Thinking of buying a key online?
Keys sold online vary a lot. Some have the wrong chip or remote frequency for the vehicle, and some can't be programmed at all. A key that looks right isn't always compatible.
Send us the vehicle details and a photo or link to the key before you buy, and we'll tell you whether it's likely to work.
Homes with a car and a van
Plenty of Bedlington homes have a car on the drive and a work van outside. If either vehicle has only a single key, a spare is worth sorting before that key is lost.
Vans and trade vehicles
Tradespeople cover the whole of south-east Northumberland, and a van that won't start means a lost day's work. Tell us the make, model and year and whether you still have a working key, and we'll explain what's possible.
Bedlington and the villages nearby
As well as the town, we cover Bedlington Station, Choppington and the villages around them. If you're not sure we reach your village, give us a call.
We also offer vehicle entry and work with many popular vehicle makes. Before we produce a key or open a vehicle, we'll ask for proof of ownership.
Key types
Car keys we cut and programme
Transponder keys
A metal blade with a chip in the head that the immobiliser must recognise. Cut to your locks, then programmed to the car.
Remote keys
A transponder chip plus lock and unlock buttons. On many vehicles the remote and the starting chip are programmed separately.
Flip keys
A remote key with a folding blade. The spring, pivot and case wear with daily use and are worth dealing with before they fail.
Keyless & proximity keys
Detected by the car so you can unlock and start without the blade. Whether we can programme one depends on the make, model and year.
Before you call
Having these ready means we can tell you straight away what's possible in Bedlington:
- Your registration number
- Make, model and year
- How many working keys you have (even if it's none)
- Where the vehicle is parked
- Proof of ownership: usually the V5C logbook and photo ID with a matching name and address
