- Lost car keys or stolen keys with no spare
- Locked keys in the car or boot at the shops or gym
- Key fob not responding, intermittent remote locking, or “key not detected”
- Broken or snapped key blade, or a cracked flip key housing
- Worn key that won’t turn the ignition or sticks in the barrel
- Dead key fob battery or water-damaged remote after rain

Dacia Car Key Replacement And Programming
We offer a full suite of Dacia car key services in West London:
- Dacia key replacement and spare keys: Cutting and coding brand-new keys and remotes for all popular models
- Transponder key programming: Programming the chip inside your key so it “talks” to your Dacia’s immobiliser
- Smart key and proximity key services: Keyless entry fobs supplied and configured, including push-to-start systems
- Key fob repair and refurbishment: Switch repairs, housing replacements, key blade replacement, and re-soldering where appropriate
- Non-destructive vehicle unlocking: Professional lock-picking and door opening when keys are locked inside
- Ignition and lock repairs: Assessment and repair if your key won’t turn, including worn wafers and barrel issues
- ECU/immobiliser diagnostics: OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM or immobiliser programming on select systems
A transponder is a small chip in your key that communicates with your car’s immobiliser. If it’s not programmed correctly, the car will crank but won’t start—or it may not crank at all. Our dealer-level equipment lets us program Dacia keys at the roadside without towing to a main dealer.
Supported Dacia Models
We cover most Dacia models regularly seen across West London, including:
- Dacia Duster (all generations, including 2024)
- Dacia Sandero and Sandero Stepway
- Dacia Jogger
- Dacia Logan and Logan MCV
- Dacia Lodgy (imports and older UK registrations)
- Dacia Spring (where supported for UK-market vehicles)
If your model isn’t listed, we can still likely help. Contact us with your registration and location for quick confirmation.

Dacia Key Technology Explained
Modern Dacia vehicles typically use transponder-based immobilisers and, on newer models, proximity/smart keys. Here’s what that means for you:
- Transponder keys: Contain a chip that must match your car’s immobiliser code. We handle transponder key programming at the roadside
- Remote fobs: Control central locking and often the boot release. We supply and code new remotes and repair faults in existing fobs
- Smart/proximity keys: Allow keyless entry and push-button start. We can pair new fobs, replace lost ones, and perform anti-theft programming steps
- High-security key cutting: Many Dacia keys are laser cut for improved security; our on-van machines cut these precisely
If your dash shows a key symbol or “Key Not Detected”, it can be a programming issue, a failing fob battery, or an immobiliser antenna fault. We diagnose before we fix, so you only pay for what you need.
Security And Peace Of Mind
Your vehicle’s security is paramount. When replacing lost Dacia keys, we can:
- Erase missing keys from the immobiliser memory
- Add or remove keys as requested
- Recode locks if required (rare, but available for theft-sensitive cases)
- Provide practical advice on safeguarding keys and fobs in busy areas like Kensington High Street, Oxford Street approaches, or Westfield Shepherd’s Bush
We also support small fleets and tradespeople running Dacia Jogger or Duster-based vehicles across West London, with convenient on-site service and consolidated booking.

Dacia Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can you make a Dacia key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Dacia key from your vehicle using specialist decoding tools and immobiliser programming. This is a common request when all keys are lost.
How long does it take to replace and program a Dacia key?
Most Dacia key replacements are completed in a single mobile visit. Timing varies by model and key type, but we aim to get you back on the road efficiently the same day wherever possible.
Will you damage my Dacia when unlocking it?
We use professional, non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is the only secure option, we’ll explain the reasons and cost before any work begins.
My Dacia says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try a fresh key fob battery first and hold the fob near the start button (there’s often a backup antenna). If it still fails, the transponder, antenna ring, or immobiliser may need attention. We can diagnose and fix this on-site.
Can you delete lost or stolen keys from my Dacia?
Yes. We can erase missing keys from your immobiliser system so they won’t start the vehicle, then supply and program new keys or fobs.
Is a mobile locksmith faster than a main dealer for Dacia keys?
Often, yes. We come to your location, saving you recovery and waiting time. Our dealer-level diagnostics let us cut and code keys at the roadside for many Dacia models.
