Why BW Keys
A main dealer job, done on your driveway
Everything needed to cut a blade, code a transponder and pair a remote already lives in the van. That is what turns a two-day recovery job into a one-hour visit.
Non-destructive entry
Locked out? We open vehicles using decoding and manipulation tools that leave no damage to your locks, glass or trim.
Dealer-level diagnostics
Advanced Diagnostics SMART Pro hardware with current software — the same class of tool main dealers use to code keys.
Open 7 days, 9AM–10PM
Evenings and weekends included, so a lost key after work or on a Sunday does not have to cost you a day off.

Coming soon
Van Security
Van security locks are the next service we are adding. Tools go missing because a factory van lock can be defeated in under a minute — extra locks are what actually stops it.
- Deadlocks, slamlocks and hook locks
- Anti-peel and anti-drill repair plates
- Lock replacement after an attempted break-in
The mobile workshop
The whole workshop travels with us
A key cutting machine, Advanced Diagnostics SMART Pro equipment, lock decoding tools and a working stock of remotes and blades — all of it in the van, all of it arriving at your vehicle.
- Laser, track and standard blades cut on-site
- Immobiliser and remote coding through the OBD port
- Lock barrels decoded to cut a key with no original
How it works
Four steps from stranded to sorted
No recovery truck, no dealership queue and no waiting on parts. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you ring.
01

Tell us the make, model, year and registration, and what has happened. We will tell you straight away whether we can help and what it will cost.

We come to you
The van arrives at your home, work or wherever the vehicle is parked, with cutting equipment, diagnostics and key stock already on board.
03
Cut and coded on-site
We cut your blade, pair the transponder to the immobiliser and code the remote buttons — typically inside an hour.
04
Tested and handed over
Lock, unlock, boot and a full start cycle are all tested in front of you before payment. Card and bank transfer accepted.

Where we work
50 miles in every direction
Based in Maidstone and on the road every day across mid-Kent and the Medway towns — and we travel out to roughly 50 miles, which takes in the rest of Kent, south London, Sussex and south Essex.
Questions
Things people ask before calling
Yes — we are a fully mobile service. The van carries a key cutting machine, diagnostic equipment and key stock, so the whole job happens wherever your vehicle is parked. There is no need to recover it anywhere.
Most spare key jobs are finished within about an hour of us arriving. An all-keys-lost job takes longer because the blade has to be cut to code first, but the vast majority are still completed in a single visit.
We are open seven days a week, 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM — including weekends and bank holidays. We are not a 24-hour service, so if you call outside those hours we will pick the job up as soon as we open.
Almost always, and usually by a significant margin. You also avoid recovery costs, because a dealer will normally want the vehicle brought to them for a lost-key job while we work at the roadside.
The make, model, year and registration when you call, and proof that the vehicle is yours when we arrive — V5 logbook, insurance documents or a driving licence matching the address. This protects every customer we work for.
Usually yes, provided it is the correct part for your vehicle and the electronics are sound. Quality varies a lot on cheaper listings, so tell us what you have bought when you call and we will let you know honestly whether it is likely to work.
7 days · 9AM–10PM
Locked out, or down to one key?
Tell us the make, model and registration and we will give you a straight answer on price and timing. We come to the vehicle, seven days a week.
