When You Need A Vauxhall Auto Locksmith

How We Solve Vauxhall Key and Lock Problems
Our process is designed to be simple, safe, and efficient, using the same professional approach you’d expect from a main dealer—without the towing and waiting.
- Initial Assessment
- We confirm your Vauxhall model, year, and symptoms.
- We check ID/ownership for security and advise on the best route: replacement, repair, or unlocking.
- Non-Destructive Entry (Where Needed)
- If you’re locked out, we use specialist picks and lishi tools to open your Vauxhall without damage wherever possible. If drilling or component replacement is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we explain the reason and costs before proceeding.
- Cutting and Key Coding
- We cut laser or standard blades precisely to your Vauxhall’s lock code.
- We programme the transponder and remote functions via OBD2.
- For certain immobiliser types or lost all keys situations, we can perform EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to pair new keys securely.
- Testing and Handover
- We test physical locking, remote buttons, and starting.
- You drive away with a working key and our workmanship guarantee.
Dealer-level equipment, software tokens, and pin code extraction tools allow us to handle a wide range of Vauxhall security systems, including late-model smart keys.

Tips To Avoid Vauxhall Key Troubles
- Keep a spare: Having a second, programmed key reduces future hassle and cost
- Watch for early signs: Reduced range or intermittent buttons often mean a failing fob battery or worn internal switches
- Protect from water: Moisture damages electronics—use a waterproof pouch if near water
- Don’t force the ignition: If the key won’t turn, forcing it can snap the blade; call us for safe diagnosis

FAQs: Vauxhall Keys And Locks
Can you make a Vauxhall key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and programme a new Vauxhall key without the original. Using your vehicle’s lock data and immobiliser information, we cut the key and programme the transponder via OBD2. In some cases, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming is required. Proof of ownership is needed.
Do you offer non-destructive entry on Vauxhalls?
Wherever possible, yes. We use professional lock-picking tools and techniques to open your Vauxhall without damage. If a lock is severely damaged or has failed mechanically, we’ll explain the issue and obtain your approval before any alternative methods.
How long does Vauxhall key programming take?
Most Vauxhall key programming jobs are completed during a single visit. Time varies with model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you a clear timescale when you call.
My Vauxhall key fob has stopped working—what now?
This could be a flat battery, worn buttons, or a sync issue. We can test the fob, replace the battery or shell, repair the board where feasible, or supply and programme a new fob. See our guide to key fob not working.
Can you delete lost or stolen Vauxhall keys from the car?
Yes. We can erase old keys from your Vauxhall’s immobiliser so they won’t start the vehicle. We then programme new keys and test everything before you leave.
Is it cheaper to use a locksmith than a dealer for Vauxhall keys?
In many cases, yes—especially when you’re immobilised. A mobile locksmith saves towing and waiting time, and we can often complete the job faster. Learn more about auto locksmith prices Twickenham.
Do you cover Vauxhall vans like Vivaro and Movano?
Absolutely. We provide Vivaro and Movano key replacement, key programming, unlocking, and ignition repair for vans and fleets across TW postcodes. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith service.
