Common Peugeot Key And Lock Problems We Fix
Peugeot vehicles use modern immobiliser systems and a mix of flip keys, remote fobs, and smart proximity keys. When something goes wrong, it can feel stressful—especially if you’re stuck roadside or late for work. We help Croydon Peugeot drivers with:
- Lost Peugeot car keys or stolen keys (all keys lost or need a spare)
- Locked keys in the car or boot and urgent vehicle entry
- Broken or snapped key blades and worn keys that won’t turn
- Key stuck in the ignition or broken ignition key extraction
- Faulty Peugeot key fob or remote central locking not working
- Car won’t start with key symbol on dash or “Key Not Detected”
- Battery changes and recoding after a flat or replaced car battery
- Door lock and ignition barrel wear, sticking, or malfunction
- Peugeot van key issues for fleets and trades (Partner, Expert, Boxer)
If your issue sounds like “my key fob not responding” or “central locking not working on one door”, we can diagnose whether it’s the key, battery, lock motor, or BSI (Body Systems Interface) module and fix it efficiently.

How Our Process Works
-
Confirm details and ID
We’ll take your Peugeot model, year, VIN if available, and proof of ownership. This ensures the correct key type and security protocols. -
We dispatch a mobile technician
Our fully equipped vans cover Croydon and CR postcodes—Addiscombe, Waddon, Thornton Heath, Purley, South Croydon, Selsdon, Shirley, New Addington, and more. -
Non-destructive entry if required
Locked out? We use specialist techniques to gain entry without damage wherever possible. Rare exceptions are explained and agreed before work. -
Precision cutting and programming
We cut the blade (including laser-cut/high-security profiles) and program the transponder and remote via OBD2. If the vehicle requires it, we retrieve the PIN and synchronise modules. -
Advanced methods for “all keys lost”
On some Peugeot models, all-keys-lost jobs require BSI/ECU access. We can perform EEPROM work to extract PIN/security data when OBD-based programming isn’t supported. -
Testing and handover
We verify remote functions, central locking, immobiliser start, and, for proximity keys, hands-free entry and push-button start. You leave with a working key and clear aftercare advice.
For a deeper look at specific services, see Car Key Replacement and Car Key Programming.
Advanced Diagnostics For Peugeot Immobilisers
Peugeot vehicles (including PSA-era systems shared with Citroën) often rely on BSI modules, model-specific transponders, and PIN-protected programming. We’re trained and equipped for:
- BSI and ECU synchronisation, PIN code retrieval, and key learning
- OBD2 key programming where supported
- EEPROM-level programming for models that require it
- Remote resynchronisation and immobiliser fault diagnosis
- Proximity/smart key set-up and hands-free system checks
We use dealer-level diagnostic equipment and secure methods to protect your vehicle’s anti-theft systems while delivering a swift, reliable fix.

We support most Peugeot models from older generations through to 2024/2025 vehicles:
- Small and family cars: 106, 107, 108, 206, 207, 208, 2008, 306, 307, 308, 407, 508

Non-Destructive Vehicle Unlocking For Peugeot
If you’ve locked keys in your Peugeot—or the fob has died at the worst time—our car unlock service in Croydon uses non-destructive methods wherever possible. We safely open your Peugeot, retrieve your keys, and, if needed, supply and program a replacement key or repair your fob on the spot. For an overview, visit our car unlock service in Croydon.
Peugeot Ignition And Door Lock Repairs
Worn key blades, sticking barrels, and steering lock issues are common on vehicles with years of use. Symptoms include:
- The key won’t turn, or only turns intermittently
- The key pulls out while running, or won’t insert smoothly
- The steering lock is jammed or noisy
- Remote opens the car, but the blade won’t operate the driver’s door
Our technicians repair or replace Peugeot ignition barrels and door locks, match new barrels to your key when feasible, and reprogram keys if the electronics are part of the fault. If your key’s blade is worn or snapped, we can cut a fresh blade and pair it with your existing or new remote fob, depending on the situation.

FAQs
Can you make a Peugeot key without the original?
Yes. We can generate a new key for your Peugeot even if all keys are lost. We create or source the correct key profile, then securely program the transponder and remote to your vehicle’s immobiliser using dealer-level equipment.
How long does it take to replace a Peugeot key?
Many jobs are completed in one visit, often the same day. The exact time depends on the model, key type (flip vs. proximity), and whether all keys are lost. We’ll provide an accurate ETA when you call.
Can you reprogram a used Peugeot key fob?
Peugeot keys are often coded to one vehicle and can’t always be reused. In some cases, a used fob can be reset or recased with a new transponder. We’ll advise the most reliable and cost-effective option for your model.
My Peugeot says “Key Not Detected.” What should I do?
Try your spare key if you have one and replace the fob battery. If that fails, there may be a sync or transponder issue. We can test the key, re-synchronise the remote, and reprogram if required. If there’s an immobiliser or BSI fault, we’ll diagnose and resolve it.
Do I need to tow my Peugeot to a dealer?
Usually not. Our mobile service can unlock, cut, and program keys roadside or on your driveway. We also perform immobiliser and BSI procedures that often avoid dealer delays.
How much does Peugeot key replacement cost in Croydon?
Costs vary by model, year, key type, and whether it’s an emergency or standard appointment. For clear cost factors and a tailored estimate, see auto locksmith prices in Croydon, then contact us for a free quote.
