How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

The replacement of your car key can seem like a daunting task particularly in the event that you've lost your key. To get a replacement you'll need to contact the local locksmith or dealership.

Key Cutting

If you lose your keys, it can be a major problem. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services to assist you in getting back on the right track.

We offer regular and high-security keys for duplicate. For keys that are regular we use the key cutting machine which can duplicate mortise or cylinder keys. The key is placed in a vise and cut by a knife, then the new key is deburred, scrubbed using a wire brush built into the machine, or manually in a bench grinder to remove burrs which could be sharp and damage the lock.

When you're dealing with keys that are high-security you will require a special machine that can cut these keys. This machine is more expensive but it's also extremely precise. Bring the original key when you receive the keys cut. Modifications in shape can make the key useless.

Framon 2 manual machine is known as being the most reliable and stable machine in the business. Many have shared stories of them falling off their work bench but being fine. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponder systems, it will require the use of a key that has been programmed to it. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car, and in the event that a different key is used the on-board computer cannot recognize the serial number and will not allow the engine to begin.

Normally when a car key is lost the owner will head to the local dealer to get a new one and have it programmed to the vehicle. It can take between two and five days, and they'll need the original key in their possession.

You can save money by buying the key from an auto locksmith. They can cut and program the key for you, enabling you to start your car with a different key. You will save time and money by not waiting for the dealer to arrive.

Citroen models before 2000 can be converted into spare keys in just a few minutes. Recently, the manufacturer has added a PIN code on a'security card' made of plastic similar to a credit card inside the owner's wallet. It must be removed from the vehicle in order to program the new key. We can do this for you and save you going to the dealer.

Over time the key and the tumblers inside the ignition cylinder can wear out and make it difficult, or even impossible to turn the car key. A heavy keychain could make the issue worse by exerting more pressure on the tumblers.
