LDV Auto Locksmith Essex

Mobile LDV auto locksmith services across Essex, London and Kent. We come to you.

LDV vans have been a working workhorse in the UK for decades, from the Convoy and Pilot to the Cub, the LDV Maxus and the later V80. Many are still earning their keep with trades, couriers and minibus operators across Essex and London. Authorised Auto Locksmith is a specialist auto locksmith company based in Basildon, with a mobile team covering Essex, London and Kent.

We cut and programme LDV van keys and remotes at your yard, depot or roadside, get you back into a locked van without damage, and fit extra van security locks. There is no call out fee, and you get a quote first.

Call 07984 684261 with your model, year and location for a price and a time.

LDV Key Blanks We Cut

LDV vans used keys borrowed from other makers, so the blank depends on the model.

FO19. A Ford style blade listed for the LDV Convoy, Pilot and Cub.

NSN11. A Nissan style blade listed for the LDV Cub.

DWO5R. Listed for the LDV Maxus van.

The later V80 uses a remote flip key. The full table of LDV models, years and key blanks is further down this page. It comes from our trade supplier application list, which is correct at the time of writing but may not be exhaustive.

LDV Key Programming

Older LDV vans such as the Convoy and Pilot often use simple cut keys, while the LDV Maxus and V80 use transponder keys or flip keys that must be programmed to the van.

Our technicians carry the blanks for older LDV vans and the programming equipment for newer ones. Lost keys are removed from the van where the system allows.

All LDV Keys Lost?

It happens more often than you would think. A key falls out of a pocket, a bag is stolen, or the only spare turns out to be missing. The good news is that we do not need the old key to make a new one for your LDV.

Our technician reads the details needed from the vehicle, cuts a new key and programmes it on site. The lost keys are then deleted from the system, so the car is secure again.

You will need your V5C logbook and ID, and we will do the rest. There is no need for the car to visit a dealer.

Lost, Broken or Spare: LDV Car Key Replacement

Most of our LDV calls are about car key replacement. One car key or several, our auto locksmith cuts each car key, programmes it to the car and tests it before leaving. Because the auto locksmith is mobile, car key replacement happens on your drive or at the roadside, not at a dealer.

Lost, Broken and Duplicate Keys

Lost keys, broken keys and duplicate keys are all handled by the same mobile specialist. A lost key is replaced and removed from the car. A broken key or remote is repaired or replaced. A duplicate key and remote fob can be cut and programmed while you wait. If you need emergency assistance with entry, the technician will unlock the door without damage and restore access.

Remote and Fob Faults

When a remote fob stops working, the technician tests the remote, replaces the battery or programmes a new fob, and checks the door locks respond. A lost remote is deleted from the vehicle so it can no longer unlock the car.

LDV Convoy, Pilot, Maxus and V80 Keys

The Convoy is still a familiar sight as a minibus, a dropside and a van. The Pilot and Cub are less common now, but many are still working. The LDV Maxus and V80 are newer, and the V80 shares much of its design with the Maxus vans sold today.

If you run older LDV vans, a spare key for each is the cheapest way to avoid lost days. We can cut spares for a whole fleet in one visit.

Common LDV Key Problems

Worn Keys and Locks

Older LDV vans have worn keys and locks after years of use. We can cut a new key to the correct code so it turns cleanly.

Key Snapped in the Lock

Worn keys snap. We can extract the broken key without damaging the lock and cut a replacement.

Remote Not Working on a V80

If a new battery does not help, we can test the remote and programme a replacement.

LDV Locks and Keys: What Our Essex Locksmith Checks

A new key is only as good as the locks it has to turn. Every time an Essex auto locksmith from our team works on an LDV, we test the door locks, the boot lock and the ignition with the new key before we leave. If a lock is worn, you will hear it from us first.

Some lock problems need nothing more than a service. Others need a repair or a replacement part. We explain the options and the price, and you decide.

Key Snapped in the Lock?

Leave it where it is and call us. Our locksmith will remove the broken part of the key without damaging the lock and cut you a replacement straight away.

Damaged Locks After Attempted Theft

Forced locks are common after a break in. We will regain access to the vehicle, check all the locks and advise on repair or replacement to make the LDV secure again.

LDV Locks We Work On

• Driver and passenger door locks
• Boot, tailgate and rear door locks
• Ignition locks and steering locks
• Central locking faults where the locks will not respond
• Additional van locks and deadlocks

Vehicle locks are a specialist job. A house locksmith rarely has the tools for car locks, steering locks and immobilisers. An auto locksmith does, and it is all our locksmith team does.

LDV Key Prices and No Call Out Fee

Our pricing is simple. We charge no call out fee, and we give you a clear quote over the phone before any work begins. The price we quote is the price you pay.

The cost of an LDV key depends on the model, the year, the key blank and whether you need a remote or smart key. A spare key costs less than a lost key job. Call us with your details and we will give you a price.

Many customers call us after receiving a dealer quote. Because we have none of the overheads of a main dealer site, our prices offer real value for the same quality of key.

What do LDV car keys cost? The cost of car keys depends on the car, the key type and how many keys you need. A spare car key costs less than replacement keys after all car keys are lost, and a smart car key costs more than a basic remote key. Our car key service gives you the cost on the phone for the whole job, with no call out fee on top.

Car keys are also part of your car security. If a car key goes missing, replacing it and removing the lost key from the car protects the vehicle. Our car key services cover every area of Essex, London and Kent, and we finish the job at your location so you are not left without a car or van.

Locked Out of Your LDV?

If you need emergency help, call us first. We will take your location, give you a time, and send someone straight to you. An LDV lockout in a busy car park or at the roadside is stressful, so we aim to get there fast.

Our technicians unlock cars without damage. We use specialist tools to gain access, never brute force, so the door, the lock and the paintwork are left as they were. That gives you real peace of mind.

Can a damaged lock be fixed?

If a lock has been forced, we will look at it and tell you straight whether a repair, a rekey or a new key is the sensible fix before you agree to anything.

This page and its content are here to help. Follow the links further down for more on each lockout and key service in your area.
