Lost All Your Car Keys? Here's What Happens Next
Losing your only set of car keys is a different problem to a standard lockout. There’s no key to retrieve from inside the car. No spare to fall back on. It feels more serious, and in some ways it is, but it’s still a problem a specialist auto locksmith can fix, usually on the same day.

We only work on vehicles. Not household locks. That focus means we have the right tools and current programming knowledge for every major manufacturer. Call us on 07723 427101 and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can help with your vehicle.

How We Replace Lost Car Keys With No Original
We Don't Need Your Original Key
Most locksmiths need an existing key to cut a copy from. We don’t. Using specialist diagnostic equipment, we pull the security data directly from your vehicle’s systems and use it to generate a new key from scratch. You end up with a fully working key, programmed to your specific car.
The Key Is Cut and Programmed on Site
We carry key blanks for all major manufacturers and cut them at your location. The transponder chip is then programmed to match your vehicle’s immobiliser before we leave. You don’t need to travel anywhere or arrange recovery for your car.
We Work on All Makes and Models
Whether it’s a basic Ford with a standard transponder or a BMW with a smart key and push-button start, we cover the full range. Ford, Vauxhall, Toyota, Audi, Volkswagen, Kia, Mercedes, Nissan, Land Rover, and all other major manufacturers.
Your Car's Security Isn't Compromised
When we generate a new key, the process ties it properly to your vehicle’s immobiliser system. Any previously lost keys can no longer be used to start the car, giving you peace of mind alongside a working key.
We Come to You, 24 Hours a Day
There’s no workshop to travel to. We come to your home, your workplace, or wherever the car is. We operate around the clock, so there’s no waiting until the morning or until the week restarts.
We cover Peterborough and up to 35 miles around it, around the clock.
Lost every key to your vehicle? We can create a new one from scratch, at your location, today. Call now and we’ll confirm availability and give you a quote straight away.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Drivers across Peterborough and the surrounding area have trusted Keygrammer to get them back on the road. Here’s what some of them said.
frequently asked questions
Q1: Can a locksmith make a car key when all keys are lost?
Yes. A specialist auto locksmith can generate a new car key without needing any existing key to copy from. The process involves connecting to your vehicle’s onboard systems to read the security data, then cutting and programming a new key to match your specific car. It takes longer than a standard key copy, but it can usually be completed on site in a single visit.
Q2: How does an auto locksmith make a key without the original?
Using specialist diagnostic equipment, we read the immobiliser and transponder data stored within your vehicle’s own systems. This data tells us everything we need to generate a new key that the car will recognise. We then cut the correct blank and program the chip on site. No original key is required at any point.
Q3: Will losing all my car keys affect my vehicle's security?
When we create a new key, we can configure it so that your vehicle no longer recognises any previously issued keys. This means lost keys can’t be used to start the car, even if someone else finds them. Your vehicle’s security is maintained throughout the process.
Q4: How long does it take to replace lost car keys with no original?
Most all keys lost jobs take between 60 and 90 minutes on site, depending on the make and model of the vehicle. Smart key and proximity key systems can take a little longer due to the more complex programming involved. We’ll give you a realistic time estimate when you call.
Q5: I've lost all my car keys near Peterborough, can you help today?
Yes. Keygrammer covers Peterborough and a 35-mile radius, operating 24 hours a day. Call 07723 427101 and we’ll confirm availability, give you a quote over the phone, and tell you how quickly we can reach you. Most jobs within our coverage area can be sorted the same day.
Q6: Is it more expensive to replace car keys when all are lost?
Replacing car keys when no original exists is generally a more involved job than cutting a spare from an existing key, so the cost reflects that. The exact price depends on your vehicle’s make, model, and key type. Call us on 07723 427101 for an instant quote before we arrive. We confirm the price upfront and it doesn’t change.
Q7: Do I need to take my car anywhere if I've lost all my keys?
No. Keygrammer is fully mobile and comes to your vehicle, wherever it is. You don’t need to arrange recovery or tow the car to a garage. We carry everything needed to complete the job on site.
Q8: What vehicles can you replace keys for when all keys are lost?
We cover all major makes and models, including vehicles with transponder keys, remote fobs, smart keys, and proximity keyless entry systems. Ford, Vauxhall, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mercedes, Kia, Nissan, Land Rover, and all other major manufacturers. If you’re unsure whether we can help with your specific vehicle, call and we’ll confirm before setting off.
