When To Call A Ford Specialist
Choose a dedicated Ford auto locksmith when you notice:
- Key fob not responding, even after a battery change
- “Key Not Detected” on push‑to‑start models (Kuga, Puma, Mondeo, Galaxy)
- The key turns but the car won’t start, or the immobiliser light flashes
- The blade is loose, cracked or snapped, or the flip mechanism fails
- Central locking works on the button but not from the fob—or vice versa
- Your Transit key is worn and intermittently fails to turn the ignition
We’ll diagnose whether it’s a key, lock, ignition, or immobiliser fault and fix it on site in most cases.

FAQs: Ford Keys, Fobs, And Immobilisers
Can a locksmith make a Ford key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Ford key from your lock and then program it to your immobiliser. We’ll also delete the lost key from memory for security.
How long does Ford key programming take?
Most Ford key programming jobs take 30–60 minutes once we’re on site, depending on the model and whether immobiliser data needs additional work such as EEPROM.
My Ford says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
First, try holding the fob near the backup detection point (often marked in the owner’s manual) and replace the fob battery. If it still fails, it may need transponder or smart key programming. We can diagnose and fix this on site.
Can you program a used Ford key fob?
Sometimes. Many Ford models lock the transponder to the original vehicle. We’ll advise if a used fob is viable; often a new fob is the most reliable and secure route.
What if my Ford key snapped in the ignition?
Don’t force it. We offer broken ignition key extraction and can repair or replace worn Ford ignitions. If a new key is needed, we’ll cut and program it at the same visit.
Do you cover Ford Transit and fleets?
Absolutely. We support Transit, Transit Custom and Connect, offering spare keys, rapid replacements, and central locking/immobiliser troubleshooting for single vans and fleets.
