Vehicle Unlocking – Non‑Destructive Entry
Locked out of your car in Globe Town?
We provide a car unlock service using specialist non‑destructive entry techniques. That means we aim to open your vehicle without damaging the lock, paintwork or window.
We routinely help with:
- Keys locked in the boot
- Keys left on the seat with the car deadlocked
- Child or pet locked in the car (handled as priority emergencies)
- Faulty door locks or broken handles
In rare situations (for example, severely damaged locks), small mechanical work may be needed. We always explain the options and get your consent before any work that might cause minor cosmetic impact. For more details, see our dedicated Vehicle Unlocking service.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
If you are down to one working key, it is a smart idea to get a spare car key made before there is an emergency.
We offer:
- Car key cutting from an existing key or key code
- Car key duplication for most modern makes and models
- Laser‑cut car keys and high‑security key profiles
- Key blade replacement for worn or bent keys
We cut and test your new key on your vehicle to make sure it works smoothly in the lock and ignition. You can read more on our Car Key Cutting & Duplication page.
Car Key Programming & Key Fob Repairs
Modern vehicles usually contain a transponder or smart chip in the key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If this is not programmed correctly, the car will not start, even if the key turns in the barrel.
In Globe Town we carry out:
- Car key programming for new and replacement keys
- Transponder key programming via OBD2 diagnostics
- Smart key programming and keyless entry fobs
- Key fob programming service after battery replacement or water damage
- EEPROM and ECU / immobiliser programming for more complex faults
We use dealer‑level diagnostic tools to safely pair new keys, reset immobiliser systems and resolve “key not detected” issues. Find out more on our Car Key Programming in East London page, or use our Key Fob Not Working help if your remote has suddenly failed.

FAQs – Auto Locksmith in Globe Town
Can you make a new car key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new car key without the original, using your vehicle identification number (VIN), lock details, or by reading data from the immobiliser with specialist EEPROM or OBD2 equipment. This is ideal if your keys are completely lost or stolen in Globe Town. We will also advise you about deleting old keys from the system for security.
Will you damage my car when unlocking it?
Our priority is non‑destructive entry. We use specialist tools and techniques designed to open locks without damage to the lock or bodywork. On the rare occasion that a lock is already damaged or an unusual security feature is present, we will clearly explain any risks and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does it take to get a new car key in Globe Town?
Most standard car key replacement jobs can be completed in a single visit, often within one appointment at your location. More complex keys (for example, high‑security smart keys or vehicles with immobiliser faults) can take longer because of programming and security checks, but we will give you an estimated timeframe when you contact us.
Do you cover all makes and models?
We work with most UK and European brands, including Ford, Vauxhall, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi, Mercedes‑Benz, Nissan, Toyota, Peugeot, Renault, Kia, Hyundai, Land Rover, Mini and more. For very rare or specialist imports, call us with your vehicle details and we will confirm what we can do.
Is it cheaper to use a local auto locksmith than a dealer?
In many cases, yes. A local auto locksmith in East London can usually provide car key replacement or programming without the need for towing, and without the dealer waiting times. Labour and key costs are often more competitive too. For more about cost factors, see our page on auto locksmith prices in East London.

Yes, we provide an emergency auto locksmith service across Globe Town and E2, including evenings and weekends. If you are locked out, have locked keys in the car, or cannot start your vehicle, call us straight away. You can also visit our dedicated Emergency Auto Locksmith East London page.
