Mercedes CLA Locksmith Hamilton
The Mercedes-Benz CLA is a compact four-door coupe that launched in 2013 on the C117 platform — right at the point Mercedes began rolling out its closed FBS4 key security system. As with the GLA, whether we can help with your CLA comes down to the exact build date, not just the model name.

“Lost the only key to my Hilux on a Friday afternoon. New key cut and programmed in my driveway by Saturday morning — and it cost half what the dealer quoted. Will absolutely call again.”
Early C117 CLA (FBS3) vs the FBS4 Majority
A small window of early 2013–2014 CLAs were built on the older FBS3 immobiliser, which we program in full — standard keys, all-keys-lost recovery, and lost-key deletion. The majority of C117 and later CLA (W118) vehicles run FBS4, Mercedes' closed server-authorised system that no independent locksmith can write a key to. We check your VIN before quoting so you know exactly where your vehicle sits.

Frequently asked
Mercedes-Benz key questions
Can you make a key for my Mercedes CLA?
It depends on the exact build date. Early 2013–2014 CLAs built before the FBS4 changeover — yes, in full. Most CLAs from the FBS4 point onward need the Mercedes dealer network. Call with your registration and we will confirm.
What does CLA key replacement cost if mine is FBS3?
Roughly $420–$650 for a standard key or remote, more for all-keys-lost, confirmed once your build date is checked.
