FAQs for Lampton Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, using specialist tools to protect your vehicle. If a lock is damaged or previously tampered with and drilling is unavoidable, we’ll explain the reasons and replace components professionally.
I’ve lost my only car key in Lampton. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. Our mobile team can create and program a new key without the original by accessing immobiliser data via OBD2 or, for certain manufacturers, via EEPROM methods. We also ensure old keys are deleted from the system where appropriate for security.
My car says “key not detected.” What should I do?
Try replacing the key fob battery first and hold the fob near the emergency start location (often by the start button or steering column). If that fails, we can test the fob, reprogram it, or supply a replacement. See more under car key programming.
Do you cover vans and commercial vehicles in TW3?
Absolutely. We work with Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro and more. Visit van and commercial locksmith for details.
Is a locksmith faster and more affordable than a dealer?
In many cases, yes. As a mobile service, we come to you in Lampton, avoiding towing and long dealer waits. We also program keys on-site, often the same day. Learn more about value on our pricing page.
