Toyota Car Key Replacement and Programming Expertise
We offer a complete, mobile Toyota locksmith service that is often faster and more convenient than the main dealer, with on-site solutions that save you a tow or long waits.
Toyota Key Types We Handle
- Transponder keys (chip keys) for older Toyota models
- Remote keys with buttons for lock/unlock and boot release
- Smart/proximity keys for push button start vehicles
- Flip keys and laser cut high-security keys
- Key cards or specialist fobs for select models
A transponder is a small chip in your key that talks to your car’s immobiliser. If it’s not recognised, the engine won’t start. We perform secure Toyota transponder key programming and immobiliser pairing so your new key works exactly like the original.
How Our Toyota Locksmith Process Works
- Assessment and access
- We confirm your Toyota model, year, and key type. If you’re locked out, we use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible—no bent doors or damaged seals.
- Cutting and coding
- Keys are cut on-site from code or lock, including laser cut profiles. We use OBD2 diagnostics to pair new keys/fobs, and for certain immobiliser systems we can carry out EEPROM-level programming when required.
- Testing and handover
- We test remote lock/unlock, emergency blade operation, and starting on both cold and warm cycles. You leave with a working Toyota key and clear aftercare guidance.
Tools and training
- Dealer-level diagnostics for Toyota/Lexus systems
- OBD2, EEPROM and ECU/immobiliser programming capability
- Secure procedures that protect your vehicle’s anti-theft features
- Genuine or high-quality aftermarket components with warranty
Non-Destructive Entry, With Rare Exceptions
Our first approach is always non-destructive entry techniques. In rare cases—such as severely damaged locks or certain high-security scenarios—minimal drilling or component removal may be necessary. We explain options and costs clearly before any work proceeds.

Security, Spares, and Preventative Advice
- Spare keys: Having a spare Toyota key saves time, money, and stress if one goes missing. We can clone and program a second key at the same visit.
- After a loss or theft: We can delete missing keys from the immobiliser so they no longer start your car, and re-secure the locks if needed.
- Battery and fob care: Replace the fob battery at the first sign of short range or intermittent unlocking. Keep the emergency blade accessible in case the fob battery dies.
- Push-to-start tips: If your Toyota shows “Key Not Detected,” try holding the fob close to the start button. If it starts, the fob battery likely needs replacing; we can supply and code a new fob if required.

FAQs About Toyota Keys And Locks
Can you make a Toyota key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Toyota key without the original by decoding the lock or using key code data, then program it to your immobiliser so the car starts and the remote works. This is a secure, ID-verified process to protect your vehicle.
Can you program Toyota smart/proximity keys?
We program Toyota smart keys for push-to-start vehicles across most models and years, including 2024/2025. We use OBD2 diagnostics and, where needed, EEPROM/immobiliser programming to complete the pairing.
My Toyota says “Key Not Detected”. What should I do?
First, try starting with the fob held against the start button; if it works, the fob battery is weak. If it still fails, the fob, antenna, or immobiliser sync may be at fault. We can diagnose and resolve this roadside.
How long does Toyota key replacement take?
Most on-site Toyota key replacements are completed in one visit. Cutting and programming typically take from 30 to 90 minutes depending on model, key type, and immobiliser complexity.
Will you damage my Toyota when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible. In rare cases involving damaged locks or specific security configurations, minor invasive work may be required—always explained and agreed before we proceed.
