Can a Locksmith Make a Car Key from scratch?
If you’ve lost your only car key, don’t worry. A qualified and experienced Australian locksmith (That’s us!) can make you a replacement key even without the original.
How locksmiths make car keys without the original
With the right equipment and qualifications, an experienced locksmith can:
-
Retrieve your car’s key code – Every vehicle has a unique code that matches the locks and ignition. Using this code, a new key can be cut accurately.
-
Program transponder keys – Cars built after 1995 usually need a programmed chip. A locksmith can program a new transponder key so your car starts.
-
Replace smart keys and remotes – For push-button and proximity keys, locksmiths can supply and program replacements on the spot.
Why choose a locksmith over a dealership?
Going through a dealership often means:
-
Waiting days for a new key to arrive
-
Paying extra to tow your car to the dealership
-
Higher costs for the key and programming
By comparison, Shoreline Locksmiths on the Gold Coast can usually:
-
Come to you the same day
-
Cut and program your key on-site
-
Save you time and money
What you’ll need
For security reasons, locksmiths will ask for proof of ownership before cutting a new key. This may include:
-
Your driver’s licence
-
Registration papers showing the vehicle is yours
