Our Mobile, On-Site Process
We keep it simple and business-friendly:
- Assessment
- Quick call to confirm your vehicle make, model, year, and the problem. We’ll ask about deadlocks, aftermarket security, and whether you need key coding for multiple drivers.
- Dispatch
- We send a mobile van locksmith across Luton and the LU postcode region. We avoid ETAs we can’t control, but we prioritise commercial vehicles to reduce downtime.
- Non-Destructive Entry and Diagnostics
- We attempt non-destructive entry first using specialist tools. If a key issue is suspected, we run diagnostics with dealer-level software via OBD2. On vehicles requiring deeper work, we can perform EEPROM programming to pair new keys to the immobiliser.
- Key Cutting and Programming
- We cut on-site using high-precision laser machines and program transponders and remotes. For smart/proximity fobs (increasingly common on newer vans), we complete the pairing and test start/lock functions.
- Lock or Ignition Repair (If Needed)
- If the key is snapped or the barrel is worn, we repair or replace the lock/ignition. We can rekey to match your existing key where appropriate, maintaining key control and convenience.
- Verification, Handover, and Warranty
- We test all keys and locks with you, ensure central locking works, and provide guidance on spares and best practice. Workmanship and new keys are covered by our warranty.

FAQs
Can you open my van without damage?
Yes, we use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. For rare cases where a lock has failed internally or has been heavily damaged, we’ll explain the options and any minor drilling required before starting.
Can you make a van key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can cut and program a new van key without the original, using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 programming, and, where necessary, EEPROM methods to pair the key to your immobiliser.
My van key won’t turn—what now?
This can be a worn ignition barrel, a steering lock issue, or a damaged key blade. We can extract broken keys, repair or replace the barrel, and ensure the new or repaired key works with your immobiliser.
Do you support smart/proximity keys on newer vans?
We do. Many 2020–2025 vans use advanced immobiliser systems and smart fobs. We provide smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and full functional testing.
Can you program multiple keys for my drivers?
Absolutely. We can produce and code multiple keys in one visit, ideal for fleets and shared vehicles. We also offer labelling and key control guidance.
Are your technicians insured and vetted?
Yes. All technicians are DBS-checked, and we hold public liability insurance. Workmanship and new keys come with a warranty.
