Smart Car Key Blanks We Cut

Smart has shared its key technology with different partners over the years, so the right blank depends on the generation of the car.

VA2. Listed for the later ForTwo, which shares a platform and key system with Renault.

HU56R. Listed for the first ForFour, which shares parts with Mitsubishi.

Earlier ForTwo, City Coupe and Roadster models use remote keys, while the latest Smart #1 and #3 use smart keys with keyless entry. The full table of Smart car models and years, with key and remote details, 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.

Smart Car Key Programming

Every Smart car key holds a transponder that talks to the immobiliser, and most include a remote. A new key must be programmed to the car before the engine will start or the doors will unlock.

Our technicians carry programming equipment for Smart systems and programme remote keys and smart keys at your location. Lost keys are removed from the car so they cannot be used.

Replacing Lost Smart Keys

If every Smart 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.

Smart Car Key Replacement and Mobile Help

Car key replacement is the job we do most for Smart drivers. Whether you need one car key or a full set, our auto locksmith will cut the car key, programme it and test it at the car. A car key replacement from an auto locksmith is usually quicker and better value than a dealer, because the auto locksmith comes to you and the car never leaves your drive. Our mobile team also looks after Smart drivers in Orpington.

Mobile Specialist Help for Lost, Broken and Duplicate Keys

Our mobile technician is a vehicle specialist. If your Smart key is lost, the technician will make a new one. If it is broken, the technician will replace the broken blade or remote. If you want a duplicate, the technician will duplicate the key and the remote fob on site. Need emergency assistance with entry to a locked Smart? The technician will unlock the door without damage and give you access again.

Remote Fob Problems

A remote fob that has stopped working is one of the most common calls. The technician will test the remote, replace the fob battery or programme a new remote fob, and check that the door locks and central locking respond. If a remote is lost, the lost fob is removed from the vehicle so it cannot unlock the car.

Smart ForTwo, ForFour and Smart #1 Keys

The ForTwo is the Smart car we see most often, especially in London where parking is tight. The ForFour is a popular choice for small families. Both are well suited to a spare key supplied and programmed at your home or office.

We also cover the City Coupe, Cabrio, Roadster, Crossblade and the Brabus models, along with the electric Smart #1 and #3.

Common Smart Car Key Problems

Remote Buttons Not Working

Smart car remotes wear with use. If a new battery does not help, we can supply and programme a new remote key.

Cracked Key Case

Older ForTwo keys often crack. We can fit a new case and keep the working electronics.

Key Not Recognised

If the car will not start, the key may have lost its programming. We can test it and programme a replacement.

Smart 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 Smart, 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 Smart is secure.

Which Smart 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 Smart 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 Smart 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.

The cost of Smart car keys comes down to three things: the car, the type of car key and whether you still have a working key. Spare car keys cost the least. Replacement keys after every car key is lost cost more, because the car has to be fully reprogrammed. We tell you the cost of the car key service before we start.

Losing car keys is also a car security issue. We remove lost car keys from the car memory as part of the service, wherever you are in our areas, for cars and vans of every make.

Emergency Smart Lockout Assistance

A Smart 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 Smart. Use the links below to read more about each auto locksmith service.
