Van Keys in Hamilton

The vans we are asked for most in Hamilton are the Toyota HiAce, the Ford Transit, Nissan vans such as the AD, the LDV G10 and Deliver 9, and the Mercedes Sprinter 906 from 2007 to 2018. Newer Sprinters need dealer equipment. If your van is not on this list, call us with the make, model and year and we will confirm what we can do before we travel.

Most modern vans use a transponder key. The metal blade opens the door, but a chip in the head of the key must be programmed to the van before the engine will start. Many vans also have a remote for the central locking, which is paired separately.

Some work vans also have plain metal keys for the load area, the back doors or a deadlock, and these are cut to match. Which type you have decides what we need to do, so tell us if your van has a remote, a push-button start, or separate keys for the back.

We can make a new van key without the original. We identify the key system at the van, cut a new key and program it, so the van does not need to be towed. We ask for identification and proof that the van is yours before we start, to protect you and to stop the service being misused. If you want the lost key to stop working, ask us to remove it from the van's memory on the day, where the van's system allows it.

A spare cut while you still have a working key is simpler than an all-keys-lost job, and it keeps the van on the road if a key goes missing on site. If your business runs several vans, we can program a spare for each in one visit. Tell us how many vans and which makes when you call.

Van keys often come with related problems. A key snapped in the ignition or a door lock is covered by broken key extraction. Keys locked inside the van are a vehicle lockout. A worn ignition that will not turn is covered under ignition repair, and a remote that has stopped working is covered under remote key programming. See our service areas for where we travel.
