What information do I need to give to the locksmith?
To replace your car keys, the assigned locksmith will need to have the following information at his disposal:
- The make of the vehicle
- The model of the vehicle
- The year of purchase
- The car registration details
- The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The above information is necessary for the locksmith to understand the type of key that your vehicle needs. The VIN is normally located on the dashboard, on the driver’s side.
The locksmith will need the relevant documents which will confirm that you are the owner of the vehicle.
Can the locksmith help me also If I don't have the key code?
Contrary to popular belief, if you do not have the key code, your auto locksmith can still create a new car key provided you give him the following information — the vehicle’s model, make, and year of manufacture, vehicle registration number, VIN, or vehicle identification number, personal identification, and your present location.
How long does it take to make a new car key?
An able locksmith should be able to replace your car keys within 30 minutes to an hour. The time taken varies depending on the specific situation with your vehicle, the type of car key that needs to be integrated, and the level of programming that is necessary.
Do I have a warranty on the keys?
Insurance companies offer a Key Replacement Cover for your car keys. It is usually an add-on to your vehicle’s Comprehensive Insurance Policy but not a standalone cover. If you pay an additional premium, this Key Replacement Add-on will cover the cost incurred by you for replacing the car keys of your insured vehicle’s key. This cover is applicable if you lose your car keys or they are stolen or damaged or covers the bill you have paid to fix or repair the lock-set in case the key or lock is damaged. However, this cover comes with a rider and also has a list of exclusions where you will not be covered such as failure to produce an invoice or receipts for the claim or payments made, etc.
Which areas do you cover?
Having centres in areas like Barnet, Bromley, Croydon, and Hertfordshire, UK Auto Locksmith offers 24/7 Automotive Locksmith Services almost in all areas in great London, including lost car key replacement, emergency car lockout, and key and remote repair services.
Can I Claim Insurance for the Lost Keys?
If your keys are stolen or misplaced, having car insurance with roadside assistance coverage can ease your situation. However, you will often be responsible for paying for new keys.
The only exemption is when you have comprehensive insurance. This policy covers a stolen car and its keys.
Lost car keys may be covered in the event of theft by other insurance policies, such as homeowners’ insurance or renters’ insurance, which includes personal property coverage.
However, before deciding whether it’s worthwhile to file a claim for your lost car keys, consider the advantages, disadvantages, and frequency of such an event.
What to Do If I Lost the Car Key and Have No Spare?
Previously, lost car keys were not a big concern.
As vehicles have become more technologically sophisticated, so too have their keys, whose replacement can be more expensive.
If you don’t have a spare key, you should contact a car locksmith immediately so they can examine the problem and advise you.
Without the necessary knowledge, attempting anything on your own can worsen your problem.
What to Do If I Keep Losing My Keys?
Most keys don’t have tracking technology.
However, some devices will allow you to track your lost car keys if it happens often. These gadgets are key ring-attachable and enable you to manage them using an app on your phone.
How Much Does It Cost to Unlock a Car If I Lost the Key?
A car lockout occurs when the owner fails to access their vehicle. Reach out to a nearby locksmith to help you unlock it.
Typically, the least amount to expect for a locksmith to unlock your vehicle is £90. However, it can be as high as £250 or even more.
An example is when your key breaks and you don’t have a spare. Expect to shell out about £170 to unlock the car and have a new key made.
If your key broke within the lock and a fragment was left inside, the cost of extracting the broken key will affect the price. The cost of a broken key extraction alone is about £70.
Can a Lost Car Key Replacement Be Cheap?
Modern key technologies offer exceptional security features.
However, these also make it a bit expensive to replace your car keys when you lose them. This is because the locksmith doesn’t just have to cut a new key but will also have to program it specifically to your vehicle.
The skills and tools used for this process make a car key replacement costly.
Where to Find a Lost Car Key Replacement near Me?
