FAQs for Fancott Drivers
Can a locksmith make a car key without the original?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s VIN and lock/immobiliser data, we can cut and program a replacement without the original. We verify ownership and identity before proceeding for your security.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, employing specialist picks and decoding tools designed for your lock type. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why and agree a plan with you first.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Fancott?
Many replacements are completed in one visit, typically the same day depending on your vehicle and key type. Smart/proximity keys and some late-model systems can take longer due to immobiliser pairing and security procedures.

Can you program smart keys and proximity fobs?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, push-to-start keys, and advanced immobiliser systems using dealer-level tools, OBD2, and EEPROM techniques where required.
