- Assessment: We confirm your vehicle details (make, model, year, fuel type) and the problem—lost key, lockout, or programming fault.
- Non-Destructive Entry: We use advanced lock-picking and air-wedge techniques to open vehicles without damage wherever possible. If drilling or component replacement is the only safe option—rare on modern cars—we’ll explain clearly before starting.

We use non-destructive entry techniques wherever possible. On rare occasions where drilling or component replacement is the safest route, we’ll explain options and get your approval first.
