It's not an easy task to replace your car's key in particular if it's lost. To get a replacement you'll have to contact the local locksmith or dealership.

Key Cutting

When you lose your keys, it could be a huge hassle. Luckily, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services to assist you in getting back on the right track.

We offer regular and high security key duplication. For normal keys we use a key cutting machine that can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is clamped into a vise, then cut with a blade. The new key is then deburred - by rubbing it down with a wirebrush that is built into the machine, or manually on a bench grinder to remove burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.

When you're dealing with high-security keys you require a specific machine that can cut these types of keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also very accurate. Bring the original key when you receive the keys cut. Differences in shape could make the key useless.

Framon 2 manual machine is known as being the most reliable and stable machine in the business. Some people have told stories about them falling from their workstations and being in good shape. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponder, you'll need a key programmed to the system. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car, and if a different key is utilized, the computer on board will not recognise the serial number and therefore cannot allow the engine to start.

Normally when a car's key is lost the owner should go to their local car dealer to purchase a replacement and then have it programmed to the vehicle. It can take between two and five working days, and the original key will be required.

However you can reduce the cost by purchasing a key from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key, allowing you to start your vehicle with a brand new key. This will save you time and money because you won't have to stand around for the car dealer to come up with a replacement.

Citroen pre-2000 models can be converted into spare keys within two minutes. The manufacturer recently added a PIN the form of a plastic "security card" that is the size of an ordinary credit card that is kept in the wallet of the owner. It must be removed from the vehicle in order to program the new key. We can do this for you, and you'll save going to the dealer.

Door Lock Repair

When the lock or key are damaged, it can cause problems locking, unlocking and starting your vehicle. We can fix the ignition barrel or lock in your home at a fraction of the cost Citroen dealers charge. We can also create spare keys if the ones you have been stolen or lost.

Since all Citroens weren't equipped with transponder chips prior 1998, making keys is a simple procedure that can be accomplished on-site in just a few minutes. Since 1998, all models need an entry code that is stored on a plastic 'security card' about the size of a credit card and placed in the owners wallet. We can quickly access the code and program your replacement Citroen van key for you.

The key fob may be out-of-synchronisation with the car. We have the technology in our vans to re-synchronize your keys and get you back on the road in no time and save you up to 50% when compared with citroen c4 picasso key dealership fees.

Ignition Barrel Repair

Modern cars come with keys that go through a series of motions in order to start. If this is interrupted due to an unresponsive key or damage to the barrel of the ignition, your car will not start. It is difficult to remove a damaged or stuck key from the ignition. This task should be handled by an experienced professional. Using tools and lubrication, our technicians can safely remove your keys from the barrel of your ignition without causing any damage to your car.

Over time, the key and tumblers in the ignition cylinder could wear out and make it difficult, or even impossible to turn the car key. A heavy keychain could make the problem worse by putting extra pressure on the tumblers. We recommend that you have your Citroen keys and cylinders checked by our experts, before they are deemed unusable.

It can be time-consuming and expensive to replace your Citroen key with an outlet. The dealership will request the replacement key, which could take up to 5 days to arrive. When it arrives you will have to return with your V5 and ID documents in order to have the key programmed into your vehicle. At Northside Car Keys we can save you money by visiting your workplace or at home to complete the Citroen replacement key service for less than what the dealer would charge.
