How Our North Kensington Car Locksmith Service Works
We aim to solve issues at your location in one visit with professional, non-destructive methods wherever possible. If a rare destructive method is unavoidable (for instance, on severely damaged or aftermarket locks), we’ll explain your options and costs clearly before proceeding.
- Assessment and Access
- We identify your vehicle, key type, and fault. For lockouts, we use specialist picks and air-wedge tools for non-destructive entry.
- On-Vehicle Diagnostics
- Dealer-level equipment, OBD2 diagnostics, and immobiliser tools help us read PINs, pair keys, and diagnose ECU or central locking problems.
- Key Cutting and Programming
- We cut laser or standard blades on-site, then carry out transponder key programming, smart key programming, or remote key programming. For some models, EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming is used.
- Testing and Handover
- We test door locks, boot, remote buttons, and start/stop (push-to-start where fitted), ensuring everything works before we leave. Workmanship and keys are backed by our warranty.
