Van keys and replaced locks
Many vans have separate locks for the cab, side door and rear doors, and a new key needs to work all of them. If any lock has been replaced after a break-in or damage, it may no longer match the original key.
Tell us about replaced or extra locks when you call, so we can bring the right blanks and plan the job.
Vans and work vehicles
Wallsend has a long industrial and trade history, and for many people here a van is how they earn a living. A broken or lost van key can mean a lost day's work.
We can help with keys for many common vans as well as cars — at home, at the yard or on site. For company vehicles we'll need authorisation from the business that owns the van.
Easy to reach
Wallsend is close to the A19 and the Coast Road, which makes it a straightforward area for our mobile service to reach — whether the vehicle is at home, at work or on a job.
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 Wallsend:
- 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
Wallsend car key questions
My van has had a lock replaced. Does that matter?
It can. A replaced lock may take a different key from the rest of the van. Let us know before the visit so we can plan for it.
Can you programme keys for company vans?
Often, yes. We'll need authorisation from the business that owns the vehicle and the van's details so we can confirm the key system is supported.
Can you work at a business park or yard?
Yes, with the site's permission and safe access to the vehicle.
