Our Auto Locksmith Services in Cranleigh
Car Key Replacement
If you need a new car key cut in Cranleigh, we can create replacement keys for all vehicle types—from standard remote fobs to smart keys and proximity keys with push-button start. We cut keys to code using dealer-level equipment and program them to your vehicle’s immobiliser system on-site.
Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles require specialist transponder key programming and ECU communication to accept new keys. Our technicians use OBD2 diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM programming for advanced security systems. This includes keyless entry programming, remote key synchronisation, and immobiliser reset after lost key situations.
Vehicle Unlocking
Our emergency car unlocking service prioritises non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. We use professional lock-picking tools and air wedges to access your vehicle without damaging paintwork, window seals, or locking mechanisms. In rare cases where destructive entry is unavoidable—such as with certain high-security locks—we always discuss this with you first and explain your options.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a spare car key before you lose your only one? We recommend all Cranleigh drivers keep a duplicate. We can cut and program spare keys at your home, workplace, or any convenient location across GU6, typically at a lower cost than main dealer prices.
Van & Commercial Locksmith
Cranleigh’s business community relies on vans and commercial vehicles. We provide van key replacement, fleet key management, and commercial vehicle unlocking for Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, and other popular models.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Cranleigh?
We aim to reach Cranleigh and GU6 locations promptly, with efficient dispatch from our nearest mobile unit. Exact timing depends on current job locations and traffic conditions, but our local presence means faster response than national competitors.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create replacement keys from your vehicle’s lock or ignition barrel, or using diagnostic programming even when all keys are lost. This is often faster and more affordable than dealer replacement.
Do you work on weekends and evenings?
Absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency auto locksmith services across Cranleigh, including weekends, bank holidays, and late nights. Car key emergencies don’t follow business hours.
Will programming a new key affect my other keys?
When we program new keys, we can typically retain existing working keys in the system. If keys are lost or stolen, we recommend erasing the missing keys from the immobiliser memory for security.
Are you cheaper than main dealers for key replacement?
Typically yes. Our mobile service eliminates recovery and labour charges, and our key prices are competitive with—often significantly below—main dealer rates. We also save you time and inconvenience.
