AUTO LOCKSMITHS
THE FOUR MOST COMMON REASONS AUTO LOCKSMITHS ARE REQUIRED
With access to complex electronic programming equipment , auto locksmiths can solve a variety of car key fob problems . Modern vehicles rely on coded keys or fobs that communicate with the car engine or immobiliser to prevent theft , and therefore require more detailed technical knowledge than a traditional locksmith would usually possess .
INTRODUCING THE NEW AUTEL KM100
The MaxiIM KM100 is an advanced touchscreen tablet capable of smart key creation and immobiliser learning via OBD .

Additional innovative features include key renewal and transponder editing of 20 supported protocols .
Car Key Cutting and Reprogramming
Damaged car keys are not uncommon , but to cut new blades is not as simple as popping down to the nearest key cutting shop . Modern car keys are programmed specifically with a unique user code so that a blank copy cannot be used to start the vehicle , thereby decreasing the risk of theft . Newly cut keys always need to be programmed , which can only be delivered by specialist manufacturer-accredited auto locksmiths or garages who offer auto locksmith services .
Door Lock Replacement
While the rising popularity of keyless cars has seen the decreasing need for car door locks , many older cars are still on the road . Over time , wear and tear can result in broken locks , while crude attempts by thieves to gain entry can also result in irreparable damage to lock barrels . Auto locksmiths can replace worn or damaged locks , giving owners of older cars easy access to their vehicles whenever they need .
Solving a Lockout
Being locked out of a car is a big inconvenience , whether at home , work , or elsewhere . Lost keys , or those that are locked inside the vehicle , strand the car owner on the spot and throw their plans into disarray . An auto locksmith possesses the knowledge and tools to gain entry to the vehicle quickly and can also provide new keys if required .
Car Key Fob Battery Replacement
The tiny batteries in car key fobs will , eventually , run out of energy , at which point it will become difficult - or impossible - to unlock the car . Even if entry is possible , the car may fail to recognise the presence of the fob if the signal is weak and may refuse to start . Replacing the batteries is essential , but many key fobs require reprogramming at the same time . An auto locksmith can ensure the keys or fob are coded correctly , whereas a straight replacement of the batteries could render the keys useless .
