Lost Or Stolen Car Keys In E10–E15
If your lost car keys have disappeared while out jogging around Temple Mills, commuting, or visiting friends, you may need:
- A new car key without the original
- Existing keys erased from the car’s immobiliser
- The remote central locking re‑programmed for security
We can safely delete missing keys from your vehicle’s ECU/immobiliser and provide immediate car key replacement on the spot, so any stolen keys will no longer start your vehicle.
For more detail on this type of problem, see our page on lost or stolen car keys.

Common situations we see in Temple Mills:
- Car key snapped in the driver’s door or boot lock
- Key blade twisted after forcing a stiff lock
- Plastic fob cracked or the flip key will not stay out
We offer broken car key extraction, damaged car key repair, and can cut and program a new key while you wait. If your key is stuck in the ignition or the key will not turn, our technicians can also diagnose and repair car ignition issues.
You can read more about this on our broken car key page.
Key Fob Or Remote Suddenly Not Working
Modern key fobs can fail without warning:
- Key fob not responding even after changing the battery
- “Key not detected” messages on push‑to‑start vehicles
- Central locking working only on some doors
We provide a complete key fob programming service, checking:
- Transponder communication with the immobiliser

If needed, we can supply and program a new fob or smart key, including proximity key replacement and keyless entry programming, all at the roadside or on your driveway in Temple Mills.

How Our Temple Mills Auto Locksmith Service Works
1. Quick Diagnosis Over The Phone
When you call, we will ask a few simple questions:
- Vehicle make, model and year
- Your location in Temple Mills or nearby
- What happened (lost keys, locked out, key snapped, car not starting, etc.)
This allows us to give you a clear, tailored quote and arrive with the right keys, tools and programming equipment.
2. Mobile Arrival At Your Location
Our vans are fully equipped workshops, carrying:
- High‑security car key cutting machines (including laser cut keys)
- Dealer-level OBD2 key programming tools
- EEPROM and ECU / immobiliser programming equipment for more complex jobs
- Professional non-destructive entry tools for locks and ignitions
We come to you anywhere around Temple Mills – residential roads, business estates, multi‑storey car parks, train or bus stations – as long as we can safely access the vehicle.
3. Non-Destructive Vehicle Entry Wherever Possible
To unlock your vehicle, we typically use:
- Lock picks and decoders to manipulate the lock without damage
- Air wedges and specialist tools for safe door access
- Manufacturer‑specific techniques for particular makes like Ford, VW or BMW
Only in rare cases, such as severely damaged locks or previous tampering, might drilling or replacement be needed. If that situation arises, we will:
- Explain the reason clearly
- Provide options and costs
- Get your consent before going ahead
4. Cutting And Programming New Keys
Once we have secure access to your car, we can:
- Cut a new key to code or decode the lock

We handle:
- Standard and flip remote keys
- Smart keys / proximity keys for push‑button start vehicles
- Spare car keys and full vehicle key replacement when all keys are lost
Our car key programming service uses dealer-level diagnostics across a wide range of brands, often faster and more convenient than main dealers.
5. Final Checks, Advice And Warranty
Before we leave, we will:

- Check the car locks and ignition are operating smoothly

All new keys and workmanship come with a warranty, and we are always available for follow‑up support.

FAQs – Temple Mills Auto Locksmith
Can You Make A New Car Key Without The Original?
Yes. In most cases we can make a new car key without the original by decoding the lock or using manufacturer data and then programming the new key into your vehicle’s immobiliser. This is a common service when all keys are lost in Temple Mills.
Will You Damage My Car When Unlocking It?
Our goal is non-destructive entry. We use specialist lock picks, wedges and decoding tools designed specifically for vehicle locks. Only in rare circumstances, such as badly damaged locks or previous attempted break‑ins, would we need to use more invasive methods, which we always discuss with you beforehand.
How Long Does It Take To Get A New Car Key?
Most standard jobs (where we can access the vehicle and immobiliser) are completed in a single visit. The actual cutting and car key programming can often be done within one appointment at your Temple Mills location. More complex models or ECU issues may take longer, but we will advise you as soon as we diagnose the issue.
