When You Need a Toyota Auto Locksmith in East London
Whether you drive a small Toyota Aygo or a workhorse Hilux, key and lock problems tend to strike at the worst possible time. Common situations we help Toyota drivers with across East London include:
- Lost Toyota car keys – Misplaced at home, at work, at Westfield Stratford, Canary Wharf, or on a night out in Shoreditch
- Stolen Toyota keys – You need your vehicle secured, locks re-coded and new keys supplied
- Locked out of your Toyota – Keys locked in the boot at London City Airport, left on the seat, or trapped in the ignition
- Toyota car key snapped or damaged – Key blade broken in the door, ignition, or simply too worn to work properly
- Toyota key not working – Your remote key or smart fob has stopped unlocking or will not start the car
- Key symbol on dashboard – Immobiliser light flashing or solid; the car will not recognise the key and will not start
- Toyota central locking problems – One door not responding, intermittent locking or unlocking issues
- Need a Toyota spare key – You only have one working key and want a spare for peace of mind or to protect resale value
If any of these problems sound familiar, our mobile Toyota car locksmith service in East London can come to you at the roadside, at home, or at work and get you moving again.

Emergency Toyota Vehicle Unlocking
Locked your keys inside your Toyota? We offer a non-destructive entry locksmith service for most Toyota models, using advanced lock-picking tools and techniques.
We deal with:
- Keys locked in the boot of a Toyota Auris or Corolla
- Keys left on the front seat of a Toyota Prius or Yaris
- Doors deadlocked with keys visible but unreachable
- Child lock situations where keys and children are inside the car
Wherever possible we use non-destructive entry methods, meaning:
- No damage to locks, windows or seals in normal circumstances
- Any rare need for drilling or minor damage is explained before work begins
If you are locked out of another make of vehicle, our general Vehicle Unlocking service in East London covers all brands.
Toyota Car Key Programming and Immobiliser Work
Modern Toyota keys and smart fobs contain transponders and rolling codes that must match your car’s immobiliser. Our technicians are trained and equipped to handle:
- Transponder key programming for standard Toyota keys
- Smart key programming for proximity/push-to-start systems
- Remote key programming for lock/unlock functions
- ECU / immobiliser programming when keys are lost or the system is corrupted
- EEPROM key programming for certain Toyota models where data must be read and written from the immobiliser or ECU chips
We use dealer-level diagnostics and safe procedures to add new keys, delete missing or stolen keys, and ensure your Toyota’s immobiliser recognises only authorised keys.
You can learn more about our advanced programming services on our dedicated Car Key Programming page.
Broken Toyota Car Key and Ignition Issues
A broken or stuck Toyota key can quickly escalate into a bigger problem if forced. We offer:
- Broken Toyota car key extraction – Removing snapped blades from door locks or ignitions
- Ignition key repair – Restoring damaged blades and correcting worn profiles
- Toyota ignition repair and replacement – When the barrel has failed or been damaged
- Steering lock repair – Where the steering lock is jammed and the key will not turn
Our standard approach is to repair rather than replace where possible, to keep costs down and disruption minimal. If the ignition or lock is beyond repair, we can fit and code replacement units to work with your existing keys, or supply new keys to match the new components.
If you are unsure whether the problem is with the key, lock, or ignition, our Car Lock and Ignition Issues guide may help you identify the symptoms.
Faulty Toyota Key Fob and Remote Problems
Toyota remote keys and smart fobs can fail for several reasons, including internal circuit damage, worn buttons, or battery leakage. We can often repair rather than replace:
- Key fob battery replacement
- Button and shell replacement
- Flip key repair and key blade replacement
- Key fob not responding diagnostics and re-synchronisation
When repair is not viable, we can provide key fob replacement, including smart fobs, and programme them to your Toyota using our key fob programming service.
If your Toyota fob has suddenly stopped working, have a look at our Key Fob Not Working help page for common causes and solutions.
Toyota Models We Regularly Work On
We handle keys and locks for most Toyota vehicles on UK roads today, including:
- Small & family cars – Aygo, Yaris, Yaris Hybrid, Corolla, Auris

FAQs – Toyota Keys and Locks in East London
Can you make a new Toyota key without the original?
Yes. We can usually create a new Toyota car key without the original by:
- Reading the key code from your Toyota’s locks or ECU
- Using specialist decoding tools and immobiliser programming
- Programming a new transponder or smart key so the car recognises it
This avoids the need to tow your car to a dealer and is often the quickest way to get back on the road.
What should I do if I lose all my Toyota keys in East London?
Stay calm and:
- Make sure your Toyota is secure and note its location.
- If you think the keys were stolen, report it to the police and inform your insurer.
- Call 020 4634 3057 with your Toyota’s model, year and location.
We can come to you, supply and programme new keys, and can also delete the lost keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car.
For more detail, see our guide on Lost or Stolen Car Keys.
Why is my Toyota key fob not working?
Common reasons include:
- A flat key fob battery
- Worn buttons or internal circuit damage
- The fob has lost synchronisation with your Toyota
- Immobiliser or central locking faults
We can test your Toyota key fob, replace its battery or case, and reprogramme the remote or supply a new fob if needed. Our Key Fob Not Working help page covers common warning signs and fixes.
How long does it take to get a new Toyota car key?
In many cases we can cut and programme a new Toyota key during a single visit, often in under an hour once on-site, depending on:
- Your Toyota model and year
- Whether you still have a working key
- The type of key (standard, remote, or smart/proximity)
We will give you a realistic time estimate when you call, based on your specific situation.
Will you damage my Toyota when unlocking it?
Our locksmiths use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, such as precision lock-picking and specialist tools. In the vast majority of Toyota lockouts, we can unlock the vehicle without any damage.
In the rare situation where drilling or other invasive methods are the only safe option (for example, a severely damaged lock), we will explain this in advance and get your clear permission before proceeding.
Can you replace Toyota keys for vans like the Hilux and ProAce?
Yes. We regularly work on Toyota commercial vehicles, including Hilux pickups and ProAce vans. We can:
- Replace lost or broken keys
- Provide spare keys for fleet and business vehicles
- Repair locks and ignitions used heavily for work
If you operate multiple vehicles, we can also discuss convenient solutions for your fleet. For broader van support, see our Van & Commercial Locksmith service.
