How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key
It's a challenging task to replace your car keys particularly if it's lost. To get a replacement you'll have to contact a local dealership or locksmith.
This could cost you a significant amount of money. You can reduce this cost by using a service such as SR Key Solutions.
Key Cutting
Your keys are crucial to your daily routine, and when they're lost, it can cause a huge inconvenience. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services to assist you in getting your life back on course.
https://www.g28carkeys.co.uk/citroen-car-key-replacements-near-me/ offer regular and high-security keys for duplication. For regular keys we use a key cutting machine that can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is held in an vise, and then cut using a blade. The new key is then deburred. It is rubbed down with a wirebrush built into the machine, or manually on a bench grinder - to remove burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
You will require a machine specifically designed to cut high-security keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also extremely precise. It is a good idea to bring the original key with you when cutting these keys because variations in the shape of the key could render it useless.
Framon 2 manual origin machine is regarded as the most accurate and stable in the market. Many have shared stories of them falling off their work bench, but being in good shape. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.
Transponder Programming
If your Citroen is equipped with a transponder system it will require the use of a key that has been programmed to it. The transponder chip that is in every car is unique. If you used a different key the computer on board could not recognize the serial numbers and the engine wouldn't start.
Normally, when a car key is lost the owner will head to the local dealer to get a new one and then program it to the vehicle. This could take between two and five days and they will need to have the original key with them.
You can save money by buying a key from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key that allows you to start your vehicle with a new key. This will save you time and money as you don't have to sit for the dealer to create a replacement.
Citroen models prior to 2000 can be made into spare keys in two minutes. The manufacturer has recently added a PIN to a plastic "security card" that is the size of an ordinary credit card that is kept in the wallet of the owner. This must be retrieved from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something that we can do for you and again you'll save a trip to your dealer.

If the lock or key become damaged it can lead to problems locking, unlocking and starting your vehicle. We will come to your home and fix the ignition barrel or lock at less than the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also make replacement keys in the event that you've lost or stolen one.
Since all Citroens were not equipped with transponder chips prior 1998, creating keys is a simple procedure that can be completed on the spot in a matter of minutes. From 1998 all models require a code which is stored on a'security card' about the size of a credit card that is kept in the owners wallet. We can easily obtain this code and program an alternative Citroen key to your van for you.
The key fob might be out of sync with the car. We have the tools in our vans to re-synchronize your key and get you back on the road in no time and save you up to 50% when compared with Citroen dealership costs.
Ignition Barrel Repair
Modern cars have a key that goes through a series of motions to start. If the key is jammed or damaged your car won't begin. Removal of a damaged or stuck key from the ignition could be a challenge and should be handled by an experienced technician.

Over time the key and tumblers in the cylinder for ignition could wear out and make it difficult or even impossible to turn the car key. The problem can be exacerbated by a heavy keychain on your keys which adds extra stress to the tumblers. This is why we recommend getting your Citroen keys and cylinders tested by our experts before they break and become useless.
Getting your Citroen keys replaced at a dealership can be costly and time-consuming process. The dealership will send you a new key, which can take up to 5 days to arrive.
