How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key
It's a challenging task to replace your car's key especially if it's lost. To get a new one you'll need to contact a local dealership or locksmith.
This can cost you a significant amount of money. You can prevent this from happening by hiring a service like SR Key Solutions.
Key Cutting
If you lose your keys, it can be a huge hassle. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services to assist you in getting back on the right track.
We offer regular and high security keys duplicate. For regular keys we use a key cutting machine that can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is placed in a vise, and then cut by a blade, then the new key is deburred--scrubbed with a wire-brush built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder to remove any burrs that may be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
You need a machine designed to cut high-security keys. The machine is more expensive but also very accurate. Bring the original key when you receive these keys cut. Modifications in shape can render the key useless.
Framon 2 manual originating machine is considered to be the most reliable and stable machine in the market. Many have shared stories about them falling from their work bench but being in good shape. 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 programed key to the system. The transponder chip inside each car is unique to each car. If you used a different key the computer on board could not recognize the serial numbers and the engine would not begin.
Normally, when a car key is lost the owner should go to the local dealer to get a new one and have it programmed to the vehicle. This can take between two and five days, and they will need to have the original key in their possession.
However you can cut the cost by purchasing keys from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key that allows you to start your vehicle with a brand new key. You'll save time as well as money by not having to wait for the dealer to arrive.
Making an extra key is straightforward and can be done on the spot in just a few minutes for Citroen models before 2000. More recently, the company has added a PIN code on a'security card' made of plastic which is about the size of a credit card inside the owner's wallet. This must be removed from the vehicle to program the new key. We can do this for you and you'll be able to avoid the trip to the dealer.
