Security, Immobilisers, and Anti-Theft Considerations
Ford vehicles use immobiliser chips and rolling code systems that require accurate programming. If your Ford won’t start, shows a key symbol on the dash, or says “Key not detected,” our diagnostics can confirm whether the fault lies with:
- The key’s transponder or smart proximity module
- The vehicle’s antenna/receiver
- The immobiliser ECU or sync issues after battery replacements
- Central locking modules or door lock actuators
We can also perform a vehicle security assessment and, where appropriate, recommend anti-theft key programming updates or lock/loop upgrades for vans frequently targeted by thieves.
What To Do If You’ve Lost All Ford Keys
- Stay safe and confirm your exact location.
- Have your vehicle details ready (model, year, reg/VIN if available).
- Call us to arrange mobile key creation and programming.
- We can erase missing keys from your Ford’s system so they won’t start the vehicle if found later.
If you’re comparing options, our mobile service is typically quicker and more convenient than a main dealer, which may require towing and long lead times. For an overview of what affects cost, visit our auto locksmith prices in West London page.

FAQs: Ford Auto Locksmith West London
Can you make a Ford key without the original?
Yes. We can cut and program new Ford keys from your vehicle using dealer-level diagnostics. Lost keys can be erased from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car. If you’re weighing up options, see our guidance on car key replacement.
How long does it take to replace a Ford key?
Many Ford keys can be cut and programmed the same day, often in a single mobile visit. Timing depends on the model, year, and key type (standard transponder, remote flip, or smart/proximity).
My Ford says “Key not detected.” What should I do?
This could be a flat key battery, a proximity antenna issue, or a problem with the immobiliser. Try a known location inside the vehicle where the emergency start coil is (often near the steering column or centre console). If it still won’t start, we can diagnose and provide key fob repair or programming.
Can you program a spare key for my Ford Transit fleet?
Absolutely. We regularly provide spare and replacement keys for Transits and Transit Customs at depots and on job sites, including ECU/immobiliser programming and remote key set-up.
Will you damage my Ford when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. If, in rare cases, a destructive approach is unavoidable due to severe lock failure, we’ll explain the reasons, costs, and remedial work before proceeding.
How is your service different from going to a Ford dealer?
Our mobile service saves time and towing, and we can often deliver keys faster. We use dealer-level tools, and you get on-site cutting, programming, and testing—often the same day. Read about cost factors on our Affordable Auto Locksmith Prices in West London page.
