Dacia Key Blanks We Cut

Dacia is part of the Renault group, so many Dacia keys share Renault key blades. The right blank depends on the model and the year.

VA2. Used on the Duster, Logan and Sandero from around 2013, often as a remote flip key.

VAC102. Found on the earlier Duster, Logan and Sandero, typically with a separate remote or a fixed remote key head.

HU136. Used on the Dokker, Lodgy and some 2010 to 2013 Sandero models.

NE72. Listed for the Dacia Symbol.

Newer Dacia models such as the Jogger, Spring and the latest Duster and Sandero also use Renault style keycards on some trims. The full table of Dacia models, years and key blanks is further down this page. It comes from our trade supplier's application list, which is correct at the time of writing but may not be exhaustive. If your model is not shown, call us and we will check.

Dacia Key and Keycard Programming

Every Dacia since the first Logan uses a transponder in the key or card, which talks to the immobiliser. A new key must be cut to your locks and then programmed to the car before the engine will start. We carry the equipment to do both on site.

Some Dacia models use a keycard rather than a traditional key. The card is programmed to the car in a similar way, and we can supply and programme replacement cards as well as remote flip keys and fixed remote keys.

Because Dacia shares technology with Renault, our technicians already know these systems well from years of Renault key work.

Replacing Lost Dacia Keys

If every Dacia key has gone, do not book a recovery truck. We can make a new key from scratch at the vehicle. The blade is cut to the lock, the key is programmed to the car, and any missing keys are removed from the car's memory so they will not work if someone finds them.

Bring your V5C logbook and photo ID to the appointment. Proof of ownership is checked on every lost key job we do.

Most lost key jobs are finished in one visit, wherever the car is parked.

Sandero, Duster, Logan and Jogger Keys

The Sandero and Sandero Stepway are the Dacia models we see most often. Earlier cars use a simple remote key, while later cars use a flip key or a card. Either way, a spare key is a sensible buy for a car that is often a family runaround or a first car.

The Duster is popular with families and with people who need a tough everyday car. We cut and programme Duster keys from the first model onwards. We also cover the Logan, Logan MCV estate, Jogger, Spring, Lodgy and the Dokker van, and newer models such as the Bigster.

Common Dacia Key Problems

Worn Remote Buttons

Dacia remote keys see heavy daily use, and the button pads wear through. We can supply a new case or a new remote key and programme it to the car.

Keycard Not Recognised

If the dashboard says the card is not detected, the battery may be flat or the card may be faulty. We can test it and programme a replacement.

Key Will Not Turn

A worn key in a worn lock can stop turning. We can cut a new key to the correct code so it turns smoothly again.

Dacia Door Locks, Ignition Locks and Lock Service in Essex

Keys and locks work as a pair. A worn key wears the lock, and a worn lock makes a new key feel stiff. When an Essex auto locksmith attends your Dacia, we check the locks as well as the key, so the vehicle is secure and the new key turns smoothly in every lock.

If one of the locks is sticking, we will tell you whether a simple service, a repair or a replacement part is needed. We never fit a part you do not need, and every lock service is quoted first.

Broken Key in the Lock

If a key snaps in a door lock or the ignition, do not try to force it out. Our auto locksmith will extract the broken part without damage to the lock, then cut a replacement key on the spot.

Locks After a Break In

If someone has tried to force the locks on your vehicle, call us. We will check every lock, give you access to the car again and advise on repair or replacement so your Dacia is secure.

Which Dacia Locks Can We Help With?

• Door locks on the driver and passenger side
• Boot locks and tailgate locks
• Ignition locks and steering locks
• Central locking that no longer locks or unlocks the doors
• Van locks and extra security locks on work vehicles

Why use a specialist auto locksmith rather than a general locksmith? Car locks are not house locks. A vehicle locksmith understands door locks, steering locks, ignition locks and the electronics behind them, and has the tools to open locks without damage. That is the only kind of locksmith work we do.

Fair Prices for Dacia Keys

We keep pricing straightforward. You get a quote on the phone, there is no call out fee, and the price does not change when we arrive.

The cost depends on the Dacia model and year, the key blank, and whether you need a remote, a flip key or a smart key. Adding a spare key while we are already with you is the best value of all.

Compare our quote with a main dealer and you will usually find we offer better value, with no wait for the key to be ordered.

Emergency Dacia Lockout Assistance

A Dacia lockout is rarely planned. Keys left on the seat, a fob that has died, or someone in the family who has driven off with the only spare. If you need emergency assistance, call us and our nearest technician will come to you.

We unlock the vehicle without damage, using non destructive entry methods every time, and give you access to the car again as quickly as possible. Every lockout service call should end the same way: the car is open, the area is safe and you can get on with your day. That is the peace of mind our customers are paying for.

What if the lock itself is damaged?

If a lock has been damaged by an attempted break in, we will tell you honestly whether a new key, a repair or a rekey is the right answer before any work is agreed.

The content on this page, including the key blank table, is here to help you understand your Dacia. Use the links below to read more about each auto locksmith service.
