Why Choose a Mobile Auto Locksmith?

Faster Than The Dealership

Main dealers often require you to tow your vehicle to them and wait days for keys to arrive. Our mobile service comes directly to you in Ilkeston, Derby, or Nottingham - cutting and programming keys on-site, often within an hour.

Cost-Effective Solutions

By avoiding recovery trucks and dealership labour rates, we offer a more affordable solution for lost Ford keys. We carry a vast stock of remotes, transponders, and smart keys.

Specialist Diagnostic Equipment

Modern Ford security systems are complex. We use advanced diagnostic tools to safely extract PIN codes and program keys, ensuring your new key works exactly like the original.

Emergency Assistance

Locked out? Keys stolen? We prioritize emergency calls to get you back on the road safely. We can also delete stolen keys from your Ford memory for peace of mind.

Ford Key Types We Program

Remote Keys

Cut blade with remote buttons for lock/unlock and immobiliser start.

Smart Keys

Proximity keyless entry with push-button start systems.

Flip Keys

Folding blade keys with integrated remote control.

Emergency Keys

Valet or mechanical access blades coded where supported.

Common Ford Key and Immobiliser Issues

Key Not Turning in Ignition

Often caused by worn lock barrel or steering lock issues. We can diagnose and repair the problem on-site.

Remote Not Working

Central locking failure can be battery, micro-switch, or coding issues. We resync remotes and replace faulty components.

Key Not Found Message

Common on keyless systems when battery is weak or key has lost sync. We diagnose and resolve these faults.

Immobiliser Problems

If your Ford will not start due to immobiliser faults, we can reprogram or repair the system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make Ford keys without the original?

Yes. We extract the required data from the vehicle immobiliser unit or ECU, cut a new blade to code, and program a fresh transponder and remote.

Most spare keys are completed in 20-40 minutes. All-keys-lost scenarios typically take 45-75 minutes depending on the vehicle security complexity.

We are based in Ilkeston and cover a wide radius including Derby, Nottingham, Heanor, Ripley, Belper, Long Eaton, and surrounding villages across Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.

Can you delete stolen keys from my Ford?

Yes. On request, we invalidate missing keys from the system memory, improving vehicle security after loss or theft.
