01 · Overview

What to have ready when you call

The make, model and year of the vehicle decide almost everything: which key blank fits, whether it needs a chip, and whether the remote can be programmed on the spot. Have the VIN handy if you can see it through the windscreen, along with your ID and registration or title. You will be asked for proof that the car is yours before a new key is made.

Spare keys cost less than lost keys

Cutting a copy from a working key is a short job. Making a key when every key is gone takes longer because the locksmith has to decode the lock or work from the vehicle's code and then program the chip. If you are down to one key, getting a spare now is the cheaper choice.

Some newer vehicles, especially certain push-to-start models, can only be programmed with dealer equipment. If that is the case the locksmith should tell you on the phone rather than after the drive.

04 · Tips

Lockouts around Belmont

Common spots for car lockouts include the Carlmont Village lots, the Belmont Caltrain station, the trailhead parking at Water Dog Lake and driveways on the steeper streets in the hills. Tell the dispatcher exactly where you are, including the level or row in a parking structure, so the locksmith can find you.

05 · FAQ

Questions about automotive work

Can you make a key if I have lost every key?

Often yes. The locksmith decodes the lock or uses the vehicle's key code, cuts a new key and programs it. Some models need dealer tools; you will be told on the phone if yours is one.

Will opening my car damage the door?

A trained locksmith uses tools designed to open cars without forcing the lock or bending the frame. Ask how they plan to open your model before they start.

Can you program a remote I bought online?

Sometimes. Many aftermarket remotes are the wrong frequency or already locked to another car. Share the part number when you call and ask before you buy.
