How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key The replacement of your car key can appear like a daunting endeavor particularly in the event that you've lost your key. To get a replacement, you'll need to call an auto dealer or locksmith. However, this can cost you a significant amount of money. It is possible to avoid this by using a service like SR Key Solutions. Key Cutting Your keys are crucial to your daily routine If they're lost, it can create a significant inconvenience. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services to help you get your life back on course. We provide both regular and high-security keys duplication. We utilize a key-cutting device to duplicate keys that are regular. This machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as keys that are cylinders. The key is put in a vise, and then cut with a blade, then the new key is deburred—scrubbed with a wire brush built into the machine or manually using a bench grinder to remove any burrs that may be sharp and damage the lock. You need a machine designed to cut high-security keys. The machine is more expensive but it's also extremely precise. It is recommended to bring the original key with you when cutting these keys because differences in the shape of the key could make it unusable. Framon 2 manual origin machine is considered to be the most reliable and stable machine in the business. Some have told stories of them falling off their work bench and still being in good shape. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators. 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 should a different key be used, the computer onboard will not recognize the serial number and therefore cannot allow the engine to begin. Normally when a car key is lost, the owner will go to their local car dealer to purchase a replacement and have it programmed to the vehicle. It can take between two and five days, and the original key will be required. You can save money by purchasing a key at an auto locksmith. They can cut and program the key for you, making it possible for you to start your vehicle with a different key. This will save you time and money as you won't need to wait for the car dealer to make a replacement. Citroen models from before 2000 can be converted into spare keys within a few minutes. More recently, the company has put a PIN number on a plastic 'security card that is the size of an ordinary credit card in the owner's wallet. It must be removed from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something that we can do for you, and you'll save a trip to your dealer. Door Lock Repair If the lock or key is damaged, it could cause issues locking, unlocking and starting your vehicle. We can come to your address and repair the barrel of your lock or ignition at a fraction of the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also provide replacement keys if you've lost or stolen yours. Since all Citroens were not equipped with transponder chips prior 1998, creating keys is a simple procedure that can be accomplished on the spot in a matter of minutes. From 1998 all models require a code which is stored on a plastic 'security card' that is the size of a credit card and placed in the wallet of the owner. We can quickly get this code and add an alternative Citroen key to your van for you. The key fob might be out-of-synchronisation with the car. We have the equipment in our vans to restore synchronisation of your keys and get you back on the road in a matter of minutes which can save you up to 50% compared with Citroen dealership fees.
