When You Need a Van & Commercial Locksmith
Commercial vehicles face unique pressures. If your van won’t open, won’t start, or you’ve lost the only key, every minute off the road costs money. Common scenarios we solve:
- Locked keys in a van or boot while on a job
- Lost or stolen van keys and immediate re-securing needed
- Broken or damaged keys, including snapped blades and worn remotes
- Key fob not responding or central locking problems on one or more doors
- Key stuck in ignition, ignition won’t turn, or intermittent starting
- New staff requiring additional spare keys for vans and fleets
- After a break-in: lock damage, door or ignition repair, and rekeying
- Upgrades to high-security van locks alongside OEM key systems
We work with single vans, sole traders, and multi-vehicle fleets across Guildford, Woking, Godalming, Farnham, Cranleigh, and all surrounding GU postcodes.

Non-Destructive Entry and Rare Exceptions
We always start with non-destructive entry techniques using professional picks, lishi tools, and decoding methods. Very rarely, severe lock damage, heavy aftermarket security, or prior tampering may require minimal drilling or component replacement. We will explain the reason, options, and costs before proceeding, and we replace or repair any affected parts to a high standard.
FAQs
Can you make a van key without the original?
Yes. In most cases we can create a new key without the original by decoding the lock or accessing secure key codes, then programming the transponder via OBD2 or EEPROM where needed. If the old key is lost or stolen, we can also remove it from the vehicle’s memory.
Do you cover after-hours emergencies for vans?
Yes. Our emergency support covers evenings, weekends, and holidays for urgent van lockouts and key issues. For immediate help, please Call 01483 930 095. For more information, see our Emergency Auto Locksmith in Guildford.
Will you damage my van when unlocking it?
Our aim is non-destructive entry in all cases. We use specialist tools and methods designed to protect your vehicle. If there’s a rare case where minor drilling or component replacement is unavoidable, we’ll explain it clearly and get your approval first.
Can you program smart keys and proximity keys for commercial vehicles?
In many models, yes. We carry dealer-level equipment to handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and immobiliser pairing for a wide range of vans. Some late-model vehicles may require specific procedures, which we’ll confirm during your call.
My van key fob isn’t working. Do I need a new key?
Not always. Sometimes it’s a dead car key battery or worn buttons. We can test and repair key fobs, replace worn shells, or supply a new fob if needed. See Key Fob Not Working for common symptoms and fixes.
How quickly can you get my van back on the road?
We dispatch efficiently across Guildford and the GU postcode area. Most jobs are resolved on-site in a single visit. While we avoid promising exact arrival times, our mobile coverage means you get a swift, practical solution without towing to a dealer.
