Car key replacement in Dún Laoghaire
Lost, broken or stolen car keys replaced where the car is.
Modern car keys are two things at once: a mechanical key that turns and a transponder chip the car has to recognise. Both parts need to be right, which is why a key cut in a hardware shop will open the door but not start the engine.

Stolen keys
If keys have been stolen, replacing them is not enough on its own — the old keys will still work. The stolen keys need removing from the car's memory, and that is worth doing the same day.
Car key replacement — common questions
I have lost every key to my car.
That is still solvable at the roadside on most vehicles. It takes longer than duplicating an existing key, so tell us when you call.
Can you stop a stolen key from working?
On most vehicles, yes — the lost key is removed from the immobiliser so only the new keys start the car.
Should I get a spare?
A spare cut while you still have a working key is considerably cheaper than an emergency all-keys-lost job.
