How We Solve Peugeot Key and Lock Problems
Our goal is to get you back on the road with minimal fuss. Here’s how our Peugeot auto locksmith service works:
-
Rapid assessment and dispatch
Call us and tell us your Peugeot model, year, and the problem. We’ll advise the quickest route to a fix and dispatch a mobile technician anywhere in Canterbury or the CT area. -
Non-destructive entry wherever possible
Locked out? We use specialist lock picks, air wedges, and dealer-approved techniques to open your Peugeot without damage in almost all cases. On the rare occasions drilling or parts replacement is unavoidable (for example, a severely damaged lock or failed ignition), we explain why and get your consent before we proceed. -
Peugeot key cutting and transponder programming
- Onboard diagnostics (OBD2): For most Peugeot models we program new keys or remotes via the diagnostic port with dealer-level equipment.
- EEPROM and advanced methods: On some immobiliser systems or all-keys-lost scenarios, we use EEPROM programming and ECU/BSI procedures to securely match a new key to your Peugeot.
- Key types supported: standard blade, remote flip keys, and smart/proximity keys for push-to-start models.
- Precision key cutting: We laser-cut or standard-cut keys on-site from the code or by decoding your existing lock.
-
Fault finding and repairs
If your key is fine but the car still won’t recognise it, we diagnose BSI/immobiliser faults, aerial/antenna issues, and central locking problems. We can repair or replace faulty remotes, key blades, and ignition barrels where required. -
Testing and guarantees
Before we leave, we test lock/unlock and engine start. Our workmanship and new keys/remotes are backed by warranties for your peace of mind.

Security, Anti-Theft, and Modern Peugeot Systems
Peugeot’s modern immobiliser and BSI systems are designed to protect your vehicle. Here’s how we work with them safely:
- Transponder security: We pair the small chip inside your key to your car so it recognises the key and allows the engine to start
- Smart/proximity keys: For push-to-start models, we program your key to communicate with your car’s antennas and control units
- ECU/BSI sync: When control units lose synchronisation or after battery issues, we can re-establish the correct link
- EEPROM: In advanced cases, we carefully read memory chips from ECUs or BSIs to generate or recover key data—always handled by trained specialists
We can also advise on simple car security upgrades and best practices to keep your Peugeot safe.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a new Peugeot key without the original?
Yes. In all-keys-lost situations, we can create a new key and program it to your Peugeot using OBD2 diagnostics, and when necessary, EEPROM and ECU/BSI procedures. We’ll ask for proof of ownership and ID.
Will you damage my Peugeot when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible and open most Peugeots without damage. In rare cases where a lock is already damaged or a component has failed, we discuss options with you first.
How long does Peugeot key programming take?
Many Peugeot keys can be cut and programmed within a single mobile visit. Times vary by model, year, and whether all keys are lost. We’ll give an accurate estimate once we know your vehicle details.
Can you program spare keys and smart keys for Peugeot?
Absolutely. We supply, cut, and program standard, flip, remote, and smart/proximity keys for most Peugeot cars and vans from older models up to 2024/2025.
My Peugeot shows a key symbol on the dash—what does that mean?
It usually indicates an immobiliser or key recognition issue. We can diagnose whether the transponder, aerial/antenna, BSI, or key itself is at fault and provide a fix.
Do you cover Peugeot vans like Partner, Expert, and Boxer?
Yes, we regularly replace and program keys for Peugeot vans and handle lock, ignition, and central locking faults for commercial vehicles and fleets.
