Citroën Car Key Solutions and How They Work
We bring a fully equipped mobile workshop to your location anywhere in Twickenham and across TW postcodes. Our approach is efficient, transparent, and non-destructive wherever possible.
-
Vehicle Unlocking
We use specialist lock-picking tools and techniques designed for Citroën door and boot locks to gain entry without damage in the vast majority of cases. In rare instances where a component has failed internally, we’ll explain options before any work. -
Citroën Key Cutting and Duplication
High-accuracy cutting for standard and laser-cut blades. We can clone or program new transponder chips as needed, and provide spare car keys so you’re not caught out again. -
Car Key Programming for Citroën
Using dealer-level equipment and OBD2 diagnostics, we program transponder chips and remote functions to your vehicle’s ECU/BSI (Built-in Systems Interface). For certain models and situations (e.g., all keys lost or corrupted BSI data), we can perform EEPROM or immobiliser data work to generate new keys and synchronise modules. -
Smart and Remote Key Fobs
Replacement and programming for Citroën remote fobs and proximity keys (where equipped). We also repair flip keys, replace key blades, and fix worn buttons or cracked cases. -
Ignition and Lock Issues
We diagnose and carry out ignition repair and replacement for common Citroën faults—such as worn wafers, stuck or broken keys, and intermittent turning. We can refurbish or replace door and boot locks and rekey them to match your existing key. -
Security and Deactivation of Lost Keys
If keys were stolen, we can de-authorise old keys from the immobiliser, supply new keys, and ensure your Citroën is secure.
Tools and methods we may use include OBD2 and dealer-level diagnostics, EEPROM work where required, pin code extraction, key cutting machines for high-security blades, and specialist non-destructive entry tools. All work is carried out by experienced, DBS-checked technicians and is covered by our workmanship and key warranties.

Citroën Key Types and Technologies Explained
-
Transponder Keys
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If the chip isn’t recognised, the engine won’t start. We program new transponders and sync them to your Citroën’s ECU/BSI. -
Remote Key Fobs
Fobs control locking and sometimes the alarm. We provide key fob replacement, repair worn buttons, replace cases, and reprogram if the fob loses sync. -
Flip Keys and Laser-Cut Keys
Many Citroëns use flip-style keys. We replace key blades, springs, and cases and cut high-security blades accurately. -
Proximity/Smart Keys
Some later Citroëns use keyless entry and push-to-start. We supply and program proximity keys and can assist if the car shows “key not detected”.
If your fob suddenly stopped working, see our guidance on key fob not working and our Car Key Programming service for re-sync and programming support.

FAQs: Citroën Keys and Locks
Can you make a Citroën key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new key from your Citroën’s locks/immobiliser data and program it to the ECU/BSI. For many models, we extract the security PIN and carry out OBD2 or EEPROM programming on site.
My Citroën is locked with the keys inside. Will you damage the car?
We use non-destructive entry techniques in the vast majority of cases. If a component has failed internally and force is unavoidable, we’ll explain the issue and your options before work begins.
How long does Citroën key programming take?
Many replacements are completed at the roadside in one visit. Times vary by model and whether all keys are lost, but most standard jobs are completed the same day.
What if my Citroën key fob has stopped working?
We test the battery, repair or replace the fob, and re-synchronise it to your car. See our advice for a faulty car key fob or contact us for quick diagnostics.
Can you help with Citroën van keys like Berlingo or Relay?
Absolutely. We work with Citroën vans daily, including Berlingo, Dispatch, and Relay—covering key replacement, programming, unlocking, and ignition repairs for commercial vehicles.
Do you guarantee your Citroën keys?
Yes. All new keys and our workmanship are covered by warranty. We’ll confirm the warranty terms for your specific key type and service.
