FAQs For Citroën Keys And Locks
Can you make a Citroën key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Citroën key from code or by reading immobiliser data via OBD2 or EEPROM. We then cut and program the key to your vehicle on site after verifying ownership.
My Citroën key fob is not responding. Do I need a new one?
Not always. It could be a dead battery, worn buttons, or a programming issue. We test the fob’s frequency and condition and can provide key fob repair, battery replacement, or reprogramming as needed.
Can you program a Citroën smart or proximity key?
Yes. We handle smart/proximity Citroën keys for push-to-start models and can perform smart key programming with our dealer-level equipment.
I’ve locked my keys in my Citroën. Will you damage the car?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible to unlock your Citroën without damage. If there’s a rare circumstance where damage is unavoidable, we will explain it first and get your approval.
How long does it take to get a new Citroën key?
Many replacements are completed the same day, subject to model and key type. We cut and program at your location, which is typically faster than a main dealer.
Do you cover Citroën vans for business and fleet?
Absolutely. We support Berlingo, Dispatch, and Relay vans, offering spare keys, emergency replacement, and fleet-friendly scheduling for minimal downtime. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith service for more information.
