Extra locks on working vehicles
Working vehicles often have more locks than a car: separate fuel caps, rear doors, canopies or toolboxes. Some are original and use the vehicle key, others are aftermarket fittings with their own keys.
Tell us about every lock you need the new key to work when you call, so we can confirm what's possible before the visit.
Commuters and the station
Morpeth station is on the East Coast Main Line, so plenty of drivers leave the car parked for the day. A key lost on the train or in the city may not be missed until you're back at the car.
Rural properties and working vehicles
Outside the town, many customers live on farms or in rural villages. Tell us how to find the vehicle, whether that's a yard, a lane or a field gate, and whether there's firm ground to work on.
Pick-ups, older 4x4s and other working vehicles often have well-worn keys that are worth replacing before they fail.
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.
