Spare Car Keys Romford
Plenty of vehicles bought around Romford — through the dealers on the A12 corridor or privately — arrive with a single working key. A spare cut and programmed on your driveway in RM1, RM2, RM3 or RM7 removes the risk of an expensive all keys lost job the day the only key goes missing, and it costs a fraction of that emergency work.
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 Romford
We are a mobile service with no shop or workshop, so the job happens wherever your vehicle is standing in Romford — on a driveway, in a car park, at work or at the roadside where it is safe to work. RM1, RM2, RM3, RM7 is inside our normal coverage.

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 Romford customers
Do you cover all of Romford's postcodes?
Yes — RM1, RM2, RM3 and RM7, plus the surrounding Havering areas such as Hornchurch, Gidea Park and Collier Row.
I've lost my only key somewhere in the Brewery car park — what should I do?
Call or WhatsApp with the registration and where the car is parked. We will confirm whether we support your model before attending, and it becomes an all keys lost job if no key remains.
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.
Do you come to me?
Yes. We are a mobile service and carry cutting and programming equipment to the vehicle.
