How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

The replacement of your car key can appear to be a daunting task particularly when you've lost the key. To get a new one, you'll need to call an authorized locksmith or a local dealer.

This can cost you a significant amount of money. You can prevent this from happening by hiring a service like SR Key Solutions.

Key Cutting

When you lose your keys, it could be a huge hassle. G28 Car Keys offers hassle free key cutting services that can assist you in getting your life back on path.

We provide regular and high security keys duplicate. For keys that are regular we employ an instrument for cutting keys that can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is placed in a vise and cut with a blade, then the new key is deburred and scrubbed with a wire brush built inside the machine or with a bench grinder. This is to remove any burrs that may be sharp and damage the lock.

When it comes to high-security keys you will require a special machine that is specifically designed to cut these keys. The machine is more expensive but it's also extremely precise. It is recommended to bring the original key while cutting these keys because variations in the form of the key could render it useless.

Framon 2 manual origin machine is known as the most stable and accurate machine in the industry. There are a few who have told stories about them falling from their work bench, but performing perfectly. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.

Transponder Programming


If your Citroen has a transponder, you will need a key programmed to the system. The transponder chip inside each vehicle is unique. If a different key was used the computer on board will not recognize the serial numbers and the engine would not begin.

Normally the moment a car's key is lost the owner should go to the local dealer to purchase a replacement and have it programmed to the vehicle. It can take between two and five days and the original key will be required.

You can save money by buying keys from an auto locksmith. They can cut and program the key for you, allowing you to start your car with a different key. You'll save time as well as money by not having to wait for the car dealer.

Making an extra key is simple and can be completed on the spot within a matter of minutes for Citroen models prior to 2000. More recently, the manufacturer has added a PIN code on a'security card' made of plastic that is the size of credit card that is kept in the owners wallet. This must be retrieved from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something we can easily do for you and again you will save a trip to the dealer.

Door Lock Repair

If the lock or key are damaged, it can cause issues locking, unlocking and even starting your vehicle. We can visit your location and fix the barrel of your lock or ignition at only a fraction of the cost of Citroen dealers. We can also make replacement keys if you've lost or stolen yours.

All Citroen vehicles did not have transponder chips. Therefore, making the new keys for them is fairly straight forward and can be done on site in a few minutes. Since 1998 all models require a unique code that is stored inside a plastic card that is that is the size of a credit card. It is then placed in the wallet of the owner. We can quickly obtain the code and then program an alternative Citroen key to your van for you.

Often the issue with these newer keys is that the fob becomes 'out of sync' with your car. Our vans are equipped to re-synchronise the key and get you back on the road quickly. You can save as much as 50% off the cost of Citroen dealer services.

Ignition Barrel Repair

Modern cars come with keys that go through a series motions to start. If this process is interrupted by the key being jammed or damaged to the barrel of the ignition, your car won't start. The removal of a broken or stuck key from the ignition can be tricky and should only be handled by a professional. Our experts can take out keys without damaging your vehicle with tools and lubricant.

Over time the key and the tumblers in the ignition cylinder may wear out and make it difficult, or even impossible to turn the car key. A heavy keychain could make the problem worse by putting extra pressure on the tumblers. This is the reason we suggest to have your Citroen keys and cylinders checked by our experts before they are unable to use them.

It is time-consuming and costly to replace your Citroen key with the dealer. The dealership will order you a new key, which can take up to 5 days to arrive. Once it arrives, you'll have to return with your V5 and ID documents to have the key programmed into your vehicle.
