Frequently Asked Questions


How long does it take to create a new key for my vehicle?

The time required can vary depending on your vehicle’s make, model, and key type. However, our experienced locksmiths usually cut and program keys within 30 to 90 minutes. In many cases, we can complete the job during a single visit with no need for a dealership.

Can you program transponder keys or remote keys?

Yes — we’re fully equipped to program transponder keys, remote keys, smart keys, and proximity fobs. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we ensure that your new key integrates perfectly with your car’s security system.

Do you offer emergency locksmith services?

Absolutely. We offer 24/7 emergency callouts. Whether you’re locked out late at night or need immediate help after losing your keys, we’ll dispatch a technician quickly to your location anywhere in North West Lancashire.

How do you ensure the security of my vehicle during non-destructive entry?

Our locksmiths use specialist tools and advanced techniques to gain access without damaging your vehicle. This protects your locks, paintwork, and doors while preserving the integrity of your vehicle's factory security.

Can you replace a faulty ignition or steering lock?
