Lost Car Keys
SheffLOCK Auto Locksmiths specialise in preventing both burglaries and vehicle theft. SheffLOCK Co-Owner Chris, an ex-detective constable, is very passionate about preventing crime and personally ensures the highest standards of service are received when it comes to stolen or lost vehicle keys. SheffLOCK can assist you in lost and stolen car key scenarios, even if it was your only key (for nearly every make and model currently available). In either case, don't panic; these things happen to everyone. We will sort this out for you and reduce the amount of stress you are experiencing as little as possible with a thorough, professional, and reliable service. If you've lost your car key, get in touch immediately, day or night, using any of our contact methods.
Remember, only some people who find a lost key on the street hand them in. Quite often, sadly, a lost car key situation can result in a stolen car if you don't act quickly enough. Unfortunately, some people are not nice in our society, and you must act soon to eradicate any potential security breaches. Our auto locksmiths can replace lost car/van keys for almost every vehicle on the road today, including cars, vans, trucks, and motorbikes. Even if you've lost your only car key, the SheffLOCK team can help you. SheffLOCK's work, from gaining entry to a locked vehicle, cutting the key blade/ all immobiliser and car remote programming, is carried out on-site in our SheffLOCK vehicles that have installed the very best equipment and software available on the market currently. You can have a replacement car key within an hour of making the phone call.
We always aim for same-day service and have a large team of engineers to ensure we can provide this for you. We stock over 95% of all car and van remote key fobs on the road today, so there's no delay in ordering parts like with the main dealers. It can take up to 2 weeks for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat to order keys from Germany. We have your key in stock today, saving you not only the inconvenience but also that you will find our prices are cheaper than the dealership.
Stolen Car Keys
If your car (or van) key has been stolen and the Criminal / Criminals know its location, then immediate action is required. If they've stolen your key, they will steal your car, given half a chance. We deal with stolen car and van keys almost daily, it saddens us to say.
A recent SheffLOCK customer experienced this as they were the unfortunate victim of a burglary where the vehicle and house keys were stolen. Still, they needed to be quicker to make the required changes. A short time later, whilst having a Mother's Day meal, the criminals followed them to a restaurant and stole the vehicle from the car park using the stolen keys. As you can imagine, this was a very upsetting experience and made even worse by the fact that the stolen vehicle also had the house keys inside, and the customer's dog had been left at home; therefore, they were locked out, and the poor dog locked in! The first thing we advise, if you have another key available, is to move the car somewhere to a secure location. If your only car key has been stolen, perhaps block it with another car. A Police accredited wheel clamp is advised and can be purchased from many local stores. The next thing to do is contact us immediately, day or night, by phone is best. You'll get a quote instantly. We will look into your vehicle and replace the stolen car key at your location as soon as possible.
With SheffLOCK's market-leading key programming software, we can delete the stolen car key from the vehicle's immobiliser system, rendering the stolen key useless. Our engineer will do this in front of you, for your peace of mind. We also provide a lock replacement service to guarantee criminals cannot gain entry to the car / van by using the key in the door lock. This should be carefully considered, especially if valuable items/tools are kept in your car or van. Your insurance company may even cover the cost of your stolen car key situation; we, of course, as a limited company, provide you with a clear electronic itemised receipt to forward to the insurance company. Even if they don't, they will expect you to have the stolen key deleted from the vehicle's memory and a lock change so the car can't be accessed through the door lock/locks. Failure to do so would invalidate any theft claim; unfortunately, we have seen this happen to customers over the years.
In most cases, we can reconfigure the locks already on your car rather than replace them with new locks, which means not only will you save a considerable amount of cash, but the work is carried out in one visit because no new parts are required. We've dealt with hundreds of insurance claims over the years. Free, friendly advice with all the options available to you in your situation will be explained to you by our dedicated SheffLOCK team. We provide simple, fixed, transparent pricing when we give quotes.
Keys Locked In Car
Have you ever found yourself in an unfortunate situation where you are locked out of your car, and your keys are inside? There's no need to panic if you are in South Yorkshire or the surrounding areas. Our SheffLOCK team of expert engineers can swiftly and efficiently help you out. We use non-destructive car lock opening techniques to ensure zero damage to your car, providing you with a quick and stress-free solution.

Keys can become locked inside a car for many reasons, from accidentally pressing the boot button while putting away your shopping to briefly putting the keys down and closing the boot. Many cars today also have an automatic self-locking feature that locks the car after a certain amount of time to prevent car theft while you're driving. However, most vehicles now also have "deadlocking," which means traditional methods of unlocking the car, such as using a coat hanger, won't work.
In these situations, the only way to get in is to pick the lock, a skill our highly trained engineers have mastered through years of experience and practice. While it may seem easy, our engineers have spent hundreds of hours honing their craft to ensure they can provide a non-destructive entry to your car.
SheffLOCK takes immense pride and satisfaction in resolving any issues related to vehicle locks. Whether your vehicle lock has been vandalized or attacked, please do not hesitate to contact our team.
We can replace it like-for-like in a timely, efficient, and professional manner. All the work carried out by SheffLOCK comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Keys Stuck In Ignition
Your car keys have become a tool box in your pocket. You use them to open packages so tape, glue, and other debris can build up on your keys and cause it to get stuck in the ignition. If you have to turn your key it can also make it difficult to start the car.
If your key won't turn at all, we carry replacement ignition parts, door locks, pins, and more for most vehicles on the road today. Our skilled engineers come equipped with both the necessary supplies and knowledge to ensure we complete the required work in one visit.
Car Lock Repairs
If your car or van key has been stolen, contact us immediately. We have a prompt and efficient response to such incidents, thanks to our co-owners, Chris and Kevin Hanson, who are former police officers.
While your insurance company may suggest a complete lock change, we offer a more cost-effective solution. We can re-key (or re-wafer) the existing locks for nearly all vehicles, providing you with a secure and affordable solution. Additionally, all lock replacement work we do will deactivate the stolen car fob's buttons.
