How Our Kennington Auto Locksmith Service Works
We aim to resolve your vehicle key or lock problem on the spot with minimal disruption.
- Assessment and Non-Destructive Entry
- We identify your vehicle’s lock and security system, then use specialist picks and air wedges to open the car without damage wherever possible.
- In rare cases where drilling or component removal is the safest option (e.g., severely damaged locks), we’ll explain it first and only proceed with your consent.
- Car Key Replacement and Cutting
- We decode locks and cut keys accurately using high-security cutting equipment, including laser cut car keys for modern models.
- Car Key Programming and Diagnostics
- Using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2 key programming, and when required EEPROM/immobiliser programming, we pair new transponder or smart keys to your car and clear any immobiliser faults.
- We handle proximity and push-to-start systems as well as traditional transponder chips.
- Testing and Handover
- We test locking, unlocking, and engine start, and provide guidance on key care. Our keys and workmanship come with clear warranties.
If your issue is specifically about a non-working fob, see our guide to key fob not working for likely causes and solutions.
