How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key
The replacement of your car key can seem like a daunting task particularly in the event that you've lost your key. You'll need to contact a local locksmith or a dealership to purchase a replacement.

Key Cutting
If you lose your keys, it can be a huge hassle. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services to help you get your life back on the right track.
We offer both regular and high-security key duplicate. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate keys that are regular. The machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as keys that are cylinders. The key is clamped in an vise, and then cut with a blade. The new key is then deburred and by rubbing it down with a wirebrush integrated into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder - to remove any burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
When it comes to keys with high security it is necessary to use a machine that can cut these types of keys. This machine is more expensive, but it's also extremely precise. It is a good idea bring the original key when cutting these keys since variations in the form of the key could make it unusable.
We utilize Framon two manual origin machines, which are known to be the most reliable and stable in the industry. Some clients have even told tales of them falling off their workstations to the floor and being perfectly fine. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.
Transponder Programming
If your Citroen has transponders, you will require a key to be programmed into the system. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car and when a different key is employed, the onboard computer cannot recognize the serial number and therefore will not allow the engine to start.
Normally the moment a car's key is lost the owner will go to the local dealer to get a replacement and have it programmed into the vehicle. This could take between two to five working days and the original key will be required.

Citroen models prior to 2000 can be converted into spare keys within a few minutes. The manufacturer recently added a PIN on the plastic "security card" similar to an ordinary credit card that is kept in the owner's wallet. The card must be removed from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something we can accomplish for you and you will save a trip to your dealer.
Door Lock Repair
If the key or lock is damaged, it can cause problems when locking, unlocking and even launching your vehicle. We can come to your address and repair the lock or ignition barrel at much less than the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also make replacement keys if you've lost or stolen one.
Prior to 1998, all Citroen vehicles did not have transponder chips. Therefore, making the new keys for them is fairly straight to do on the spot in just a few minutes. Since 1998 all models require a unique code which is stored in a plastic card the size of a small credit card, and then 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.

Ignition Barrel Repair
Modern cars come with keys that go through a series of motions to start. If this is interrupted due to a damaged or jammed key, or damage to the ignition barrel then your car won't start. It can be difficult to remove a damaged or stuck key from the ignition. This task should be handled by a professional. With the help of tools and lubrication our experts can safely remove your keys from the barrel of your ignition without causing any damage to your vehicle.
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. A heavy keychain could make the issue worse because it puts extra pressure on the tumblers. This is why we suggest to have your Citroen keys and cylinders examined by our experts before they break and become useless.
The process of getting your Citroen keys replaced at a dealership can be costly and time-consuming process. They will request the replacement key for you which can take up to five days to arrive. You'll need to return your V5 along with your ID documents to have it programmed into your vehicle.
