Safety, Security, And Non-Destructive Methods
Modern cars use high-security locks and immobilisers. Our approach prioritises your vehicle’s integrity:
- Specialist lock picks and decoding tools to avoid damage
- Air wedges and long-reach tools used carefully to protect paint and trim
- OBD2 diagnostics to pair new keys and check immobiliser status
- EEPROM and ECU programming when the vehicle’s module requires direct coding
- Full ID and ownership checks in line with UK best practice to help prevent vehicle crime
In rare circumstances where a lock is already damaged or a high-security deadlock has failed, we’ll discuss minimally invasive options and carry out repairs to manufacturer standards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new car key without the original in Caddington?
Yes. We can create and program a new key from your vehicle’s locks and immobiliser data using OBD2 diagnostics or EEPROM methods where required. This is common when keys are lost or stolen.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive techniques wherever possible. If a lock is faulty or inaccessible without damage, we’ll explain the issue and agree the best solution before proceeding.
How long does it take to replace a car key?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, often the same day, depending on your vehicle and key type. Smart/proximity systems and certain brands can take longer due to security procedures and programming steps.
My key fob stopped working after a battery change. Can you fix it?
Yes. We can re-sync many key fobs, replace worn key blades, and reprogram if necessary. If the fob is faulty, we can supply and program a new unit.
I’ve locked my keys in the boot at The Green. Can you help?
