Down to one key?

Get a spare before the last key goes missing.

A spare key is one of the cheapest jobs we do — and far cheaper than replacing every key once the last one is lost. While you still have a working key, we can copy and programme a new one in a single visit.

We come to the car, cut the new key to match your locks, programme it so the car starts, and set up the remote buttons. Standard, flip, keyless and push-to-start keys for all the main makes.

Send an enquiry or ring us with the make and model and we'll come back to you with a quote for your car.

From our customers

What people say.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Locked out at 11pm on a Sunday with two kids in the car. Lock Doctor were there in 28 minutes and had me back in the house in under five.

Eilis MurphyLimerick · Home Lockout
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Lost the only key for our 2019 BMW. Dealer wanted six hundred and a ten-day wait. Lock Doctor cut and programmed a replacement on the driveway, same day, for less than half that.

We use Lock Doctor for every property change-over. Always punctual, always professional, a quote on the call. The team know what they're doing.

Your questions

Questions, answered.

Can you make a new car key if I've lost them all?

Yes, for almost every car on Irish roads. We cut a new key to fit your locks, programme it so the car starts, and remove the lost key from the car's memory so it can't be used by whoever finds it. It's done at the car, so there's no tow to a dealer.

Is it cheaper than going to the main dealer?

Usually, yes — and it's faster. A dealer typically needs the car brought in and may order the key from abroad, which can take a week or more. We carry key blanks and programming equipment in the van and do the job on the spot.

Do you do keyless and push-to-start keys?

Yes. We supply and programme keyless and push-to-start (smart) keys as well as standard, flip and older bladed keys, for all the main makes sold in Ireland — Ford, VW, Toyota, Nissan, Skoda, Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Audi, Mercedes and more.

What do I need to have with me?

Proof that the car is yours — the logbook (vehicle registration certificate) or insurance documents with photo ID. We check this on every job so a key is never made for the wrong person.

Are you available at night and at weekends?

Yes. Lock Doctor answers 24 hours a day. Ring the number on this page and we'll tell you when a technician can be with you and what it will cost before anyone sets off.
