How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key
It can be a difficult task to replace your car key particularly if it's lost. To obtain a replacement you'll have to contact a local dealership or locksmith.
This can cost you a lot of money. You can prevent this from happening by working with a company like SR Key Solutions.
Key Cutting
Your keys are essential to your daily life, and when they're lost, it can cause a huge inconvenience. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services to help you get back on your way.
We offer regular and high-security key duplicate. We employ a key-cutting machine to duplicate regular keys. The machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as cylinder keys. The key is put in a vise and cut with a blade then the new key is deburred--scrubbed with a wire-brush built in the machine or manually in a bench grinder to remove burrs that could be sharp and harm the lock.
It is necessary to have a machine designed to cut high-security keys. This machine is more expensive, but it is also extremely accurate. Bring the original key when you get the keys cut. Shape variations could render the key useless.
Framon 2 manual originating machine is regarded as the most reliable and stable machine in the market. Many have shared stories of them falling off their work bench but performing perfectly. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.
Transponder Programming
If your Citroen is equipped with transponder systems, it will require a key that has been programmed to it. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car, and if a different key is used, the computer onboard will not recognise the serial number and will not allow the engine to start.
Normaly, when a lost car key occurs the owner must visit their local dealer in order to obtain the replacement key and have it programmed into the vehicle. This could take between two and five working days, and the original key will be required.
However you can reduce the cost by getting the key from an auto locksmith. They can cut and program the key for you, which will allow you to start your car with an alternative key. This will save you time and money since you don't have to sit for the dealer to create a replacement.
Citroen models before 2000 can be converted into spare keys within a few minutes. In recent times, the manufacturer has included a PIN code on a plastic 'security card which is about the size of an ordinary credit card 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 do for you and you'll save a trip to the dealer.
