Our Auto Locksmith Services in Chilworth
Vehicle Unlocking
Locked out in Chilworth? We use non-destructive entry techniques to open your vehicle without damaging locks, windows, or paintwork. Our methods work on modern central locking systems and older vehicles alike. In rare cases where damage cannot be avoided—such as with certain high-security locks—we will always explain this clearly and obtain your approval before proceeding.
Car Key Replacement
Lost your only key in Chilworth? We can create a new key from scratch, even without the original. This includes cutting the physical key blade and programming the transponder chip to communicate with your vehicle’s immobiliser system. We also handle stolen car key replacement, which involves deleting the missing key from your vehicle’s memory to prevent unauthorised access.
Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles require sophisticated programming for new keys to function. Our Chilworth service covers:
- Transponder key programming – Matching the chip in your key to your vehicle’s ECU
- Smart key and proximity key programming – For keyless entry and push-button start systems
- Remote fob programming – Restoring central locking functionality
- EEPROM programming – For vehicles requiring advanced onboard computer work
We use OBD2 diagnostics and specialised programming tools compatible with all major manufacturers.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a spare key for peace of mind? We cut and duplicate keys for all vehicle types while you wait. Having a spare key stored safely at your Chilworth home can save you significant cost and inconvenience if your primary key is ever lost or damaged.
Van & Commercial Locksmith
Chilworth’s businesses and self-employed tradespeople rely on their vehicles. We provide priority service for commercial vans and light commercial vehicles, including Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, and Mercedes Sprinter models. Fleet accounts are welcome.

Can you make a car key without the original?
Yes. We can create new keys from your vehicle’s lock or ignition data even when no original key exists. This is one of our most common requests in Chilworth.
Will programming a new key affect my other keys?
When we program a new key, we can typically retain your existing spare keys in the vehicle’s memory. If your keys have been stolen, we can delete the missing key to prevent unauthorised use.
Do you work on weekends and evenings?
