Key Types

Key types we cut

Car key technology varies across makes, models, and years. We cut all of the following.

Laser-cut keys

Also known as sidewinder or internal cut keys. Used across BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW, and many others. Require specialist cutting equipment — we carry it as standard.

Standard blade keys

Traditional keys cut by profile on conventional cutting machines. Used across Ford, Vauxhall, older Toyotas, and more.

High-security keys

Keys with multiple security features built into the blade profile, common on premium vehicles. Cut to exact tolerances at your location.

Flip key blades

How it works

Call us with your vehicle details.

We’ll need your make, model, and year, and whether you have an original key to copy from. We’ll confirm your key type and give you a fixed quote.

We come to you.

Our mobile van arrives with the cutting equipment matched to your vehicle. You don’t need to go anywhere.

We cut your key on-site.

The blade is cut to the correct profile for your vehicle’s lock.

We test it and program if needed.

FAQs

Car key cutting FAQs

Can you cut a key without the original?

Yes. We can cut a new key from your vehicle’s lock data or VIN. No original key is required. Call us to confirm for your specific make and model.

Do you cut keys for all makes and models?

We cut keys for the vast majority of vehicles on UK roads, including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota, and more.

Can you cut and program a key in the same visit?

Yes. If your key needs both cutting and programming — including transponder coding or fob syncing — we handle both in one visit. You won’t need to go anywhere.

How long does mobile key cutting take?

Most key cutting jobs take 20 to 40 minutes on-site. If programming is included, allow up to 60 minutes. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe when you call.

Is mobile key cutting more expensive than a shop?

Our prices are competitive with key cutting shops, and you get the convenience of a mobile service. There’s no need to arrange recovery or travel to a locksmith. Call us for a free quote.

Can you cut a laser-cut or high-security key?

Yes. We carry specialist cutting equipment for laser-cut, sidewinder, and high-security key profiles, which are commonly found on BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and other premium vehicles.

Can you cut a van or commercial vehicle key?

Yes. We cut keys for Transit vans, Sprinters, Vivaros, and all common commercial vehicles across Kent. Call us to confirm for your specific vehicle.

What if the key you cut doesn’t work?

We test every key at your vehicle before we leave. If a key doesn’t operate the lock correctly, we recut or adjust it on the spot. We don’t leave until it’s working.
