However, this can cost a considerable amount of money. You can prevent this from happening by working with a company like SR Key Solutions.
Key Cutting
When you lose your keys, it could be a major hassle. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that will assist you in getting your life back on track.
We provide 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 with a blade. The new key is then deburred, using a wirebrush that is built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder - to remove burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
When you're dealing with high-security keys you require a specific machine designed to cut these types of keys. This machine is more expensive but it is also extremely accurate. It is a good idea to bring the original key while cutting these keys, as variations in the form of the key could render it useless.
We utilize Framon two manual-driven machines that are known to be the most stable and accurate in the industry, some people have even told stories of them falling off their work bench to the floor and performing perfectly. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.

If your Citroen has transponders, you will require a key to be programmed into the system. The transponder chip in each vehicle is unique to each car. If an alternative key was used the computer on board will not recognize the serial numbers and the engine wouldn't start.
Normally the moment a car's key is lost the owner will go to their local car 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 present.
However you can reduce the cost by getting a key from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key and allow you to start your car with a new key. This will save you time and money since you won't have to stand for the car dealer to cut a new key.
Citroen models prior to 2000 can be converted into spare keys in two minutes. More recently, the manufacturer has included a PIN code on a'security card' made of plastic that is the size of a credit card inside the owners wallet. This needs to be retrieved from the vehicle before we can program the new key, this is something we can easily accomplish for you and you'll not have to go to the dealer.
Door Lock Repair
When the key or lock are damaged, it can result in problems locking, unlocking and starting your vehicle. We can fix the ignition barrel or lock in your home at a fraction of the cost Citroen dealers charge. We can also make spare keys if yours have been lost or stolen.
All Citroen vehicles didn't have transponder chips. So creating a new key for them is quite straight forward and can be done on site in a few minutes. Since 1998, all models need a code which is stored on a'security card' that is about the size a credit card that is kept in the wallet of the owner. We can quickly obtain the code and then program an alternative Citroen key into your vehicle for you.
The key fob may be 'out of sync' with your car. We have the tools in our vans to restore synchronisation of your keys and get you back on the road in a matter of minutes - again saving you as much as 50% when compared with Citroen dealership fees.
Ignition Barrel Repair
Modern cars use a specific key which goes through various motions to begin. If the key is damaged or jammed the car won't start. Extracting a stuck or broken key from the ignition could be difficult and should be done by a professional. With the help of tools and lubrication our technicians can safely remove your keys from the ignition barrel without any further damage to your vehicle.
Over time the tumblers and key in the ignition cylinder could wear out and make it difficult, or even impossible to turn the car key. A heavy keychain can cause the problem to get worse by exerting more pressure on the tumblers. We recommend having your Citroen cylinders and keys checked by our experts prior to when they become unusable.
It is time-consuming and costly to replace your Citroen key with the dealer. The dealership will then order an alternative key, which could take up to 5 days to arrive. You must bring along your V5 and your ID documents to get it programmed into your vehicle. Northside Car Keys can save you money if we visit your home or office to complete the Citroen key replacement service for a lower cost than what the dealer will charge.
