FAQs: Ford Keys and Locks

Can you make a new Ford key without the original?

Yes. We can create and program a new Ford key without the original at your location. Using diagnostic tools, approved key blanks, and immobiliser programming, we produce a working key and, if needed, remove the lost key from the system.

Do I need to go to a Ford dealer for key programming?

In most cases, no. Our dealer-level equipment allows us to handle Ford key programming, including smart keys and proximity systems, on your driveway. This is often faster and more convenient than booking with a dealer.

My Ford key fob is not working—what should I try first?

Try a fresh battery and ensure the contacts are clean. If it still fails, the fob may need resynchronising or repair. We offer diagnostics, key fob repair and programming, and replacements if the PCB is faulty.

Can you unlock my Ford without damaging it?

Yes, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, employing specialist picks and decoding tools for Ford locks. If a lock is already damaged, we’ll discuss options and get your agreement before any alternative methods.

How long does Ford key replacement take?

Many Ford keys can be cut and programmed in one visit, often within an appointment window the same day, depending on model and key type. We confirm expected timings when you call.

Do you cover Ford Transit and Transit Custom vans?

Absolutely. We regularly handle Transit and Transit Custom key replacement, programming, and unlocking, including fleet support through our van and commercial locksmith service.
