Truck
Keys

Most DAF lorry keys are a chunky black plastic key with a metal blade. On many DAF trucks that blade folds out from the head of the key at the press of a button, like a flick knife. Newer DAFs also have small buttons on the key to lock and unlock the doors from a few steps away. Inside the head of the key there is a tiny chip the truck has to recognise before it will start the engine, so even a perfectly cut copy won't work on its own until that chip has been matched to your truck.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start or open
• Need a spare so the truck isn't off the road if a key goes missing
• Key worn down or bent and now it won't turn properly in the ignition
• Key snapped in the lock or in the door
• Locked out of the cab

What we do

We come to your truck, whether it's at the roadside, in a yard or at a depot, and cut a brand new DAF key on site. We then match the chip inside it to your truck so the engine will start, and we can wipe a lost or stolen key from the truck's memory so it can't be used again. We also cut and supply spare keys so you're never left with just one, sort flat fob batteries and worn or snapped keys, and get you back on the road the same day in most cases.

A Scania truck key is usually a black plastic remote fob with the metal key blade folded inside, so it flips out at the press of a button like a flick-knife. The fob has buttons on it for locking and unlocking the cab, and the unfolding blade is what you put in the ignition or door lock. Inside the fob there is a tiny coin-sized battery that powers the buttons, and most keys also have a small hidden chip sealed inside the head that the truck has to recognise before it will start.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck is stuck in the yard or at the roadside
• Need a spare so the truck is never off the road if a key goes missing
• The key is worn or bent from years of use and is getting harder to turn
• Key won't turn in the ignition or the door lock
• The buttons have stopped working or the fob battery is flat

What we do

We come to you, whether the truck is in a depot, a yard or broken down at the roadside, and sort the key on the spot. We can cut a new Scania key and set it up so the truck recognises it and starts, supply spare keys so you always have a backup, replace a worn or snapped key, and fix or replace a fob with dead buttons or a flat battery. Most jobs are done in one visit so the truck gets back to work the same day.

Most Volvo trucks use a chunky plastic key with the Volvo badge on it and small rubber buttons for locking and unlocking the doors. Many of them are flip keys, where the metal blade folds out of the body at the press of a button. You use it the normal way: press the button to lock or unlock, then put the key in the ignition and turn to start. Inside the plastic head there is a tiny chip the truck has to recognise before it will start, so a plain copied key cut at a market stall will open the door but the engine still won't fire.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck is stuck in the yard or at the roadside
• Need a spare so a second driver isn't left waiting
• The key is worn or bent and no longer turns smoothly in the lock
• The key turns but the engine won't start because the truck isn't recognising the chip
• The remote buttons have stopped locking or unlocking the doors, usually a flat battery in the key

What we do

We come to wherever the truck is, whether that's a depot, a yard, a building site or the side of the road, and sort the key on the spot. We cut a fresh key to fit the locks and program it to your truck so the engine will actually start, even if every key has been lost. We also supply spare keys so you're never down to your last one, fix worn keys that won't turn, and replace dead key batteries. As a single PSA-licensed company working since 2007 with over 300,000 satisfied customers behind us, we get you moving again quickly rather than leaving the truck off the road waiting for a main dealer.

Most MAN lorries on Irish roads use a chunky black key that folds out a metal blade, with two or three buttons on the body for locking and unlocking the cab. You press the button to lock or unlock the doors from a few steps away, then slide the same key into the ignition to start the truck. There is a small chip hidden inside the key, and the lorry will only start once it recognises that chip, so a key that hasn't been set up for that particular truck won't get it running.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start or unlock
• Need a spare key so the lorry isn't off the road if one goes missing
• The key is worn or bent and is getting harder to turn in the ignition
• The key turns but the truck won't start because it no longer recognises the chip
• The buttons on the fob have stopped locking or unlocking the doors (often just a flat battery)

What we do

We come to you, whether the lorry is parked at home, in a yard or stuck at a depot, and cut and set up a working replacement MAN key on the spot, including the hidden chip the truck needs to start. We can supply a spare key so you're never stuck with just one, sort fobs that have stopped locking the cab, and get you moving again even when the only key has been lost. We work on all the common ranges seen here, from the TGL and TGM up to the TGS and TGX flagship.

Most Mercedes-Benz lorries on Irish roads use a black plastic key fob with lock and unlock buttons on it. You press a button to lock or unlock the cab from a few metres away, then put the key into the ignition (or, on the newest trucks, keep it in your pocket) to start the engine. The fob also has a small metal blade that flips or slides out, so you can still open the driver's door by hand if the battery in the fob goes flat.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start
• Need a spare key so the cab isn't off the road if one goes missing
• The key is worn or bent and no longer turns smoothly in the lock
• The fob's lock and unlock buttons have stopped working or the battery has died
• A key snapped in the ignition or the door lock

What we do

We come to your yard, depot or the roadside and sort it out on the spot. We can cut and program a brand-new key for your Mercedes truck, supply an extra spare so you always have a backup, and replace worn or broken keys. If every key has been lost, we can still make a fresh one that starts the truck, and we tidy up the old keys so a missing one can no longer be used. No need to tow the lorry to a dealer.

Most Iveco keys are a black plastic fob with the metal blade folded inside, so it flips out at the push of a button, plus lock and unlock buttons on the body. You use it like any normal key: press the button to lock or unlock the doors, then put the blade in the ignition and turn to start. Newer Iveco keys have a tiny chip sealed inside that the truck must recognise before it will start, even though nothing about that is visible from the outside.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck is stuck where it sits
• Want a spare so a driver is never stranded if a key goes missing
• Key worn down from years of use and starting to stick or fail
• Key won't turn in the ignition or the lock
• Remote buttons have stopped locking or unlocking the doors

What we do

We come to the yard, depot or roadside and cut a new Iveco key on the spot, then program it to your truck so it starts and works the locks. We can supply a spare so you always have a backup, replace worn or broken keys, sort flat fob batteries, and on lost-key jobs we get you moving again without a tow to a dealer. We carry the right blanks and gear for the Daily, Eurocargo, S-Way and the older Stralis and Trakker, so most jobs are done in one visit.

Most Renault Trucks use a chunky plastic-topped key with a metal blade that folds or slides out, plus buttons on the head to lock and unlock the cab from a distance. Hidden inside the plastic top is a tiny chip the truck has to recognise before it will start - so even if the blade fits the lock, the engine stays off unless the matching key is present. You unlock the doors with the buttons, slot the key into the ignition (or its holder), and turn to start. Some trucks also come with a separate small remote on the keyring for the central locking.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck is stranded in a yard or at the roadside
• Down to one key and need a spare cut before it goes missing
• The key blade is worn or bent and no longer turns smoothly in the ignition
• The lock or ignition has seized and the key won't turn
• The lock/unlock buttons have stopped working or the fob feels dead

What we do

We come to the truck - depot, yard or roadside - and sort it on the spot. We can cut a fresh key, match its hidden chip to your exact Renault Trucks vehicle so the engine starts, and pair the lock/unlock buttons. Lost every key? In most cases we can still make a working one from scratch without a trip to the main dealer. We also cut handy spares so a missing key never takes a truck off the road, replace worn or snapped keys, and free up seized locks and ignitions.

Most Ford Rangers on Irish roads use a black plastic remote with the Ford badge and buttons to lock and unlock the truck. On older models you press a button on the side and a metal blade flips out to turn the door and ignition. The newest Rangers (from 2023) come with a smart key you can keep in your pocket: the truck senses it nearby, so you unlock by touching the door handle and start it with a push button. Whatever the age, every Ranger key has a small chip hidden inside that the truck must recognise before it will start.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start
• Want a spare cut and coded before the original goes missing
• The single original key is worn out and getting unreliable
• Key won't turn in the door or ignition
• Buttons on the fob have stopped working or the fob battery is dead

What we do

Lock Doctor comes to you, whether the Ranger is at home, in a yard or stuck on site, and cuts and codes a replacement key on the spot so the truck starts and locks again. We can supply a working spare so you are never left with just one key, sort out a fob with worn buttons or a flat battery, and where the only key is lost we can set up a brand new key for the truck. We carry the right keys and gear for both the older Rangers and the newer smart-key models.

Most working Hilux pickups in Ireland use a black plastic key with the blade that flips or folds out at the press of a button, and a small set of buttons on the body to lock, unlock and sometimes open the load area. You put the metal blade into the ignition and turn it to start the truck. Higher-spec models (Invincible and up) often have a "smart" fob instead: you keep it in your pocket, the doors unlock when you touch the handle, and you start the engine with a push button on the dash. Inside every Hilux key, smart or not, there is a tiny hidden chip that the truck has to recognise before it will start, so a plain copy that only turns the lock will not get you moving.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start
• Need a spare so the work van isn't off the road if a key goes missing
• Key is worn or bent from daily use on site and is getting hard to turn
• Key won't turn in the ignition or the lock
• Buttons on the fob have stopped working

What we do

Lock Doctor cuts and programs replacement Hilux keys at the roadside, in your yard or at the depot, so you don't have to tow the truck to a main dealer. We can make a working key even when every key has been lost, supply and set up spare keys, replace worn or snapped keys, sort fobs whose buttons have stopped working and fit fresh fob batteries. We cover both the flip-out blade keys on the work-spec models and the push-button smart keys on Invincible and higher trims, and we get you back on the road the same day in most cases.

Most D-Max pickups use a black plastic key fob with the Isuzu badge and a row of buttons to lock and unlock the doors from a short distance. Older ones are flip keys: you press a button and a metal blade springs out, which you put in the door lock and the ignition to start up. The newest D-Max (from around 2021) comes with a smart key you can keep in your pocket — the doors unlock as you grab the handle and you start the truck with a push button on the dash. Every one of these keys has a tiny chip sealed inside that the truck has to recognise before it will start, so a plain copied key on its own will not work.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start or open
• Need a spare key so the family or another driver has a backup
• The key is worn or bent and is getting harder to turn in the lock
• The key won't turn in the door or ignition
• The buttons on the fob have stopped working or the fob battery is dead

What we do

We come to wherever your D-Max is — your home, a yard, a depot or the roadside — and sort the key there. We cut a new key to fit your truck and match it to your D-Max so it starts and runs properly, including the newer push-button smart keys. We can make spare keys so you are never caught out, replace a lost or broken key even when there is no spare left, and fix fobs whose buttons or battery have given up. No need to tow the truck to a dealer.

Most Amaroks use a flip key: a black plastic VW fob with the metal key blade folded away inside, which pops out at the press of a button. It has buttons on the fob to lock and unlock the truck, and a small chip hidden inside the plastic that the engine has to recognise before it will start. The newest Amaroks (from 2023) tend to come with a slimmer remote fob that does the same job. To start the truck you put the key in and turn it (or, on the latest models, press the start button with the fob in the cab).

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the truck won't start
• Need a second (spare) key so the only one isn't getting passed around the yard
• The fob is worn, cracked or the blade has snapped from years of work
• The buttons on the fob have stopped locking or unlocking the doors
• The fob battery has gone flat and the doors won't respond

What we do

Lock Doctor cuts and programs a fully working replacement Amarok key on site, whether your truck is at home, on a job, or sitting in a depot or yard. We can get you going again if you've lost your only key, supply spare keys so you're never down to one, replace a worn or cracked fob, and fit a fresh fob battery. We come to you across all 26 counties, so there's no towing the pickup to a dealer and waiting.

On older L200s the key is a chunky flip or fixed remote with lock and unlock buttons and a metal blade you still turn in the door and ignition; a small electronic chip is hidden inside the plastic that the truck reads before it will start. On the newer Series 5 (especially Warrior and Barbarian trims) you get a smart fob you can leave in your pocket: the doors unlock when you touch the handle and you start the engine with a button on the dash. The smart fob also has a small metal blade tucked inside it for opening the door by hand if the fob battery ever dies.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and the L200 won't start
• Need a spare so the truck isn't off the road if a key goes missing
• Worn or bent blade that no longer turns smoothly in the door or ignition
• Key turns but the engine won't start because the truck won't read the chip
• Smart fob battery gone flat so the doors won't unlock or it won't start

What we do

We come to you, at home, in the yard or on the depot, and cut and program a replacement Mitsubishi L200 key or smart fob on the spot, so even if you have lost the only key we can get the truck started and back working the same day. We also supply and program spare keys so you are never left with just one, repair worn or snapped keys, and sort flat fob batteries. We carry the right blanks and kit for both the older button keys and the newer keyless-entry, push-button-start fobs.

Most Navaras on Irish roads use a chunky black plastic key fob with the Nissan badge and buttons for lock, unlock and the tailgate. On the older D40 you put the key into the ignition and turn it to start the truck, while the buttons lock and unlock the doors from a few metres away. On the newer NP300 you can leave the fob in your pocket: the doors unlock as you walk up to it, and you start the engine by pressing a start button on the dash with your foot on the brake. There is also a small metal blade that slides or folds out of the fob, so you can still open the door by hand if the fob battery ever goes flat.

Common reasons people call us

• Lost the only key and can't get into or start the truck
• Wants a spare so the whole crew isn't relying on one key
• The key is worn or bent and no longer turns smoothly in the ignition
• Key turns but the truck won't start
• The fob buttons have stopped locking or unlocking the doors

What we do

We come to you, whether the Navara is sitting in a yard, a depot or stuck on a job, and cut and program a new key or fob on the spot so the truck is back in use the same visit. We can do this even when every key has been lost, and we also supply handy spares so you are never caught out with just one key. We work on the older D40 turn-key models and the newer NP300 push-button fobs, and we can sort worn keys, dead fob batteries and keys that have stopped turning.
