What To Do When You’ve Lost Your Car Keys
Feeling helpless is normal, but taking the right steps is crucial.
- Retrace Your Steps: Take a moment to thoroughly check your pockets, bag, home, and office. It’s surprising how often keys turn up in an unexpected place.
- Assess the Risk: If you think your keys were lost in a public place or potentially stolen along with anything that identifies your address or vehicle, it’s vital to act quickly to prevent theft.
- Call a Specialist Auto Locksmith: This is the fastest and most secure way to resolve the situation. A main dealer can take days to help; we can solve the problem on the same day.
If you believe your keys were stolen, you should also consider reporting the theft to the police by calling 101. This can be important for any insurance claims.
The Secure Solution: How We Replace Your Lost or Stolen Keys
Our service is designed not just to get you back into your car, but to ensure the old keys are useless.
- Step 1: We Come To Your Location: Our mobile workshop will travel to you anywhere in Brighton & Hove, saving you time and recovery fees.
- Step 2: Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry: Our technicians will use specialist tools to gain entry to your vehicle without causing any damage.
- Step 3: We Cut a New Key Blade: Using your car’s lock information, we cut a new, precision key blade that fits your locks perfectly.
- Step 4: The Critical Security Step: This is what makes our service essential. We access your car’s immobiliser system and delete the old, lost keys from its memory. We then program the new key. This means that even if someone finds your old key, it will no longer be able to start the engine.
This process is the only way to be certain your vehicle is secure after losing a key.

This problem requires a comprehensive fix. Our service combines two of our core specialities:
- Car Key Replacement: We create a brand new, high-quality key for your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lost Keys
Q: Can a locksmith make a key without the original?
A: Yes. This is our specialty. We are experts in how to get a new car key without the original. We have the equipment to create a key from scratch by decoding your vehicle’s locks.
Q: I’ve lost my only car key. Is it an expensive job?
A: Losing your only key is more costly than getting a simple spare, as it’s a more involved process. However, our service is still significantly more affordable than going to a main dealer.
Q: How long does it take to make a new key when all are lost?
A: From arrival, the entire process of gaining entry, cutting a new key, and programming it is typically completed efficiently for most vehicles.
Q: Is my car safe if someone finds my lost key?
A: After our service, yes. Because we erase the old key from the immobiliser system, it becomes nothing more than a tool to open the door manually. It will not be able to start the car, foiling any potential thief.
