FAQs for Sands Drivers
How do I get a new car key without the original in Sands?
We can make a key without the original by decoding your locks and programming a new transponder or smart key to your immobiliser. Have your ID and proof of ownership ready, and we’ll provide a free quote and come to your Sands location.
Can a locksmith make and program a key fob, or do I need the dealer?
In most cases, yes—we can supply and program remote fobs and proximity keys with dealer-level equipment. It’s often faster and more convenient than the dealer. Read more about our car key programming.
What should I do if my key is broken in the ignition?
Stop trying to turn it, as it can damage the barrel further. We provide safe broken key extraction and ignition repair. See our guide to car lock and ignition issues.
My car says “key not detected” in Sands—what now?
First, replace the key battery if applicable. If the issue persists, the key’s transponder or vehicle antenna/immobiliser may need attention. We can diagnose on-site in Sands and reprogram or replace components as needed.
How long does it take to get a new car key in HP12?
Many replacements are completed the same day, often during a single mobile visit. Time varies by make/model, key type (remote/smart), and whether EEPROM or immobiliser work is required.
Will you damage my vehicle when unlocking it?
We prioritise non-destructive entry methods. In rare cases where drilling or component replacement is unavoidable, we’ll explain the reasons and agree the approach with you before starting.
