Rural roads and village life around Ifold can make car key emergencies particularly inconvenient. Whether you’re stranded at home, at a local business, or on a country lane, our technicians arrive fully equipped to resolve your issue on the spot.
Keys locked inside your vehicle
It’s easily done—loading shopping, dealing with children, or simply misplacing your keys while locking up. Our vehicle unlocking service uses non-destructive entry techniques to regain access without damaging your paintwork, locks, or windows.
Lost or stolen car keys
Losing your only key in a rural area like Ifold can feel especially stressful. We provide complete lost car key replacement, cutting and programming new keys from scratch at your location. If your keys have been stolen, we can also delete the missing key from your vehicle’s immobiliser system to protect against theft.
Broken or damaged keys
Cold mornings and worn key blades can lead to keys snapping in locks or ignitions. We offer broken car key extraction and on-the-spot replacement, including emergency repairs to get you moving again.
Key fob not working
Remote locking failures, unresponsive buttons, or complete fob failure are common as vehicles age. Our key fob programming service diagnoses the fault and restores full functionality, whether you need battery replacement, circuit board repair, or complete fob replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Ifold?
Our mobile units operate across the GU postcode area with efficient dispatch from Guildford. While we don’t promise specific arrival times, we prioritise emergency calls and keep you informed of our progress throughout.
Do you work on weekends and evenings?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency auto locksmith coverage including weekends, bank holidays, and late evenings—essential when rural garages and dealerships are closed.
Is it cheaper to use a locksmith or a main dealer?
For most car key issues, a mobile auto locksmith offers significant savings over main dealer prices, without the inconvenience of towing your vehicle or waiting for appointments. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you can compare.
Can you make a key if I have no spare at all?
Absolutely. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition, we can decode the information needed to cut a new key, then program it to your immobiliser system. This is a core part of our lost car key replacement service.
Will programming a new key affect my existing spare?
No. We program additional keys to work alongside your existing spare. If keys have been stolen, we can also remove the missing key from the system so it can no longer start your vehicle.
Do you handle commercial vehicles and vans?
Yes. Our van and commercial locksmith service covers popular models including Ford Transit, VW Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter, and Vauxhall Vivaro, with particular expertise in fleet security systems.
