How Our Porsche Auto Locksmith Service Works
We use dealer-level diagnostics and manufacturer-appropriate methods to protect your vehicle and data while restoring access and functionality.
-
Non-Destructive Vehicle Unlocking
- We use specialist picks and air wedges to gain entry without damage wherever possible. On Porsches with double-locking, we apply model-specific techniques and explain any rare exceptions before work starts. See our dedicated car unlock service in West London.
-
Porsche Key Replacement And Cutting
- When you’ve lost all keys or need a spare, we cut high-security blades (including laser-cut keys) to OEM spec. We can create a new key from your lock/ignition data if you don’t have the original. For emergency situations, we offer same-day mobile key creation where practical. Learn more about our car key replacement in West London.
-
Porsche Key Programming And Immobiliser
- Porsche models use transponder systems and, on newer vehicles, proximity smart keys. We carry out transponder and smart key programming via OBD2 where supported and use EEPROM/ECU techniques when needed. Our equipment covers immobiliser reset/synchronisation, remote key programming, and fault code diagnostics. Explore our specialist Car Key Programming.
-
Fault Finding And Repairs
- If your Porsche key fob stopped working suddenly, we test the fob, battery, and vehicle receiver, and perform central locking diagnostics. We can repair or replace damaged key shells, flip mechanisms, and buttons, and address ignition/steering lock problems as required. For ignition and lock problems, see car lock and ignition issues.
-
Data Security And Verification
- We verify ownership and ID before producing new Porsche keys or altering immobiliser data to protect against misuse. Your vehicle’s security is our priority.
When You Might Need Porsche Key Programming
You’ll generally need programming on these occasions:
- All keys lost for any Porsche model
- Adding a spare key to avoid future lockouts or loss
- Fob not recognised by the vehicle (key not detected)
- Remote central locking not operating after battery change
- ECU, immobiliser, steering lock or ignition switch repairs triggering re-synchronisation
- Upgrading to a new remote or proximity key
We handle transponder key programming, smart key programming, keyless entry programming, and ECU/immobiliser programming for Porsche with advanced tools that are the equivalent of dealer systems. For some late models, EEPROM key programming or secure procedures may be required; we’ll explain clearly what’s involved before any work begins.

- Model and year (immobiliser generation)
- Key type (remote vs proximity)
- Whether you still have a working key
- On-site access and timing (standard vs emergency)
- Any additional repairs (e.g., lock or ignition issues)

FAQs For Porsche Auto Locksmith Services
Can you make a Porsche key without the original?
Yes. We can create and programme a new Porsche key without the original using lock/ignition decoding and immobiliser procedures. We’ll need proof of ownership and ID before starting.
Will you damage my Porsche when unlocking it?
Our approach is non-destructive wherever possible. We use specialist picks and access tools designed for premium vehicles. If a rare exception applies (e.g., severe double-lock fault), we’ll explain the options and get your consent before any work.
How long does Porsche key programming take?
Many jobs are completed the same visit, often within one appointment. Timing depends on model/year, whether you have a working key, and whether EEPROM/ECU work is required. We’ll advise an estimated timeframe after initial diagnostics.
Can you programme Porsche proximity/smart keys for push-to-start models?
Yes, we handle smart key programming and synchronisation for modern Porsche models, including keyless entry and push-button start systems, subject to model coverage and security protocols.
My Porsche says “key not detected.” What should I try first?
Replace the fob battery and try holding the fob near the steering column or designated backup start point (varies by model). If it still won’t detect, the issue could be the fob, receiver, or immobiliser. We can diagnose and resolve on site.
Do I need to go to the Porsche dealer for a new key?
Not necessarily. Our mobile service often delivers faster turnaround and on-site convenience than a main dealer. We use dealer-level diagnostics and provide warranties. For many owners, this is the quickest and most cost-effective route.
