How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key It's a challenging task to replace your car's key especially if it's lost. To obtain a replacement, you'll need to call the local locksmith or dealership. However, this could cost quite a bit of money. You can prevent this by using a service like SR Key Solutions. Key Cutting Your keys are essential to your daily life If they're lost, it can cause a huge inconvenience. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that can assist you in getting your life back on track. We offer regular and high security keys duplication. For keys that are regular we employ a key cutting machine that can duplicate mortise keys or key cylinders. The key is placed in a vise and cut by a blade, then the new key is deburred—scrubbed with a wire-brush built inside the machine or with a bench grinder. This is to remove burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock. It is necessary to have a machine designed to cut high-security keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also very accurate. It is recommended to bring the original key when getting these keys cut because differences in the form of the key could render it useless. Framon 2 manual originating machine is known as being the most stable and accurate machine in the market. Many have shared stories of them falling off their work bench and still being fine. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators. Transponder Programming If your Citroen has a transponder, you will require a key to be programmed into the system. The transponder chip that is in every car is unique to each car. If you used a different key the computer on board will not recognize the serial numbers and the engine would not begin. In the normal course, if a lost car key is lost the owner should visit their local dealer to get the replacement key and have it programmed into their vehicle. It can take between two to five working days and the original key will be required. However you can cut down on the cost by getting the key from an auto locksmith. They can cut and program the key for you, allowing you to start your vehicle with an alternative key. You'll save time as well as money by not having to wait for the car dealer. Making G28 Car Keys is relatively easy and can be done on site within a matter of minutes for Citroen models prior to 2000. More recently, the company has put a PIN number on a card called a security that is the size of a credit card inside the owner's wallet. It must be removed from the vehicle in order to program the new key. We can help you with this and save you the trip to the dealer. Door Lock Repair If the lock or key is damaged, it may cause issues with locking, unlocking, and even starting your car. We will come to your location and fix the lock or ignition barrel at a fraction of the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also create spare keys in case yours have been stolen or lost. From 1998 onwards, all Citroen vehicles don't use transponder chips, so making a new key for them is pretty straight to do on site in a few minutes. Since 1998, all models need a code, which is stored on a security card' that is the size of an credit card inside the wallet of the owner. We are able to quickly locate the code and program your replacement Citroen van key for you. The main issue with newer keys is that the fob goes out of sync' with your vehicle. Our vans are equipped to re-synchronise the key and get you on the road in no time. You can save up to 50% over the cost of Citroen dealer services. Ignition Barrel Repair Modern cars are designed to use a specific key that is used to go through an array of motions to begin. If this is interrupted by a damaged or jammed key, or damage to the barrel of the ignition, the car will not start. It is difficult to remove a broken or stuck key from the ignition. This task should only be handled by a professional. By using tools and lubrication our technicians can safely remove your keys from the ignition barrel without causing any damage to your car. Over time the tumblers and key inside the ignition cylinder can wear out, making it difficult or even impossible to turn the car key. A heavy keychain could cause the problem to get worse because it puts extra pressure on the tumblers. This is why we suggest getting your Citroen keys and cylinders inspected by our experts before they become unusable. The process of getting your Citroen keys replaced at a dealer can be expensive and time-consuming process. They will request a replacement key for you which could take up to five days to arrive. You'll need to bring along your V5 and your ID documents to get it programmed into your vehicle.
