Automotive Key Cutting & Programming
Car keys make up a good share of what TK Lock & Key Locksmith does in a week. Between us we handle lockouts, keys lost with no spare left at home, blades worn too smooth to turn, remotes that have stopped talking to the car and ignitions that grip halfway — all of it cut and coded wherever the vehicle happens to be standing in Sandton and Gauteng.
We carry on-board programming technology for all major key types, allowing us to cut and programme most automotive keys on-site — a complete mobile solution without the dealership wait.
Keys We Work With
- Genuine remote keys
- Smart keys
- Aftermarket non-remote keys
- Transponder and electronic keys
- Key fob programming and repairs
- Ignition repairs and replacements
Coding Keys at the Roadside
The programming kit travels in the van, so a replacement transponder or remote is usually cut and paired to your car where it stands rather than after a tow. Have your ID and something showing the car is yours within reach — registration papers, or a licence disc matching the plate — because we check that before any key gets coded.
Locked out, or down to your last key? Ring us and talk to the person who will be doing the work.

Who Turns Up When You Ring TK Lock & Key Locksmith
Nobody enjoys standing beside a locked car in a dark parking area, so those calls go to the front of the list. The same small crew works the phone and the vans, which means whoever hears where you are stuck is the one deciding who drives out, and you get told realistically how long that will take instead of a stock answer.
Between us we cover the makes and models common on South African roads, from older mechanical keys through to proximity systems that never leave your pocket. A handful of models still have to go back to a dealer for coding, and if yours is one of them you will hear that on the phone rather than after we have arrived.
