What the problem is

Losing all your car keys means no working key exists — no spare, no second key, nothing that starts the car. The car cannot be started or moved, and a replacement has to be made from nothing. This guide explains what to do, and what happens when the locksmith arrives. It does not show you how to make, cut or programme a key yourself.

What to do first

Three things, in order — what to do, never how to do the work yourself.

  1. Call Auto Locksmith Walsall on 07367 634032 and tell us where the car is and that no working key exists.
  2. Have your proof of ownership ready — the locksmith must be sure the car is yours before any work starts.
  3. If the key was stolen, report it to the police first, then call us — the lost key can be removed from the car so it can no longer start it.

Proof of ownership

You will need to show the car is yours before any work starts. We will explain exactly what you need to have ready when you ring 07367 634032 — no document list is published here, and no method is described. If you do not have proof with you, tell us on the call and we will explain what happens next.

What happens when the locksmith arrives

When the locksmith arrives, five things happen in order.

  1. The locksmith travels to the car, wherever it is.
  2. Proof of ownership is checked before any work starts.
  3. A replacement key is made at the car, without the original.
  4. The new key is matched to the car and tested.
  5. The tested key is handed over at the car.

What this guide does not do

This guide sets out what has happened and what happens when the locksmith arrives. It never teaches you to programme, cut, pick or open anything yourself — if you need a replacement key, call 07367 634032.
