How our mobile visit works:
- Assess and Secure: We verify ownership, assess the issue, and secure the vehicle.
- Diagnose: Dealer-level tools read immobiliser data via OBD2; we test transponders and remotes.
- Cut and Code: We cut a precise blade, then program the transponder and remote to your Ford’s immobiliser (PATS) and body control module.
- Test and Hand Over: We confirm remote locking, start authorization, and provide usage tips and warranty details.
For certain immobiliser faults or models, we may use EEPROM techniques or ECU/immobiliser programming. If any destructive method is the only sensible option (rare), we explain it clearly first and replace parts as agreed.

Ford Auto Locksmith FAQs
Can you program a Ford key without the original?
Yes. We can create and program a new Ford key from scratch by safely accessing the vehicle’s immobiliser via OBD2, and when necessary using EEPROM or ECU/immobiliser programming. Proof of ownership is required.
My Ford says “key not detected.” What should I do?
First, change the key battery and try again close to the start button or antenna area. If it still fails, the transponder or smart system may need re-syncing or a new key. We offer on-site Ford smart key programming to restore recognition.
How long does Ford key programming take?
Most Ford remote or transponder keys are cut and coded within a single visit. Straightforward jobs can be completed quickly; complex immobiliser or EEPROM cases take longer. We’ll explain timelines on your call.
Do you cover Ford Transit and Transit Custom vans?
Absolutely. We provide Ford Transit key replacement, transponder programming, and urgent van unlocking for trades and fleets in Maidenhead. Ask about our Van & Commercial Locksmith support.
Will you damage my Ford during unlocking?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. In rare edge cases (e.g., severe lock failure), we’ll explain options and costs before proceeding.
Can you fix Ford central locking problems?
Yes. We diagnose remote syncing issues, worn key buttons, receiver faults, and door lock malfunctions. We’ll advise whether key fob repair, reprogramming, or lock repair is needed.
Do you supply a warranty with new Ford keys?
Yes. All new keys and our workmanship are covered by warranty. We’ll confirm the terms during your quote and handover.
