Non-destructive entry and diagnostics

Helpful Tips if You’re Locked Out in East Grinstead
- Stay safe and visible: If you’re roadside near the A22 or close to the station, move to a safe location while you wait.
- Don’t force the lock or pry a door: Modern vehicles have delicate mechanisms and anti-theft plates that are easily damaged.
- Have your details ready: Vehicle make/model, registration, and your location (e.g., RH19 car park or nearby landmark) help us dispatch the right tools quickly.
- Consider a spare key: Getting a spare now is usually cheaper than an all-keys-lost scenario later.
FAQs for East Grinstead Drivers
Can you unlock my car without damaging it?
Yes. We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible, protecting your locks and weather seals. Only in rare cases—such as severely damaged locks—might minimal drilling be required, and we’ll explain this beforehand.
Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create keys from scratch using specialist decoding tools and immobiliser programming. For details on replacements, see car key replacement.
Do you work with smart/proximity keys and push-to-start systems?
Absolutely. We handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and push-to-start keys using dealer-level diagnostics, OBD2, and model-specific procedures.

Many jobs are completed in a single visit. Time varies by make, model, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give you an accurate timeframe during your call.
My key fob stopped working—what should I try first?
If safe, replace the fob battery. If it still won’t respond or shows key not detected, we can test and reprogram the fob, check transponder/immobiliser sync, or supply a replacement. See key fob not working.
