How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

Key replacement for your car can seem like a daunting task especially when you've lost yours. To get a replacement it is necessary to call an authorized locksmith or a local dealer.

However, it can cost a considerable amount of money. You can prevent this by utilizing a service like SR Key Solutions.

Key Cutting

Your keys are crucial to your daily routine, and when they're lost, it can cause a huge inconvenience. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services to assist you in getting back on track.

We offer regular and high security key duplication. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate keys that are regular. The machine can duplicate mortise keys and keys made of cylinders. The key is held in an vise, and then cut using a blade. The new key is then deburred and rubbed down with a wirebrush that is built into the machine, or manually on the bench grinder to remove burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.

When it comes to high-security keys it is necessary to use a machine that can cut these keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also very precise. Bring the original key when you receive these keys cut. Modifications in shape can make the key useless.

We use Framon two manual origin machines, which are regarded as the most stable and accurate in the industry, some people have even told stories of them falling off their work benches to the floor and still performing perfectly. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponder systems, it will require keys that have been programmed to it. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car, and should a different key be utilized, the computer on board will not recognise the serial number, and will not permit the engine to start.

Normally the moment a car's key is lost the owner should go to their local car dealer to get a replacement and have it programmed into the vehicle. This can take anywhere between two and five working days, and the original key will be required.

However you can reduce the cost by buying the key from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key that allows you to start your car with a fresh key. This will save you time and money because you won't have to stand around for the car dealer to come up with a replacement.

Citroen pre-2000 models can be made into spare keys in just a few minutes. Recently, the manufacturer has put a PIN number on a card called a security which is about the size of credit card that is kept in the wallet of the owner. The card must be removed from the vehicle before we can program the new key. This is something that we can accomplish for you and you'll save a trip to the dealer.

Door Lock Repair

If the lock or key is damaged, it can cause problems when locking, unlocking, and even starting your car. We can repair the ignition barrel or lock at home for a fraction of what Citroen dealers charge. We can also create spare keys in case yours have been stolen or lost.

Prior to 1998, all Citroen vehicles didn't come with transponder chips, therefore creating a new key for them is pretty straight forward and can be done on site in a few minutes. Since 1998, all models require the use of a code that is stored on a plastic "security card' that is about the size a credit card in the wallet of the owner. We can quickly get the code and program your replacement Citroen van key for you.

The main issue with newer keys is that the key fob is out of sync' with your vehicle. We have the equipment in our vans to re-synchronize your key and get you back on the road in no time - again saving you up to 50% in comparison with Citroen dealer costs.

Ignition Barrel Repair

Modern cars have a key that goes through a series of motions to start. If the key is damaged or jammed the car will not start. Removing a damaged or stuck key from the ignition can be difficult and should only be handled by a professional. Using tools and lubrication, our specialists can carefully remove your keys from the barrel of your ignition without causing any damage to your car.


With time, the key and tumblers within the ignition cylinder wear out, making it difficult or impossible to turn the key of your car. A heavy keychain could make the problem worse by putting extra pressure on the tumblers. This is the reason we suggest getting your Citroen keys and cylinders checked by our experts before they become unusable.

It is time-consuming and costly to replace your Citroen key at an outlet. The dealership will send you a new key, which can take up to 5 days to arrive. You'll need to return with your V5 and your ID documents to get it programmed into your car. G28 can save you money if we come to your home or office to perform an Citroen key replacement service for a lower price than the dealer would charge.
