AUTO LOCKSMITHS
Keeping up with advances in Key & Remote Programming
ยป THE WORLD OF CAR KEY and remote programming requires an ever-evolving skillset . With new vehicle models and ever more complex security systems being developed on a regular basis , auto locksmith tools need to be in a constant state of development .
At Hickleys we pride ourselves on the long term , close relationships we build up not only with our customers , but also with the suppliers and manufacturers of the tools that we sell . Our auto-locksmith division are constantly in two-way conversation with our two main key programmer suppliers .
At the end of February 2023 , Hickleys was happy to host a software developer from IEA , who manufacture the ZedFULL-Plus key programming unit . Hickleys was able to source a number of vehicles that were not previously covered for key programming and assist in reverse engineering some new vehicle systems .
This has already led to a number of free software updates being rolled out to new and existing owners of the ZedFULL-Plus , allowing a wider range of vehicles to be covered for auto locksmiths .
Hickleys does not only supply hardware to locksmiths up and down the UK , they also provide technical support directly to auto locksmiths , and are always keen to send feedback from these locksmiths back to the tool manufacturers . This unique position between the tool developers and locksmiths on the front-line means that Hickleys are able to provide an unparalleled level of service in the industry .
