FAQs: Ford Auto Locksmith Medway
Can you make a Ford key without the original?
Yes. We can create a new Ford key from scratch using your vehicle’s VIN/lock data, then cut and program it to the immobiliser. This is common for all-keys-lost situations on Focus, Fiesta, Kuga, and Transit models.
Do you use Ford dealer tools to program keys?
We use dealer-level diagnostics and software that meet or exceed main-dealer capability. Most Fords can be programmed via OBD2; some require EEPROM/ECU work, which we handle as well.
Will you damage my Ford when unlocking it?
We use non-destructive entry methods wherever possible and have specialist tools for Ford locks. If a lock is already damaged or a rare destructive method is necessary, we’ll explain and get your approval first.
How long does Ford key programming take?
Many Ford models take 30–60 minutes from arrival, including cutting, programming, and testing. Complex systems or all-keys-lost may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeframe on arrival.
My Ford says “Key Not Detected.” What should I try first?
Replace the fob battery and hold the key near the steering column or backup slot (varies by model). If it still fails, it may be the key or an antenna/BCM issue—call us and we’ll diagnose on-site.
Can you help with Ford Transit vans for business fleets?
Absolutely. We provide rapid response for Transits, create robust spare keys for drivers, and can schedule site visits for multiple vehicles.
