Lost keys, stolen keys, or one spare left?
Lost your only key
Without a working key you cannot drive, and a main dealer often wants the car booked in — which may mean recovery first. We cut a new blade and get a working key programmed to the immobiliser on site for most vehicles. We make the key to your existing locks, so lock replacements are not usually necessary.
Keys stolen
We can delete stolen keys from the car immobiliser in most cases, so old keys no longer start the vehicle. We can also make two keys while on site so you leave with a spare. On the call we will advise what is practical for your make — we do not invent security procedures.
Still have a spare
That is often the easier visit. We can cut and program another spare so you are not stuck next time. See also spare keys.
Key snapped in the lock or ignition
We can often extract the broken blade and supply a new key on the same visit where the lock allows it.

Why Sittingbourne drivers call Keycraft Auto Locksmiths first
Most lost-key searches in Sittingbourne turn into a choice between waiting on a main dealer diary and calling a mobile auto locksmith. Dealers are not set up to race out with a programmed key. Keycraft Auto Locksmiths is. For most spare, lost and stolen key jobs our cost is often less than main dealer key replacement, and keys we supply carry a 12-month warranty.

Qualified, registered and insured
Keys and immobilisers are security work. Keycraft Auto Locksmiths is SERMI registered — SERMI is a scheme for security-related vehicle repair. Registration means authorised access to security-relevant vehicle parts and information needed for modern key and immobiliser work, and includes a DBS check. The work is led by Chris, who holds an NVQ Level 3 in vehicle maintenance and repair (IMI) and a Level 3 Diploma in vehicle maintenance and repair (IMI), and spent years as a main dealer mechanic before focusing on auto locksmithing — so programming and diagnostics sit on real workshop experience and IMI Level 3 qualifications, not a short introductory course.

Locked out with the keys inside?
If your keys are locked inside the car, you usually need an unlock — not a full key replacement. That path is what to do if you are locked out of your car and non-destructive entry.
If there is no key left (lost or stolen), stay on this page. You need a new key cut and programmed to the immobiliser.
Makes we replace keys for
Audi, BMW, Citroen, Fiat, Ford, Jaguar, Land Rover, Lexus, Mercedes, Nissan, Peugeot, Seat, Skoda, Toyota, Vauxhall, Volkswagen and many others. Always check with your registration — some newer or specialist systems may need specific kit and parts.
FAQ — lost car keys Sittingbourne
I’ve lost my only key — can you still get me a working key?
In most cases, yes — even when there is no original key left. We get a working key programmed to the immobiliser for many vehicles. Call or WhatsApp 07478 761573 with make, model and year.
Is an auto locksmith cheaper than the main dealer for a replacement key?
Often yes. Exact cost depends on the vehicle and the job — free quote by phone or WhatsApp. We quote for your car.
Do you come to me in Sittingbourne?
Yes. We are mobile. Home, work or roadside across Sittingbourne and the Kent towns we cover.
How long does a lost-key replacement take?
For most cars, about an hour if it is a system we can make from stock. Some vehicles take longer. We give a straight answer for your make when you call.
What if I am only locked out, keys still inside?
That is an unlock first — see non-destructive entry and what to do if you are locked out of your car. If there is no key left at all, stay on this lost-keys page.
