Our Auto Locksmith Services in Tower Hamlets
Car Key Replacement
If you’ve lost your only key or had it stolen, we can create a new working key from scratch. This includes cutting a new blade and programming the transponder chip to your vehicle’s immobiliser system. We also erase stolen keys from your car’s memory to protect against theft.
Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles require specialist programming equipment to accept new keys. Our technicians use OBD2 diagnostics and, where necessary, EEPROM programming to pair keys with your car’s ECU. We handle transponder keys, remote fobs, smart keys, and proximity systems for push-to-start vehicles.
Vehicle Unlocking
Locked your keys in the car? Our non-destructive entry techniques allow us to open your vehicle without damaging locks, windows, or paintwork. We can access boots, glove compartments, and locked interiors safely.
Car Key Cutting & Duplication
Need a spare key before you lose your only one? We cut and duplicate keys on-site, including laser-cut high-security keys and flip keys. Having a spare can save you significant cost and stress if your primary key fails.

Tower Hamlets has many tradespeople and businesses relying on vans. We provide key replacement, lock repairs, and security upgrades for Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, and other commercial vehicles.
