How We Solve Hyundai Key and Lock Problems
Our trained, DBS‑checked technicians use dealer‑level tooling and up‑to‑date methods suited to Hyundai’s immobiliser and remote systems. Here’s how we typically work:
-
Non-destructive vehicle entry
- Wherever possible, we use specialist lock picks and air wedges to open your Hyundai without damage. We will always explain any rare exceptions (for example, if a previous repair has damaged a lock or the security system requires a different approach) before proceeding.
-
On‑site diagnostics and programming
- We connect to your Hyundai’s systems via OBD2 for key learning and remote pairing. For certain immobiliser setups and newer smart keys, we use EEPROM/ECU procedures when needed. This allows us to create and program keys at the roadside, saving you a tow to the dealer.
-
Cutting and cloning
- We carry laser cutting equipment and high‑security key blanks. We can cut a new key to code and, where appropriate, clone transponders for a quick spare. For flip keys, we can replace the key blade and repair hinges.
-
Transponder and smart key programming
- From traditional transponder keys to proximity/push‑to‑start smart keys, we provide full Hyundai key programming. We also handle remote central locking programming and anti‑theft immobiliser adaptation.
-
Lock and ignition repairs
- If your Hyundai key won’t turn or the ignition is worn, we can repair or replace the barrel and reconfigure it to your existing key where practical. We handle broken key extraction from locks and ignition with precision tools.
-
Battery and fob repairs
- If your Hyundai key fob has a dead battery or cracked casing, we offer quick fob repairs or a complete key fob replacement, then test the range and functions before handover.

Hyundai Immobiliser and Smart Key Insights
Hyundai has evolved immobiliser technology across models and years, with proximity keys now common on Kona, Tucson, Santa Fe, and Ioniq ranges. Key points:
-
Transponder chips are essential
- Even if a key looks basic, a chip inside communicates with your Hyundai’s immobiliser. Without programming, the engine won’t start.
-
Smart key nuances
- Push‑to‑start vehicles use proximity keys; if your car says “key not detected”, it may be a failing fob battery, a damaged key, or a sync issue. We diagnose and resolve at the roadside.
-
Remote central locking issues
- Intermittent locking often points to a weak fob battery, worn buttons, or antenna issues. We test, repair, or reprogram as required.
If your fob has simply stopped working, start with our tips and solutions on key fob not working.

FAQs
Can you make a Hyundai key without the original?
