Automotive Replacement Keys & Locks

Yes, absolutely. If you have lost all your keys, we can still help.

Using your vehicle's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and specialised decoding tools, our technicians can cut a brand-new key from scratch and program the transponder chip to match your car's immobiliser system, getting you back on the road without needing a tow to a dealership.

In almost all cases, choosing an automotive locksmith like Armstrong is more cost-effective and convenient than going to a dealership.

Dealerships often require you to tow the car to them and may have long wait times for replacement keys to arrive from overseas. We come to you with our mobile workshops and can usually cut and program the key on the spot, saving you both time and money.

Please do not try to extract the broken piece yourself using superglue or sharp objects, as this often pushes the debris deeper or damages the sensitive ignition wafers.

Call us immediately. Our mobile units carry specialist extraction tools designed to safely remove the broken fragment without damaging the lock. We can then cut a fresh replacement key for you right there.

Yes, we service both traditional turn-key ignitions and modern "smart key" or proximity fob systems used for push-button start vehicles.

Our technicians are equipped with the latest diagnostic software to program smart remotes for most major vehicle brands, including Japanese imports and European models.

For most standard vehicles, our mobile locksmith can cut and program a new key within 30 to 60 minutes of arriving at your location.

However, some high-security luxury vehicles (like certain European models) may require more complex EEPROM programming, which can take a bit longer. We will always provide a time estimate when you book the job.
