Car key and vehicle lock services in Frogmore
Car key replacement
If your keys are lost, stolen, or damaged beyond repair, we can cut and programme replacement keys at your vehicle. This includes standard metal keys, remote keys, and smart proximity keys where supported. Read more about car key replacement options.
Car key programming
Modern vehicles require transponder chips and remote functions to be paired with the immobiliser system. We programme keys to your vehicle’s ECU or BCM using diagnostic equipment where appropriate. Details on car key programming are available for different key types.
Vehicle unlocking
If you are locked out with the keys inside, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to open the vehicle without damaging the lock, paint, or trim. See vehicle unlocking for more information.
Spare and duplicate keys
Having a spare key can prevent future lockouts. We can cut and programme duplicate keys while you wait, often at a lower cost than replacing a lost key set. Learn about car key cutting and duplication.
Van and commercial vehicles
We also assist with van locks, high-security deadlocks, and commercial vehicle key systems. Visit our van and commercial locksmith page for details.
Common problems we handle include lost or stolen car keys, broken car keys, and key fobs not working.

FAQs about auto locksmiths in Frogmore
Can you replace a lost car key in Frogmore?
Yes. We can cut and programme a replacement key at your vehicle, provided we can confirm ownership and the vehicle’s immobiliser system is supported. The process usually takes longer than cutting a spare key because the vehicle may need to be decoded.
Can you unlock my car without damage?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. However, the method depends on your specific vehicle model, lock condition, and whether the vehicle is deadlocked. We discuss any risks before proceeding.
Can you programme a spare or replacement key?
Yes, we programme transponder keys, remote fobs, and smart keys where compatible with your vehicle’s system. Some newer vehicles require specialist diagnostic access or pin codes, which we check before attending.
What affects the cost of an auto locksmith job?
Costs depend on the vehicle make, model, and year, the type of key required, whether a working key is available for cloning, the condition of the locks or ignition, and whether the vehicle is immobilised. We provide a quote based on these factors.
Do I need to take the car to a dealer?
Not usually. A mobile auto locksmith can often replace and programme keys on site, saving you the cost and delay of dealer recovery and workshop appointments. However, some very new or specialist vehicles may have restricted systems that require dealer intervention.
What details should I have ready when I call?
Please have your vehicle registration, make, model, year, exact location, and a brief description of the problem (e.g., keys locked inside, lost keys, key broken in ignition). This allows us to bring the correct blanks and programming tools.
