Spare Car Keys Grays
Many vehicles bought around Grays, including through local dealers and private sales near the Lakeside area, come with a single working key. A spare cut and programmed at your home in RM16 or RM17 is far cheaper than the emergency all keys lost job that follows if that one key goes missing.
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 Grays
We are a mobile service with no shop or workshop, so the job happens wherever your vehicle is standing in Grays — on a driveway, in a car park, at work or at the roadside where it is safe to work. RM16, RM17 is inside our normal coverage.
Local details that come up on spare car keys calls here: the High Street, Clock Tower and Thameside Complex area; industrial estates and wharves running down to the Thames; Victorian terraces near the centre giving way to newer estates on the edges.
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.
