Our Complete Auto Locksmith Services in Petersfield
Car Key Replacement
Lost your only key? We can create a new car key from scratch, even without the original. Our mobile units carry blank keys for all major manufacturers, and we cut and program on-site while you wait.
Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles require specialist programming to recognise new keys. We use OBD2 diagnostics and EEPROM programming for advanced immobiliser systems, covering everything from basic transponder keys to smart proximity fobs and push-to-start systems.
Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out of your car? Our non-destructive entry techniques open your vehicle without damage. We use professional lock-picking tools and air wedges to gain access safely, preserving your locks, paintwork, and warranty.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a spare key before a long journey? We cut and program duplicate keys for all makes and models, including laser-cut high-security keys and remote fobs. Having a spare prevents the stress and cost of emergency replacement later.
