How We Fix Ford Key And Lock Problems
We combine experience, specialist Ford knowledge, and dealer-level equipment to resolve issues on the spot across South West London.
-
Non-destructive vehicle entry wherever possible
- Locked out of your Ford? We use professional tools and techniques to open doors without damage in almost all cases. On rare occasions where minor drilling is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock), we will explain options and costs clearly before proceeding.
-
Ford key cutting and replacement
- We cut laser and standard Ford key blades precisely from codes or locks. We can create a key from scratch even if you don’t have the original.
-
Ford key programming and diagnostics
- Using OBD2 diagnostics, we programme Ford transponder chips, remotes, and smart keys on-site. For certain immobiliser systems and advanced scenarios, we perform EEPROM/ECU work to match keys to the vehicle securely.
-
Smart and proximity key support
- For modern Fords with keyless entry/push-to-start, we handle smart key programming, proximity key replacement, and “key not detected” faults.
-
Remote fob repair and battery replacement
- We repair or replace worn buttons, cracked housings, and dead batteries. If a fob is beyond repair, we supply and programme a new one.
-
Ignition and lock repairs
- If your Ford key won’t turn, or the lock cylinder is worn, we offer car ignition repair and lock refurbishments or replacements, matched to your existing key where feasible.
-
Commercial and fleet support
- Ford Transit, Transit Custom, and Connect are fully supported. We help sole traders and fleets with spare keys, key programming, and urgent lockouts to keep your business moving. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith service.
Ford Immobiliser Systems Explained Simply
Modern Fords use immobiliser systems that check a tiny chip inside your key (the transponder) before allowing the engine to start. If the chip isn’t recognised, you may see a key symbol on the dashboard or a “key not detected” message, and the car won’t start. Our Ford key programming service pairs a new key or smart fob to your car’s immobiliser using secure procedures. For some models and situations (e.g., all keys lost), we may use EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming to restore proper function safely and reliably.
If your issue is fob-related, our key fob not working guide explains common causes and fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new Ford key without the original?
Yes. We can create a Ford key from scratch by decoding the lock or using secure key code data and then programme it to your immobiliser. This is common when keys are lost or stolen. Read more about lost or stolen car keys.
Will you damage my Ford when unlocking it?
We use professional, non-destructive entry techniques in almost all cases. If a lock is severely damaged or previously tampered with, we’ll discuss any rare exceptions and get your approval before proceeding.
How long does Ford key replacement and programming take?
Most Ford key replacements are completed in one visit, often within the same appointment. Times vary by model and whether it’s a standard transponder key or a smart/proximity system, and whether all keys are lost.
My Ford shows “key not detected” — is it the fob or the car?
It could be a flat fob battery, a failing fob, or an immobiliser/antenna issue. We diagnose with dealer-level tools and either repair the fob, programme a replacement, or address the vehicle-side fault.
Do you support Ford Transit and business fleets?
Absolutely. We handle Ford Transit, Transit Custom, and Connect keys, remotes, lockouts, and ignition issues—ideal for tradespeople and fleet managers needing fast turnaround. See our Van & Commercial Locksmith.
Can you fix central locking problems on my Ford?
Yes. We diagnose remote central locking faults, door module or actuator issues, and key/fob programming problems. If your fob has stopped working, our key fob not working page may help, or contact us for on-site diagnostics.
Next Steps
- Locked out, lost your only Ford key, or your fob won’t work? We’ll get you moving quickly.
- Want a spare Ford key? It’s often cheaper to do it now than after a loss—ask for a duplicate during the same visit.
