When You Need an MG Auto Locksmith

MG drivers call us for fast, professional help with:

• MG key snapped in the door or ignition; broken blade or worn key

If your immediate issue is being locked out, our car unlock service in South West London uses non-destructive entry wherever possible, protecting your paintwork and window seals.

How We Solve MG Key and Lock Problems

We bring the MG dealer-level capability to you, without the delays and costs of a main dealer.

• On-the-spot diagnostics: We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM/ECU reading to access your MG’s immobiliser data and add new keys securely.
• Non-destructive entry: Specialist lock picks and air wedges help us open most MGs without damage. In rare cases where drilling is needed due to a failed lock, we’ll explain options and costs clearly before work.
• MG car key cutting and programming: We cut laser and standard MG key blades precisely and carry a wide range of remote fobs and smart keys for rapid replacement. Programming covers transponder keys, remote fobs, and proximity/push-to-start systems.
• Key cloning and spare keys: If you have a working key, we can often clone and program a spare quickly—ideal preventative peace of mind.
• Fault finding and repair: We diagnose central locking faults, steering and ignition lock issues, and resolve remote synchronisation problems.
• Security after loss or theft: We can erase missing MG keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start the car, then program new keys and re-pair the remote functions.

Every visit is carried out by an insured, DBS-checked MG locksmith, and our new MG keys and programming are backed by a guarantee.

MG Auto Locksmith FAQs

Can you make a new MG key without the original?

Yes. For most MG models we can create a new key from scratch using OBD2 diagnostics and, where required, EEPROM/immobiliser programming. We also remove any lost/stolen keys from the system so they can’t start your car.

How long does MG key replacement take?

Many MG replacements are completed in one visit, typically within the same appointment window. Timing depends on model, key type (remote vs smart), and whether all keys are lost. We aim to get you moving efficiently without dealer delays.

Will you damage my MG when unlocking it?

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In the rare event of a failed or damaged lock that requires drilling, we’ll explain the situation and obtain your approval before proceeding.

My MG says “Key Not Detected”. Can you fix this?

Usually, yes. We check the key battery, re-synchronise the fob, and test the vehicle’s antenna/receiver. If the key is faulty, we can program a new MG key or proximity fob and ensure it starts the car and operates the central locking.

Do you offer a warranty on MG keys and programming?

Yes. All new MG keys and our programming work are backed by a clear warranty. We also provide guidance on caring for your new key to maximise reliability.

Is an auto locksmith faster than going to an MG dealer?

Often, yes. As a mobile MG locksmith in South West London, we come to you, cut and program keys on-site, and save the time of ordering and booking delays. For pricing advice and factors, see our page on auto locksmith prices South West London.
