When You Need a Honda Auto Locksmith
Honda vehicles are known for reliability, but key and lock issues can still happen—often at the worst moment. Common situations we help with include:
- Lost car keys: No spare available for your Civic, Jazz, HR-V, CR-V, or Accord
- Locked keys in the car or boot: Need a non-destructive car unlock service in a hurry
- Broken car key: Key blade snapped in the door or ignition; worn or bent blade
- Faulty car key fob: Buttons not responding, central locking not working, or “Key Not Detected” on push-to-start models
- Key stuck in ignition: Ignition won’t turn, steering lock won’t release, or a jammed barrel
- Spare key needed: Want a cost-effective duplicate and programming to avoid future emergencies
- After a battery change: Remote stopped working and needs resynchronising or programming
If any of these sound familiar, our mobile Honda locksmiths can help. For emergencies like locked keys in the car, see our Vehicle Unlocking service. For replacements and spares, visit Car Key Replacement.

Honda-Specific Notes And Tips
- Transponder security: Most Hondas from the early 2000s onward use immobiliser chips that must be programmed to your ECU. A cut key alone won’t start the car.
- Smart keys and push-to-start: Later Honda models (e.g., CR-V, HR-V, Civic) often use proximity keys. If the system says “Key Not Detected”, it could be a flat key battery, a faulty key, or an immobiliser sync issue—we can diagnose on-site.
- Aftermarket vs genuine: We use high-quality keys and remotes that meet Honda specifications. Where appropriate, we can supply genuine parts on request.
- Keep a spare: A spare key is both convenient and more affordable than an emergency replacement. We can supply and program a spare during the same visit for many models, saving time and money.
Frequently Asked Questions About Honda Keys
Can you make a new Honda key without the original?
Yes. Our mobile technicians can cut and program a new Honda key from scratch. We use your vehicle’s VIN and diagnostic access to program the immobiliser. This is often faster and more convenient than a dealer visit.
Will you damage my Honda when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible, with specialist tools designed for Honda locks and channels. On the rare occasion a destructive method is the only safe option, we explain the reasons and obtain your permission first.
How long does Honda key replacement take?
Many Honda keys can be cut and programmed the same day, often in a single visit. Timing depends on model, year, and key type (transponder vs smart). We’ll provide an accurate timeframe when you call.
My Honda says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try replacing the key battery. If that doesn’t help, the key may need reprogramming, or there could be an immobiliser antenna or module issue. We can diagnose this on-site and provide a fix—often via OBD2 programming or pairing a new smart key.
Can you program a used Honda key fob?
Sometimes, but many Honda immobiliser systems lock keys to the first vehicle they’re paired with. We’ll assess your model and advise whether a re-used fob is viable or if a new key is the reliable option.
Do you cover my part of South West London?
Yes. We cover all SW postcodes including areas like Battersea, Clapham, Fulham, Putney, Wandsworth, Wimbledon, Balham, Brixton, Tooting, Streatham, and Morden. Check our areas we cover across SW postcodes for more.
How much does Honda key programming cost in South West London?
Costs vary by model, year, and key type (basic, remote, or smart). We don’t publish fixed prices because each job is different. For transparent advice, see our auto locksmith prices in South West London and call for a free quote.
