Replacement & Spare Car Keys
Lost or broken car key? Need an extra spare key for peace of mind? Replacement car keys are one of our core specialties. We can cut and program new keys for your vehicle on the spot, even if you have lost all existing keys. Our experts handle spare key duplication as well, ensuring you always have a backup key available. For cases of lost or stolen keys, we can safely delete the old key from your car’s system so it can no longer be used, keeping your vehicle secure. All replacement keys are tested to work seamlessly with your ignition and door locks, so you can trust that your new key will function just like the original.
Car Key Programming & Transponders
Modern car keys often contain electronic chips that need programming to sync with your car’s security system. We provide specialist transponder key programming and remote fob programming for most vehicle makes and models. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can program new keys or reprogram your existing keys so that they communicate properly with your car’s immobiliser. If your car has a push-button start or keyless entry system, we handle smart key programming as well. Our on-site programming service is fast and reliable – no need to wait weeks for a dealership appointment. We’ll have your new key or fob electronically paired to your vehicle in no time, ensuring it starts the engine and operates the remote central locking without issue.
Key Fob Repairs & Key Cutting
If your remote key fob isn’t working or your key blade is damaged, our team can repair or replace it. Paul’s Auto Locks offers car key repair services that can fix common issues like unresponsive buttons, cracked key casings, or dead key fob batteries. We can refurbish broken key fobs by replacing their shells, buttons, and batteries, or transfer the internal transponder chip to a new casing if needed. Our locksmith is also equipped to perform precise car key cutting for all types of keys. From traditional metal keys to high-security laser-cut keys, we cut new keys accurately to fit your locks and ignition. If your key has snapped off in the door or ignition, we can extract the broken piece and provide a new key on the spot. With our repair and cutting services, you’ll save the cost of a full replacement when a simple fix is all that’s required.

Types of Car Keys Covered
Today’s vehicles use several different types of keys and entry systems. Paul’s Auto Locks is able to service all types of car keys, including:
- Standard Mechanical Keys: Traditional keys that physically unlock doors and start the ignition. These are common in older vehicles and use a simple cut metal blade.
- Transponder Keys: Keys with an electronic chip inside that must be programmed to your car. Since the late 1990s, most cars use transponder keys for added security – the car won’t start without the correctly coded key. We can program new transponder keys or reprogram existing ones if necessary.
- Remote Key Fobs: Modern keys that come with buttons to remotely lock/unlock the doors (and sometimes open the boot). These usually have an integrated key blade plus a transponder chip. We repair and replace remote fobs, syncing them to your vehicle’s receiver so that the remote functions work flawlessly.
- Smart Keys (Keyless Entry Fobs): Proximity keys that allow for keyless entry and push-button start in many newer cars. You can keep the fob in your pocket and still unlock and start the vehicle. We provide and program smart keys for vehicles equipped with these advanced key systems, ensuring they communicate securely with your car.
No matter what type of key your vehicle uses, we know how to cut it, program it, or fix it. We stay up-to-date with the latest automotive key technology to service everything from basic keys to the newest smart fobs.
