Service overview
Spare Van Keys: what it is and when you need it
What it is
A spare van key is a second working key for your van, cut to the locks and programmed to the immobiliser and central locking. We handle transponder, remote and smart keys for vans, and can also replace keys when none are left.
Who it's for
Sole traders, small businesses, delivery drivers and fleet managers. If your van carries tools, stock or equipment, a spare key is cheap insurance against a day off the road.
When you need it
When a van only has one key, when drivers share vehicles, when a key is wearing out, or when you're taking on a new or used van. It's also worth considering when a driver leaves and keys go missing.
Why use a professional
Vans often have different lock arrangements, such as separate side and rear doors, and programming requirements to cars. We have the equipment to cut and program the key properly so every door and the engine respond as they should.

What happens if you put it off
For a business, a van without a key isn't an inconvenience; it's lost income.
If it's ignored
- Jobs get cancelled and customers are let down.
- Tools and stock stay locked in a van you can't use.
- One lost key can stop a driver working for days.
Risks and rising costs
- An all-keys-lost replacement usually costs more than a spare made in advance.
- Waiting for a dealer can mean several days of downtime.
- Forced entry to a van risks damaging doors, seals and security.
Common mistakes
- Running a fleet with only one key per vehicle.
- Not tracking which driver holds which key.
- Leaving it until a key is lost to arrange a spare.

In detail
Spare Van Keys explained
Van keys come with their own considerations. Here's what we take into account.
Van key types
We supply manual transponder keys, flip remote keys and smart keys for vans. The type depends on the make, model and year of your van.
Fleet key management
For fleets, we can supply spares across multiple vehicles so every van has a backup. That means a lost key is a minor inconvenience rather than a vehicle off the road.
Damaged van keys
Van keys take a beating on job sites. If a blade breaks or a case cracks, a refurbishment is often possible; one customer saved over £225 plus VAT on their VW Transporter when we transplanted the board into a new fob.
Van lockouts
If keys are locked inside a van, we can open it using non-destructive entry tools, keeping your tools and stock secure.
Paying and invoicing
We accept card with emailed receipts, bank transfer and cash. Business and fleet clients can be invoiced. We're not VAT registered, so no VAT is added.
Side, rear and cab locks
Many vans have separate locks for the cab, side loading door and rear doors, and some use deadlocks for extra security. A spare van key needs to be cut and paired so every one of those locks responds correctly. We test each door, the central locking and the ignition before we leave, so drivers aren't caught out at the back of the van with a key that only opens the front.
When a driver leaves or a key goes missing
If a key is lost or not returned when a driver leaves, a replacement can be programmed and, where the vehicle's system allows, the missing key removed so it can no longer start the van. This protects tools, stock and the vehicle itself without changing every lock.
What we need for an accurate quote
Every vehicle is quoted individually, and quotes are free. To give you a precise price first time, send us your vehicle registration, whether the vehicle is an import and where it came from, any electrical or vehicle faults you know about, your location, and a photo of any existing working key. With that, we can confirm the right key and method before we travel, so there are no surprises on the day.

+
In many cases, yes. Once a new key is programmed, lost or unreturned keys can be removed from the van's immobiliser where the system allows, so they can no longer start it.

+

Do you offer a warranty on keys?
+
No. Keys can be damaged by drops, water or a flat battery, so we don't offer a warranty on supplied or cut keys. What we do is test every key on your vehicle before we leave, so you see it working with your own eyes.
