What Happens When You Lose All Car Keys?

Losing all your car keys is very stressful. You may be locked out of your car. You may miss work or an important event. You may feel confused and not know what to do next.

Many people think the only option is to go to the dealership. But this can be slow and expensive. Some car dealerships take many days to give a new key. You may need to tow your car to them.

But there is a better option.

What Is VIN Key Cutting?

VIN stands for Vehicle Identification Number. This number is special for every car. It has 17 letters and numbers and is written on the car. You can find the VIN:

• On the driver’s side of the dashboard
• On your car insurance papers
• On your car ownership card

With this VIN number, we at Key It Locks can cut a new car key for you. You do not need the old key. You do not need to go to the dealership. We can come to you.

How Does VIN Key Cutting Work?

The process is simple. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Find Your VIN

Look at your dashboard or car papers and find the 17-digit VIN number. Make sure the number is correct.

Step 2: Share the VIN with Us

Call us or fill out the form on our website. Give your name, car make and model, and VIN number.

Step 3: Prove You Own the Car

We will ask for your driver’s licence and car ownership card. This step keeps everything safe and legal.

Step 4: We Cut and Program the Key

We cut the key using our machines. For modern cars, we also programme the chip inside the key. This helps the car start.

Step 5: We Test and Hand It Over

Once the key is ready, we test it with your car. Then we hand over your new key and you are good to go.

When Can VIN Key Cutting Be Used?

You can use VIN key cutting when:

• You have lost all your car keys
• You don’t have a spare key
• Your key is broken or stolen
• Your key fell somewhere and you can’t get it
• You want a backup key but don’t have the original

Important: VIN key cutting only works if your car is not too old or too new. Very old cars may not have key codes saved. Some very new cars may have extra security. But we can guide you based on your car’s make and model.

What About Chip Keys or Remote Keys?

Modern cars have chip keys or remote keys. These keys do not just unlock the door — they also talk to the car’s computer.

We cut and programme:

• Transponder keys
• Remote keys
• Smart keys (push to start)

Once we cut the key using your VIN, we use special tools to programme the chip. Your new key will work just like the old one.
