Vehicle entryLost Your Vauxhall Keys?
If you have lost all the keys for your Vauxhall, don’t panic. At Lock City, we can supply and programme new keys at the roadside for most Vauxhall models. We can come out to you at the roadside, so no need for towing, or lengthy delays at the dealer.
Lost key helpKey Programming for your Vauxhall
Using the very latest in key coding technology, we can programme keys from our mobile workshop. A common fault on the Corsa and Corsa D is where the key loses it’s programming after a flat battery on the vehicle. We can resync the modules for you with our diagnostic equipment to get you back on the road again. We can come out to the car which avoids towing.

Regain Entry Into Your Vauxhall
Lost, snapped or stolen your Vauxhall key? Whether you drive a Corsa, Astra or Insignia, a Mokka, Crossland or Grandland, a Zafira, or a Vivaro, Combo or Movano van, an immobilised Vauxhall stops the day dead — the school run, the commute, the job you cannot be late for.
Take it to a main dealer and you are usually looking at recovering the car, an appointment days away, and a bill that stacks the key, the programming and the recovery on top of each other. A high-street key cutter cannot help either: every Vauxhall since the Corsa D runs a coded immobiliser, so an uncut, unprogrammed key will open the door but never start the engine. And Vauxhall is trickier than most — the range is split down the middle between the old GM-era cars and the newer Stellantis (PSA) ones, and each needs completely different tooling. Send the wrong locksmith and they simply cannot do the job.
Lock City is a mobile auto locksmith that knows exactly which Vauxhall is which. We come to you with the dealer-level software and the correct blanks for your car — GM or Stellantis — cut the blade on-site and code the key to your immobiliser at the roadside. No towing, no dealer wait, and every Vauxhall key replacement and key programming job is guaranteed. Call 07967 097 899, Monday to Friday, 8am–5:30pm.
Know Your Vauxhall Key
Vauxhall Key Systems Explained
The Vauxhall range splits into two eras, and which one you have decides the blade, the chip and the tooling the job needs. Here is the real breakdown — tell us your reg and we will confirm before we travel:
The GM years (roughly 2006–2019)
- Blade: HU100R internal-cut laser blade — Corsa D, Astra H and J, Insignia A, the first Mokka and the Zafira.
- Transponder: Megamos or Philips Hitag2 (ID46); fixed-head and flip remote keys are common.
- Keyless: Keyless Open / Keyless Start offered on the Insignia and higher trims.
- Immobiliser: GM architecture (GMLAN) — mostly OBD-programmable at the roadside, including all-keys-lost.
The Stellantis / PSA years (2019 on)
- The switch: after the 2017 PSA takeover, new Vauxhalls moved onto Peugeot–Citroën platforms — a completely different key system to the GM cars.
- The cars: Corsa F (2019), Mokka (2020), Grandland, Crossland and the Astra L (2022) use a VA2 / HU83 blade with a Hitag2 / AES chip, and keyless is common.
- What it means: a modern “Vauxhall key” is really a Stellantis key — the blanks and tools are nothing like the older GM cars, so the year matters enormously.
The vans span two families
- Vivaro: pre-2019 rides the Renault Trafic platform (Renault key system); 2019-on is Stellantis, sharing the Peugeot Expert and Citroën Dispatch [verify against your VIN].
- Combo: 2018-on is a Stellantis compact van, twinned with the Peugeot Partner and Citroën Berlingo.
- Movano: older vans are Renault Master-based; the newest is Stellantis [verify against your VIN].
Not sure which you have? Exact cut-over years vary by build date and trim [verify against your VIN]. Give us your registration and we will confirm the blade, the chip and whether it is roadside-programmable before we come out — no guesswork, and no surprise prices.

What Our Customers Say
Excellent experience. Great communication, efficient timing, good price, accommodating & a very warm and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!
Great service today from Barry, the 4th locksmith/key technician to have a go at accessing my car after the keys were locked in the boot. Almost resigned to smashing the window, but he managed to access the car after 2 hours in the wind and rain, with a broken mechanism inside the lock, confirmed by the others who attempted the pick, brilliant stuff.
I was in a real panic, having locked my keys in my boot. Delighted with the efficient and effective service from this company. Had my keys back in my hand in under 5 minutes. Strongly recommend
Bought a new car which only had one key. These guys came out and created a second one quickly and inexpensively. Way cheaper than going to the main dealer and the only people in Bristol who could do it for the Audi A1 I have. Brilliant service.
Locked my keys in my car so Called at 9:45 and was out by 11. Very quick in my eyes considering it wasn’t a booked appointment. Came and unlocked my car in longer than 5 minutes!
Amazing service! I got an email response within minutes on a Sunday night. Arrived as arranged 8:30 next morning and had me back on the road within 30 mins for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Brilliant service and at a reasonable cost highly recommended using this company.
