Lost car key replacement

Lost your car keys and need them replaced today? Call 07777 676261 or message us on WhatsApp. We cut and program replacement keys at your location — usually within 30 minutes of arriving.

Losing your car keys is stressful, especially if it's your only set and you're stranded. Royale Car Keys is a fully mobile auto locksmith service: we come to you, cut and program a new key on the spot, and get you back on the road. No recovering your car to a dealer, no waiting days for an appointment. We cover Greater London, Kent, Essex, Surrey, and Sussex, 24 hours a day.

What We Can Replace

We replace keys for virtually every type of modern vehicle:

• Standard transponder keys — the chipped metal keys found on most cars from the late 1990s onwards.
• Remote key fobs — combined key-and-remote units with central locking buttons.
• Keyless smart keys — proximity fobs for push-to-start vehicles such as Range Rover, Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, and Toyota.
• All-keys-lost situations — where every key is gone and a new one has to be programmed from scratch.

We carry blanks and programming equipment for all major manufacturers, including Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Renault, Nissan, Toyota, Kia, and Hyundai.

How It Works

1. Call us. Tell us your make, model, year, and where you are. We give you a price before we set off — no surprises.
2. We come to you. A mobile technician arrives, usually within 30 minutes, with everything needed to cut and program your key on-site.
3. We make and program the key. Using dealer-grade diagnostic equipment, we cut a new key and pair it with your vehicle's immobiliser so it starts first time.
4. You're back on the road. Pay on completion by card, cash, or bank transfer. Your new key is covered by our 2-year warranty.

Lost Every Key? (All Keys Lost)

If every key to your car is gone, that's an "all keys lost" situation — and it's one of our specialities. Because there's no working key to copy, we generate a brand-new key directly from your vehicle's data. We'll just need your V5C logbook (or other proof of ownership) plus photo ID before we start, to confirm the car is yours. It takes a little longer than cutting a spare, but we handle the whole job at the roadside, with no towing.

How Much Does It Cost?

Car key replacement starts from £79, with the final price depending on your vehicle — a basic transponder key is simpler (and cheaper) than a keyless smart key for a new Range Rover. All-keys-lost jobs are quoted individually because they're more involved. Every quote includes the call-out and labour and is confirmed before we begin, so there are no hidden extras. See our full pricing page for more detail.
