When You Need Our Commercial Vehicle Locksmith Services
A commercial vehicle presents the same key and lock challenges as a car, but the demands are often far greater—loads are waiting, employees are idle, and a single missing key can disrupt an entire schedule. We specialise in getting vans of all sizes back on the road, tackling problems such as:
- Lost or stolen van keys – Keep your fleet moving with rapid replacement and security reprogramming
- Van key snapped or broken – Professional extraction and new key creation, often on‑site
- Keys locked inside the cab or load area – Non‑destructive entry that protects your vehicle and inventory
- Ignition key stuck or won’t turn – Diagnosis and repair of worn ignition switches and steering locks
- Key fob or remote central locking failure – Reprogramming, replacement, or repair of faulty fobs
- Need a spare van key – Cutting, coding, and duplicating spare keys for everyday convenience
- Commercial vehicle stolen key security – We can reprogram your immobiliser so old keys no longer work, restoring peace of mind
- Fleet key management – Master keys, restricted key profiles, and scheduled maintenance for multiple vehicles
No matter the make or model—popular vans like the Ford Transit, Vauxhall Vivaro, Mercedes Sprinter, Volkswagen Transporter, Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato, and many more—our technicians have the training and tools to help.
How Our Van Locksmiths Get You Moving Again
We follow a clear, efficient process that prioritises your time and the security of your vehicle.
Step 1: Rapid Dispatch to Your Location
Call or email us with the details of your van and the issue you’re facing. Since we’re based in Sutton and cover every SM postcode—from Carshalton and Wallington to Morden and St Helier—we can typically reach you very quickly, whether you’re at the roadside, a depot, or your home address.
Step 2: On‑Site Assessment and Non‑Destructive Entry
When we arrive, we’ll carefully assess the situation. For lockout scenarios, we use specialist tools and non‑destructive techniques to gain entry wherever possible. On the rare occasion that a forced entry is unavoidable, we will explain exactly why and discuss it with you before any work begins.
Step 3: Key Cutting, Programming, and Repair on the Spot
Our mobile vans carry advanced equipment capable of cutting and programming a huge range of commercial vehicle keys:
- Manual locks and standard transponder keys – We cut new blades and code chips using OBD2 diagnostics
- Remote key fobs and flip keys – We can clone or fully program new remotes to your van’s immobiliser
- Proximity / smart keys – For keyless vans that use push‑to‑start, we handle EEPROM and dealer‑level programming
- Lost all keys situations – We don’t need an original to create a working key; our EEPROM and ECU reflash capabilities allow us to generate a key from scratch for most vans
We also extract broken blades, rebuild worn key housings, replace dead fob batteries, and repair ignition problems there and then. Every new key is tested thoroughly to ensure it starts the engine, locks and unlocks all doors, and controls any alarm or immobiliser correctly.
Step 4: Final Check and Paperwork
Before leaving, we’ll run you through the new key’s functions and provide any warranty details. We keep your data safe and can issue invoices and receipts suitable for business or insurance purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you make a key for any commercial vehicle?
We cover the vast majority of vans and light trucks on UK roads, including all major European, Japanese, and Korean manufacturers. For very old models or rare imports, we’ll always advise you honestly and point you in the right direction. Our expertise also extends to fleet vehicles, campervans, motorhomes, and minibuses.
How much does a replacement van key cost?
There is no fixed price, as the cost depends on several factors: the van’s make, model, and year; the type of key (basic transponder, remote fob, or smart/proximity); and whether any additional programming or security reflash is needed. We provide a clear, free, no‑obligation quote when you contact us—just call or email with your van’s details, and we’ll give you an accurate price before we start any work.
I’ve lost all keys to my Ford Transit. Can you still help?
Absolutely. We carry the equipment to create a new key for most Transits—and many other vans—even when no original key exists. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we can extract the necessary security codes and program a fresh key directly to the immobiliser. In some rare cases, we may need to remove a module for EEPROM work, but we’ll explain everything upfront.
Do you cover the whole SM postcode area?
Yes. Our mobile service covers every corner of the SM postcode region, including Sutton, Carshalton, Wallington, Morden, St Helier, Cheam, Rose Hill, Hackbridge, and all surrounding neighbourhoods. We also regularly travel to nearby commercial estates and business parks.
Is my van’s warranty affected if you replace a key?
Not at all. Our services use the same dealer‑level protocols and programming methods as a main dealer, so your warranty remains fully intact. We often save you the cost and inconvenience of towing your van to a dealership.
How quickly can you reach me?
We aim to be with you as fast as possible. Because we’re locally based in Sutton, our mobile technicians can often reach SM post codes quickly, even during peak hours. When you call, we’ll give you an honest journey time estimate.
