Spare Car Keys Chigwell
On premium keyless vehicles a spare key is worth considerably more than it costs, because producing one with no key present is a far bigger job — and on some models not possible at all.
A spare key is far cheaper and far less stressful than a lost key. Plenty of used cars are sold with only one key, and the day that key is lost or damaged the job becomes an all keys lost recovery instead of a simple duplicate.

Where we work in Chigwell
We are a mobile service with no shop or workshop, so the job happens wherever your vehicle is standing in Chigwell — on a driveway, in a car park, at work or at the roadside where it is safe to work. IG7 is inside our normal coverage.
Local details that come up on spare car keys calls here: large detached plots along the High Road and Manor Road; gated and in-and-out driveways; a high concentration of premium vehicles.
Why a spare is worth having
With a working key present, a spare is usually a shorter and simpler job than producing a key from scratch. It also means a single failed remote or a key dropped down a drain does not immobilise the vehicle.
Keys for work vans and shared vehicles
Vans and pool cars often need more than one key in circulation. We can supply and program additional keys so drivers are not passing a single key between them.
Proof of ownership
For vehicle security we may ask for proof of ownership or authority to access the vehicle — typically photo ID plus a V5C, insurance document or a hire/company letter — before locksmith work is carried out.
Spare Car Keys questions from Chigwell customers
Do you work on Range Rover and Mercedes keys in Chigwell?
On some models and years. Given the security involved we confirm against the registration before agreeing anything.
Can you attend a gated driveway?
Yes, we just need access arranged when we arrive.
Can you make spare car keys?
Yes, for many makes and models. Send your registration number so we can confirm the key type and availability for your vehicle.
Does the spare need to be programmed?
Almost always. Modern keys contain a transponder that has to be recognised by the immobiliser, and remote or proximity functions need programming too.

Yes. We are a mobile service and carry cutting and programming equipment to the vehicle.
