10 Things Everybody Hates About Citroen Berlingo Van Key Replacement
How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

Car key replacement can appear like a daunting endeavor, especially if you've lost yours. To get a replacement, you'll need to call the local locksmith or dealership.

However, this could cost a considerable amount of money. You can avoid this problem by hiring a service like SR Key Solutions.

Key Cutting

When you lose your keys, it could be a huge hassle. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that can assist you in getting your life back on path.

We provide regular and high security key duplicate. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate keys that are regular. This machine can duplicate mortise keys or keys made of cylinders. The key is placed in a vise and cut by a knife, then the new key is deburred, scrubbed with a wire-brush built in the machine or manually in a bench grinder to remove burrs which could be sharp and harm the lock.

When you're dealing with keys that are high-security, you need a special machine that can cut these types of keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also very precise. It is a good idea to bring the original key with you when getting these keys cut because differences in the form of the key could render it useless.

We employ Framon 2 manual originating machines that are known to be the most stable and accurate in the market. Some people have even told stories of them falling off their work benches to the ground and being perfectly fine. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen is fitted with transponder systems, it will require an appropriate key programmed to it. The transponder chip that is in every vehicle is unique to each car. If an alternative key was used the computer on board would not be able to recognize the serial numbers and the engine wouldn't begin.

Normally when a car's key is lost the owner will head to the local dealer to get a new one and have it programmed into the vehicle. It can take between two and five working days, and the original key will be required.

However you can cut the expense by acquiring keys from an auto locksmith. G28 can cut and program the key for you, which will allow you to start your vehicle with an alternative key. You will save time and money by not waiting for the dealer to arrive.

Citroen models before 2000 can be made into spare keys in only two minutes. In recent times, the manufacturer has put a PIN number on a security card that is a plastic which is about the size of a credit card in the wallet of the owner. This needs to be retrieved from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something we can easily accomplish for you and you'll save a trip to the dealer.

Door Lock Repair

If the key or lock is damaged, it could create problems when locking, unlocking, and even launching your vehicle. We can come to your address and repair the lock or ignition barrel at a fraction of the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also make new keys if you've lost or stolen one.

Since all Citroens were not equipped with transponder chips prior 1998, creating keys is a simple process that can be completed on the spot in a matter of moments. From 1998 all models require a code, which is stored on a plastic "security card' about the size of a credit card that is kept in the wallet of the owner. We can quickly obtain this code and program an alternative Citroen key into your vehicle for you.

The key fob could be 'out of sync' with your car. We have the technology in our vans to re-synchronize your keys and get you back on the road in no time at all - again saving you up to 50% in comparison with Citroen dealer costs.

Ignition Barrel Repair


Modern cars are designed to operate with a particular key that is used to go through a series of motions to start. If this process is interrupted by a jammed key or damage to the barrel of ignition, the car will not start. It can be difficult to remove a broken or stuck key from the ignition. This task should only be performed by professionals. With the help of tools and lubrication our experts will carefully remove your keys from the ignition barrel without causing any further damage to your car.

Over time the key and tumblers in the cylinder for ignition wear out, making it difficult or impossible to turn your car key. The issue can be made worse by the weight of your keychain on your keys which places extra stress on the tumblers. We recommend that you have your Citroen keys and cylinders checked by our experts prior to when they break and become useless.

It is time-consuming and costly to replace your Citroen key with an outlet. They will order the replacement key for you which could take up to five days to arrive. When it arrives, you'll have to return with your V5 and ID documents in order to have the key inserted into your vehicle.
