A SIMPLE THREE-STEP PROCESS

How to Get a New Car Key Cut in London, Ontario

Whether you need a spare key or a replacement for a lost or damaged key, the first step is identifying the correct key for your vehicle.

Tell Us About Your Vehicle

Provide the year, make and model of your vehicle, along with the type of key you need. Let us know whether you still have a working key or need a replacement without the original.

Vehicle year, make and model

Compatibility and estimate

Have the Key Cut and Tested

The compatible key blade is cut for your vehicle and its operation is checked. If the key contains a transponder chip or remote, separate programming may be needed before it can start the vehicle.

Cutting, testing and programming check

Lost Your Car Keys in London, Ontario?

Losing your car keys can leave you unable to unlock or start your vehicle. If you cannot find a working spare, S.O.S. Locksmith may be able to cut and program a replacement key, even when the original key is unavailable.

The replacement process depends on your vehicle’s year, make, model and security system. Some vehicles use a traditional metal key, while others require a transponder key, remote-head key or smart key that must be programmed to communicate with the vehicle.

Call (226) 559-9341 and provide your vehicle information, location and whether you have any working keys. Proof of ownership and identification may be required before service.

Modern Car Key Cutting Methods

Modern vehicle keys require accurate cutting so the blade can operate smoothly without damaging the ignition or door lock. S.O.S. Locksmith uses specialized automotive key-cutting equipment to produce replacement and spare keys for many vehicle years, makes and models in London, Ontario.

The appropriate cutting method depends on the design of the original key. Some vehicles use traditional edge-cut keys, while many newer vehicles use high-security keys with grooves cut along the centre of the blade. After cutting, keys containing a transponder chip may also need to be programmed before they can start the vehicle.

Laser-Cut and High-Security Car Keys

Despite the name, most “laser-cut” car keys are not cut with an actual laser beam. They are produced using specialized milling equipment that creates precise grooves along the centre or sides of the key blade.

Laser-cut keys are generally thicker and more complex than traditional edge-cut keys. Many also contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to communicate with the vehicle’s immobilizer system.

Contact S.O.S. Locksmith with your vehicle’s year, make and model to confirm whether we can cut and program the key you need.

Cutting and Programming Modern Car Keys

Cutting the key blade is only one part of making many modern car keys. If the key contains a transponder chip, remote or proximity feature, it may also need to be programmed to the vehicle. The exact process depends on the vehicle’s year, make, model and security system.

Transponder Keys

A transponder key contains a small chip that communicates with the vehicle’s immobilizer. Even if the blade is cut correctly, the vehicle may not start until the chip has been programmed.

Key cutting shapes the metal blade so it fits the lock or ignition. Programming is a separate step that pairs the transponder chip with the vehicle. S.O.S. Locksmith can cut and program transponder keys for many vehicles in London, Ontario.

Smart Keys and Proximity Fobs

Smart keys allow compatible vehicles to recognize the driver’s key or fob when it is nearby. Depending on the vehicle, the driver may be able to unlock the doors or start the engine without inserting a traditional key.

Replacing a smart key normally involves programming a compatible fob to the vehicle. Some smart keys also contain an emergency metal blade that must be cut separately.

Call (226) 559-9341 with your vehicle’s year, make and model to confirm the type of key you need and whether cutting, programming or both are required.

Frequently Asked Questions

S.O.S. Locksmith provides car key cutting at our London storefront at 330 Ridout Street North, Unit 102B. Mobile automotive service may also be available if the vehicle cannot be brought to us. Call (226) 559-9341 before visiting so we can confirm that we support your vehicle and have the correct key available.

Yes. An automotive locksmith can cut many traditional, transponder, remote-head and high-security car keys. The required equipment and process depend on the vehicle and key design. If the key contains a transponder chip or remote, cutting the metal blade may not be enough. The key may also need to be programmed before it can start the vehicle.

In many cases, yes. An automotive locksmith may be able to make a replacement key even when every original has been lost. Whether this is possible depends on the vehicle’s year, make, model and security system. The new key may require both cutting and programming. Proof of ownership and identification may be required. Learn more about car-key replacement in London.

Bring your working key if you still have one, along with your vehicle’s year, make and model. A photo of the key or key fob may help us identify the correct replacement before your visit. Proof of ownership and government-issued identification may also be required, especially when no original key is available.

Automotive locksmith pricing depends on the service, vehicle, key type, programming requirements, location and whether a working key is available. A basic duplicate key usually requires less work than replacing and programming a smart key when all keys are lost. Ignition repairs and vehicle lockouts are priced differently. For an accurate estimate, call S.O.S. Locksmith at (226) 559-9341 with your vehicle details and the service you need.

The time required depends on the key and vehicle. Cutting a basic automotive key may be relatively quick, while a transponder key or smart key can take longer because programming and testing may also be required. Availability of the correct key or fob can also affect timing. Contact us before visiting for an estimate based on your vehicle.

Not every car key requires programming. Older vehicles may use a traditional metal key that only needs to be cut. Many newer vehicles use transponder chips, remotes or smart-key systems that must be programmed to the vehicle. We can confirm what your vehicle requires when you provide its year, make and model. Learn more about car-key programming.

We can duplicate many transponder and chip keys, depending on the vehicle. The blade must be cut accurately, and the chip may need to be programmed so the vehicle recognizes it. Having a working key can make duplication simpler in many cases. Contact us with your vehicle information to confirm compatibility. Learn more about getting a duplicate car key.

S.O.S. Locksmith can cut many laser-cut and high-security automotive keys using specialized key-cutting equipment. Despite the name, these keys are generally produced with precision milling equipment rather than an actual laser. Many high-security car keys also contain a transponder chip that requires separate programming before the vehicle will start.

Yes. If you have only one working car key, making a spare can help you avoid the higher cost and inconvenience of replacing every key after the original is lost. Depending on your vehicle, the spare may require cutting, programming or both. Call us with the vehicle details so we can confirm the available options.
