WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

KEY CUTTING OR KEY PROGRAMMING?

Modern vehicle keys can contain both a mechanical component and an electronic security system. Understanding the difference helps ensure you get the exact service your vehicle requires.

KEY CUTTING

Creates the physical blade profile matching your vehicle's mechanical lock barrels. This is the traditional locksmithing aspect that allows the mechanical key to physically turn in the ignition switch or mechanical door cylinder.

Common mechanical cuts:

  • Replacement blade profile
  • Spare key blade duplication
  • Emergency key blade cutting
  • Worn or damaged blade replacement

KEY PROGRAMMING

Connects a compatible electronic security chip or remote transmitter to your vehicle's engine control unit (ECU) or immobiliser. Necessary to authorize start operations and keyless system usage.

Common electronic devices:

  • Transponder security keys
  • Remote control central locking keys
  • Proximity/smart keys
  • Push-to-start passive keyless fobs

Note: Some modern replacement keys require BOTH mechanical key cutting and digital system programming to fully function with your car.

KEY PROBLEMS

DAMAGED, WORN OR BROKEN KEY BLADE?

Over time, a vehicle key blade can become worn, bent or damaged, leading to ignition issues or complete lockouts. We provide ultra-precise automotive key diagnostics, restoration and professional key cutting in London to get you back on the road safely.

WORN OR DAMAGED BLADE

Where appropriate, a replacement blade can be cut and seamlessly integrated with your existing transponder and remote assembly, saving you the cost of a full key replacement.

BROKEN OR DAMAGED KEY FOB

If the key has suffered significant physical damage but the internal electronics remain functional, they may be transferred into a compatible replacement shell. If the electronics are also damaged, a complete replacement key may be required.

WATER-DAMAGED KEY FOB

Water damage can affect your key’s internal electronics and communication with the vehicle. We’ll assess the key and, if repair isn’t suitable, supply and programme a compatible replacement key.
