replace my key on the spot if I’ve lost the only one?

In many cases, yes. Our vans carry key blanks, transponders, and equipment to cut and programme new keys roadside. Some vehicles with advanced security may require EEPROM or specific immobiliser procedures; we’ll advise you clearly on what’s needed.

My key fob just stopped working. Can you help now?

Often, yes. We’ll check the battery, re-synchronise the remote, and test transponder communication. If needed, we can provide key fob replacement or repair and carry out key fob programming on-site for most makes.

What if my key has snapped in the ignition?

Don’t try to force it out. We can perform broken car key extraction safely and provide a replacement key blade or new key. If your ignition has been damaged, we can complete car ignition repair or advise on replacement options.

Are you cheaper and quicker than the main dealer?

In most emergency scenarios, a mobile auto locksmith is faster and more convenient than a main dealer, as we come to you and can often complete cutting and programming immediately. For costs and what affects them, see our guide to auto locksmith prices in Dartford.

If your situation isn’t an immediate emergency, or you want to explore options:

Your Safety And Security

  • Identity check and authorisation
    We’ll ask for proof of ownership/ID before unlocking or producing new keys to protect your vehicle and prevent misuse.

  • Transparent advice
    We’ll explain what’s wrong in plain English and outline the options before starting. If we believe dealer intervention is required for a specific model or security lockset, we’ll say so openly.

  • Warranty and aftercare
    New keys and our workmanship are covered by warranty. If you have any concerns after the job, we’ll return to inspect and resolve.
