What We Do
The Real Security Risk of Lost or Stolen Car Keys
If your car keys have been lost in a public place or stolen, your vehicle may be at risk even if you still have physical possession of it. Access247 Auto Locksmith provides professional key deletion services across Leeds, removing old or compromised keys from your vehicle's security system and replacing them with new ones, giving you confidence that only you can access your car.
When a car key is lost or stolen, simply getting a new key made does not address the security risk. The lost or stolen key still contains the electronic credentials that allow it to start your vehicle. Key deletion addresses this by removing the old key's credentials from the vehicle's security system, so even if someone has the physical key, it will no longer start your car.
Important security note: Key deletion always needs to be combined with the production of at least one new key, because the process of erasing all existing keys removes access entirely until new keys are programmed in. We carry both deletion and programming equipment on every mobile visit.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you delete a specific key from my vehicle without affecting the others?+
On many systems yes. The exact capability depends on your vehicle make and model, which we confirm before starting any work.
Does key deletion work if the thief has already used the key?+
If the vehicle has not been moved, key deletion still removes the electronic access the stolen key provides. If the vehicle has already been taken, contact the police immediately.
Do I need to be with the car for key deletion?+
Yes. The work is carried out at the vehicle using diagnostic equipment connected to the OBD port. We come to wherever the car is.
How long does key deletion take?+
The process typically takes 30 to 90 minutes depending on the vehicle system and the number of keys being deleted and replaced.
Can you delete keys and make new ones in the same visit?+
Yes. This is the standard approach. We carry deletion and programming equipment on every mobile visit.
Is there a call-out fee?+
No. Clear upfront quote before we travel. The price on the phone is what you pay.
