Common Horton Auto Locksmith Questions
Can you unlock my car without damage?
Yes—our technicians use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. We use specialist picks and techniques designed for modern vehicle locks. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is necessary, we’ll explain why and get your approval before proceeding.
I’ve lost my only car key in Horton. Can you make a new one without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new key without the original for most vehicles. We’ll verify ownership and then cut and program on site. If needed, we can also deauthorise lost or stolen keys for security. For a complete service overview, see Car Key Replacement.
My key fob has stopped working. Is it the battery or programming?
It could be either. We test the fob, replace the battery if required, and reprogram the remote or transponder if it has lost sync. If your dash shows “key not detected”, it may be an immobiliser or antenna issue, which we can diagnose with OBD2 equipment. Read more under Key Fob Not Working.
Do you provide spare keys in Horton?
Absolutely. We cut and program spare car keys—standard, remote, and smart/proximity keys—at your location in Horton. Having a spare saves time, money, and stress if a key goes missing later. Explore Car Key Cutting & Duplication.
