When You Need A Kia Auto Locksmith
Kia owners call us for a range of situations. If any of these sound familiar, we can help today:
- Lost Kia keys or stolen car keys and no spare
- Locked keys in car or boot (including deadlocked vehicles)
- Kia key snapped in door lock or ignition
- Key turns but car won’t start (immobiliser/key symbol on dash)
- Kia key fob not responding, intermittent, or central locking not working
- Need a Kia spare key cut and programmed for peace of mind
- Keyless entry or smart key not detected in vehicle
- Broken, worn, or water-damaged Kia remote
- Ignition issues: key won’t turn or sticks, steering lock problems
If you’re unsure what you need, we’ll diagnose it on arrival with OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, advanced EEPROM/immobiliser programming.
How We Solve Kia Key And Lock Problems
We combine specialist training with modern tools to provide quick, safe solutions for Kia vehicles:
- Non-destructive vehicle unlocking: We use professional lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open your Kia without damage wherever possible. We’ll explain any rare exceptions before work begins.
- Kia car key replacement and cutting: We cut laser-cut and standard blades precisely from code or lock, then pair a new transponder or smart fob to your ECU/immobiliser.
- Kia key programming: Using dealer-level equipment, we perform transponder and smart key programming, OBD2 key programming, remote syncing, and immobiliser (ECU) adaptations. For certain models, we can carry out EEPROM key programming when required.
- Spare and duplicate keys: We supply and program spare Kia keys on-site, often at a lower cost and with less hassle than a main dealer.
- Key fob repair and replacement: From damaged flip housings to dead batteries and faulty buttons, we repair or replace Kia remotes and re-sync them to your car.
- Ignition and lock repairs: We tackle common Kia ignition wear, stuck keys, and lock cylinder faults with repair or replacement, always aiming to retain your original key profile.
- Security resets after lost or stolen keys: We can erase lost keys from your Kia’s system and add new ones so old keys no longer start the car.
Typical Kia models we support include Picanto, Rio, Ceed/Proceed, Stonic, Soul, Niro (HEV/PHEV/EV), Sportage, XCeed, Sorento, Optima, and EV6, as well as older models. If your model isn’t listed, just ask—we cover most Kia vehicles up to current 2024/2025 models.

Common Kia Key And Immobiliser Questions
Can you make a new Kia key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Kia key even if you’ve lost all keys. We use lock decoding and immobiliser programming to add a fresh key, and we can remove missing keys from the system so they won’t start the car.
My Kia says “key not detected.” What should I do?
First, try your spare battery in the fob or hold the fob near the start button—some Kias have an emergency start coil. If that fails, the fob may need re-syncing or replacement, or there may be an antenna/immobiliser fault. We can diagnose and fix this on-site with OBD2 tools.
How long does Kia key replacement take?
Most Kia keys can be cut and programmed the same visit. Times vary by model and whether it’s a standard remote or smart/proximity key, but many are completed within a single appointment at your location.
Will you damage my Kia when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On a small number of cases with complex deadlocks or faults, minimal intervention may be required; we will always discuss this with you in advance.
Can you program a used Kia key fob?
Often, used Kia fobs are locked to another car and cannot be reprogrammed. We’ll advise after checking your model and system. In many cases, a new, compatible remote or smart key is the best route.
Do you cover weekends and evenings?
Yes. We provide emergency support, including evenings, weekends and holidays, across Twickenham and the wider TW area.
