Losing Your Car Keys Can be Inconvenient
Lose your car keys? It’s not a good feeling. Being locked out of your car can completely ruin your day.
Your car could be stolen too
Be careful! If you lose the car key, it’s very easy to lose the car! An alarming 50% of car theft happens when a car key is lost or stolen. There are approximately 50,000 cars stolen each year. The cost of vehicle theft is not just the financial loss, it can be stressful and can mean you lose your independence.
Cost of replacing your car key may not be covered by your insurance
It’s important to know that insurance coverage and policies can vary greatly. Some car insurance policies will not cover the cost of a replacement car key or a locksmith call out, so it is important to know what your policy covers before you decide to make a claim.
What Do You Do if Your Car Keys Are Stolen?
Stop stolen keys being used
When you lose your car keys, it can be a real pain. Fortunately, there are ways to stop your car from being driven away. Whether you locked your keys inside of your car or just want to upgrade to keyless entry, our car locksmiths are here for you. They will make new keys and rekey your locks quickly. If you have had your one ignition key stolen, the technicians at AutoLock Ltd can help. They will cut a new key for you and program it to start your car so you can get it running again in under an hour.
Reprogramme your vehicle
Reprogramming your vehicle is a quick and easy way to help prevent road theft. AutoLock Ltd will come to your location to reprogram your car computer so that it will not allow the engine to start. We also offer high-security transponder keypad systems for cars with door locks and alarm devices.
Deprogramme the stolen keys
If your car keys are stolen, don’t panic! You may be able to stop thieves from welding a blank key and driving off with your car. De-programming your car—a process that wipes out the information in the key’s computer chip—is standard practice at most locksmiths and lots of dealerships. All you need is your car’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and an electronic device called a “pro-reader” or “chip puller.” The reader connects to the battery terminals with alligator clips and allows you to read and write information to a chip or circuit.
Reconfigure locks and ignition
Now you can improve the security of your car, by changing the security code in the locks and the ignition – even when you don’t have a key. Obviously the best way to do that is to avoid getting your keys stolen in the first place – but if that does happen, AutoLocks can help.
What Do You Do if You Have Lost Your Car Keys?
Claim on your car insurance policy
Whether you have lost your car keys or discovered that your car has been stolen, the first thing to do is call your insurance company and find out if you are covered for this sort of situation. If yes, then claim on your policy as soon as possible. Your insurer will want to know which key was lost (or which car has been stolen) and the lock type on each door. Insurance companies are, however, not required to pay out on car key replacement and making a claim could be a waste of time.
Claim on a ‘key cover’ policy
Key cover is part of the standard comprehensive policy and it provides insurance cover to replace your car keys. You can claim on a ‘key cover’ insurance policy that helps replace the cost of having your locks changed, should you need to call a locksmith.

Call your breakdown service
If you have never lost your car keys and locked yourself out of your car, count your lucky stars! But if you do lose your keys, then you may wish to consider calling our breakdown service. However, this option often means paying a high fee for recovery.
Buy a new set of car keys
When your car keys are stolen, you can buy a new set of car keys. This is the simplest solution to this problem, and in some cases, it does work out. There are other great solutions too.
Get a spare car key cut
Many car owners who have lost their keys wish they had a spare key cut before it happened and know the first thing they will do is go straight to the nearest local locksmith to get a new key.
Get a new set of keys from a franchised dealer
If your car keys are stolen, you can order a replacement set from your local dealership. If you have an electronic chipped key, then getting a replacement key can be easy as calling for assistance and the new key can be cloned to your original. You may need to visit a dealer and get a new set of keys or another one made right away. This, however, is not often a cheap or fast process.
Find a specialist auto locksmith
Losing your car keys is probably the most frightening moment of your life. You will feel like your whole life is about to collapse in a matter of minutes. How can you avoid this feeling? By knowing for sure that you will get back in your car soon. But by going around with a specialist auto locksmith, you can be absolutely certain that you will get inside your car and get to drive safely again.
