How We Work: Fast, Professional, On-Site

Our process is designed to minimise disruption:

1. Diagnose the issue

• We confirm your vehicle make, model, year, and describe the problem.
• We advise on likely solutions and outline costs clearly before work begins.
• If it’s a lockout, we prepare for non-destructive entry methods.

2. Dispatch a mobile technician

• Our fully equipped vans carry dealer-level diagnostics, key blanks, and high-security cutting machines.
• We cover Twickenham and all TW postcodes, including Teddington, Hampton, Whitton, Isleworth, Hounslow, and Richmond.

3. Solve the problem on-site

• Non-destructive entry techniques are used wherever possible.
• Keys are cut and programmed at the roadside using OBD2 diagnostics; EEPROM programming is available for specific immobiliser systems.
• If you’ve lost the only key, we can create a new one and program it to your van, and can de-authorise missing keys for security.

4. Test and handover

• We test doors, ignition, central locking, and remote functions.
• We provide guidance on maintenance and offer spare key options to prevent future downtime.

In rare cases—such as severely damaged locks or certain high-security systems—limited drilling or component replacement may be necessary. We will explain the reason, the process, and get your approval before proceeding.

Dealer-Level Tools and Expertise For Vans and Fleets

We invest in the right equipment so you don’t have to visit a main dealer:

• OBD2 diagnostics for transponder key programming and immobiliser pairing
• EEPROM key programming for vehicles requiring advanced access to ECU/BCM data
• Laser cut and high-security key machines carried on the van
• OEM-quality or approved aftermarket remotes and fobs
• Experience with 2024/2025 immobiliser systems and push-to-start/proximity keys
• Knowledge of commercial security: deadlocks, slam locks, and load area access

This approach allows us to offer a same-day, mobile alternative to dealer delays without compromising on quality or security.

We also maintain strict verification procedures to ensure we only work on vehicles with proper authorisation—protecting your assets and your reputation.

Non-Destructive Entry—Explained Simply

Our first step with any lockout is to use professional, non-destructive methods. In plain terms, that means carefully manipulating the lock or latch using specialised tools and techniques so nothing needs drilling or replacing. It protects your vehicle, keeps costs down, and gets you moving sooner. Only in rare cases, such as a severely damaged lock, will we recommend minimal drilling or component replacement, and we will always explain the reason and seek your go-ahead first.

Advanced Programming for Modern Vans

Modern vans use immobilisers and chips in the keys—called transponders—to confirm the key belongs to the vehicle. We handle:

• Transponder key programming via OBD2
• Smart key and proximity key programming for push-to-start vans
• ECU/immobiliser programming for vehicles that require deeper access
• EEPROM key programming for certain models where data must be read directly
• Digital key programming workflows where supported
• Anti-theft key programming to de-authorise missing keys

This ensures your van starts correctly, your central locking works, and old keys won’t compromise security.

Preventing Downtime: Practical Tips for Van Operators

• Have at least two working keys per vehicle—keep one in a safe location off the vehicle
• If a key shows intermittent faults, arrange repair before it fails entirely
• Replace fob batteries at signs of weakness and keep spares
• Report stiff locks or inconsistent ignition action early—minor wear can become major damage
• After staff changes, consider reprogramming to remove old keys from the system
• Keep one master set at the depot for emergency cover

We can help set up a proactive key management plan and provide coded spare keys with clear labelling for your fleet.

FAQs

Can you make a new van key without the original?

Yes. We can create and program new keys even if you’ve lost the only key. We use dealer-level diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM techniques to program the immobiliser. We can also de-authorise the lost key so it can’t start the van.

Will you damage my van when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In the rare event a lock is severely damaged or a high-security device requires drilling, we’ll explain the approach, obtain your approval, and replace any components as agreed.

Do you cover after-hours emergencies for commercial vehicles?

Yes. We provide emergency support across Twickenham and TW postcodes, including evenings and weekends. For urgent assistance, see our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Twickenham.

Can you program smart keys and proximity keys for vans?

Yes. We handle smart key programming, transponder pairing via OBD2, and more advanced work such as EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming for compatible models.

How long will it take to get my van back on the road?

Most lockouts and straightforward key issues are resolved on-site during the visit. Times vary by make, model, and the exact fault, but our mobile approach reduces downtime compared to dealer appointments.

Do you work with fleet managers and provide invoices and records?

Absolutely. We offer fleet-friendly processes, consolidated invoicing, and documentation suitable for compliance and audits. Speak to us about setting up a service plan.
