All Car Keys Lost at Stansted Airport?
When there is no functioning key available, the job is different from adding a spare. We need to assess how your vehicle can be accessed and whether a new key can be produced and programmed without the original.
24/7 mobile coverage from Harlow. Vehicle compatibility, availability and attendance must be confirmed.
Why an all-keys-lost job needs a separate assessment
Adding a spare starts with an existing working key. An all-keys-lost situation has no functioning key to use as that starting point, so access, cutting and the security-system process may differ.
Tell us if any key exists, even if it is damaged, overseas or no longer starts the vehicle. Explain whether the vehicle is locked and whether it uses a conventional ignition, transponder or keyless system if known.
Producing a key without the original
A new key can sometimes be produced without the original, depending on the make, model, year and available security-system support. We assess these details before agreeing to attendance.
Where supported, the work may involve vehicle entry, key cutting and programming to the immobiliser. A physical key blade alone is not a promise that the engine will start. Some vehicles require a different specialist or manufacturer process.
Security and ownership checks
We must confirm that you are authorised to access the vehicle. Have photo identification and relevant vehicle documents available, and tell us if those documents are inside the locked car or held by a hire company.
Where the vehicle supports it, we can discuss whether missing keys can be removed from the electronic key memory. This cannot be guaranteed for every system and does not necessarily stop an old mechanical blade opening a lock. Ask what is possible for your specific vehicle.
Information and timing
Send the registration, make, model, year, key type and details of any remaining keys. Include the parking operator, car park, zone and bay so access can be assessed alongside the key work.
Security-system requirements, parts, programming support and vehicle access affect the process and completion time. Our Harlow-based mobile coverage is available 24/7, but compatibility, attendance and availability are confirmed before a job is accepted.

All car keys lost: FAQs
Do I need an original key for a replacement?
Not always. Replacement without an original is possible for some vehicles, but support must be checked using the make, model, year and security system.
Can every missing key be disabled?
No. Electronic key deletion depends on the vehicle and system. It may not prevent a missing mechanical key from operating a lock.
Is this the same as making a spare?
No. With no working key available, access and programming requirements may be different. Tell us exactly what keys remain so we can assess the job.
