LTI Taxi Key Blanks We Cut

FO19. Our trade supplier lists the FO19 blade, a Ford style profile, for the LTI TX2 and TX4 London taxi.

Taxis are often run with several drivers sharing one vehicle, so spare keys are common. We can cut spares to the correct code so every driver has a key that turns smoothly.

The full table of LTI taxi 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. For the newer LEVC electric TX, call us with the details and we will check.

LTI Taxi Keys and Immobilisers

Some LTI taxis use a transponder or an aftermarket immobiliser alongside the cut key. If your taxi has one, a new key may need to be paired with it before the engine will start.

Tell us about your taxi when you call, including any immobiliser fob, and we will advise on the right key and what needs programming. Our technicians do the work at your location.

Lost LTI Taxi Car Keys

Losing every key to your LTI Taxi is a stressful problem, but it is one we solve all the time. You do not need the original key. Our technician cuts a new key to your lock, programmes it to the immobiliser and makes sure the lost keys can no longer start the car.

A dealer will usually need the vehicle recovered to their site, then order a key and book a time. We come to your location and get you back on the road, often in a single visit.

Have your V5C logbook and some ID ready when we arrive. We always check that the person asking for a key has the right to the vehicle. It protects you and it protects the next customer.

LTI Taxi Car Key Replacement, Remotes and Fobs

Car key replacement for LTI Taxi vehicles is at the heart of what we do. Our auto locksmith cuts the car key, programmes it and tests it at the car, whether you need a single car key or a full set. An auto locksmith comes to you, so car key replacement is often faster and better value than a dealer visit.

Help for Lost, Broken and Duplicate Keys

Our mobile technician is a vehicle specialist who deals with lost keys, broken keys and duplicate keys every day. Lost keys are replaced and removed from the car. Broken keys and remotes are repaired or replaced. Duplicate keys and remote fobs are made on site. For emergency assistance with entry, the technician will unlock the door without damage and get you access.

When the Remote Stops Working

A remote fob that will not lock or unlock the door is a common fault. The technician tests the remote, fits a new battery or programmes a new fob, and checks every door responds. A lost remote is removed from the vehicle so it cannot unlock the car.

Keys for Working London Taxis

A licensed taxi is a business, and every hour off the road costs money. We prioritise taxi drivers and can usually attend at the rank, the depot or your home. Keeping a spare key for each shift driver is the best way to avoid a lost day.

We also work on the private hire vehicles, wedding cars and converted cabs that use the TX2 and TX4 as a base, along with every other make of private hire car.

LTI Taxi Lock Problems and Lock Service Across Essex

Most key problems have a lock side to them. A tired key wears the locks it turns, and stiff locks wear a new key quickly. That is why our Essex auto locksmith team looks at the locks on your LTI Taxi, not just the key.

We will tell you plainly if a lock needs a service, a repair or a replacement part, and we always quote before we touch it.

Broken Keys

A key that snaps in the door or the ignition can be removed by our auto locksmith without damage to the lock. A replacement key can then be cut and programmed on site.

Forced Locks

After a break in attempt, the locks on a vehicle can be left damaged. We restore access, check every lock and recommend a repair or replacement where needed.

Locks We Can Look At

• Door locks
• Boot and tailgate locks
• Ignition and steering locks
• Central locking that locks or unlocks only some doors
• Van locks and high security locks

A general locksmith works on houses. A vehicle locksmith works on car locks, steering locks and key electronics, and carries the tools to open locks without damage. We are vehicle locksmiths only.

How Much Does an LTI Taxi Key Cost?

Every LTI Taxi is different, so we price each job on its details: model, year, key type and whether you have a working key already. What does not change is how we price. There is no call out fee, no hidden extra and a quote before we start work.

Dealer prices for LTI Taxi keys can be high, and you often wait days for the key to arrive. We offer the same quality of work at a fairer price, with the job done at your location.

Ring us with your registration and we will give you a price on the phone.

Car keys for an LTI Taxi vary in cost. A basic car key, a remote car key and a smart car key are all priced differently, and replacement keys after a total loss take more work than a spare. Whatever the job, the cost is agreed on the phone first, so the car key service you get has no surprises.

Good car keys are part of good car security. When a car key is lost, we replace it and delete the lost key from the car, so the vehicle stays secure. That service is available across every area we cover, for cars and vans alike.

Emergency LTI Taxi Lockouts

When you are locked out, you want a quick response and someone who knows what they are doing. Call us for emergency assistance and we will dispatch a technician to your area straight away.

We unlock your LTI Taxi using non destructive methods, so you regain access with no damage to the vehicle. It is a lockout service built around one thing: getting you moving again with peace of mind.

What about a damaged lock?

After an attempted theft, a lock may need a repair or a rekey rather than a new key. We will explain the options before any work starts.
