Once you have gathered the information mentioned above, the next step is simple: call us! We offer a 24/7 emergency service, so don’t be afraid to call us any time – even if it’s midnight on a Saturday!

Step 3:

We arrive at your location to replace your lost or stolen keys

Once you’ve called us and supplied the information we need, the rest is up to us! We will arrive at your location and gain entry to your vehicle. This is usually done by activating the internal locking bar or handle, although on more modern, luxury cars it might be necessary to use specialised lock picks.

After our expert locksmith has gained entry to your car, we will take the following steps where required:

1. We cut a physical key blade which is cut to code just like a key from the factory. Guv’nor Locksmiths uses a top-of-the-range computerised key cutting machine that was made in Italy
2. Once Guv’nor Locksmiths have made a working key, we will then programme the immobiliser transponder chip to the vehicle. Most cars from 1996 all have transponder chips – and this is what allows the vehicle to start. Programming the transponder chip to the car’s immobiliser is the most crucial step.
3. If you prefer a car remote as well, Guv’nor Locksmiths can then recommend an after-market flip key. These are stylish, strong and very cost effective compared to genuine remotes.
4. Guv’nor Locksmiths will then programme the remote and check for correct function.
5. The last step is to go over the job with you and check all keys and remotes for correct function.
