How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

It's a challenging task to replace your car's key, especially if it's been lost. You'll need to contact the local locksmith or a dealership to purchase a replacement.

Key Cutting

If you lose your keys, it could be a huge hassle. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services that can assist you in getting back on the right path.

We provide regular and high-security keys for duplication. We use a key-cutting machine to duplicate regular keys. This machine can duplicate mortise keys or cylinder keys. The key is clamped in an vise, and then cut with a knife. The new key is then deburred and rubbed down with a wirebrush that is built into the machine, or manually on a bench grinder to remove any burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.

You will require a machine specifically designed to cut high-security keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, but it's also very precise. It is recommended to bring the original key with you while cutting these keys because differences in the shape of the key could make it unusable.

We use Framon 2 manual originating machines, which are regarded as the most stable and accurate in the industry, some customers have even shared stories of them falling off their workstations to the floor and still being perfectly fine. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.


Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponders, you'll require a key that is programmed to the system. The transponder chip inside each vehicle is unique. If a different key was used, the on-board computer would not recognise the serial numbers and the engine would not start.

Typically, when a loss of a car key is lost the owner must visit their local dealer for a replacement, and get it programmed into the vehicle. It can take between two and five working days and the original key will be required.

However you can cut down on the cost by purchasing keys from an auto locksmith. They can program and cut the key which allows you to open your car with a new key. You will save time and money by not waiting for the car dealer.

Citroen models from before 2000 can be converted into spare keys in only two minutes. More recently, the company has included a PIN code on a'security card' made of plastic' the size of a credit card in the wallet of the owner. This needs to be removed from the vehicle in order to program the new key. We can help you with this, and you'll save going to the dealer.

Ignition Barrel Repair

Modern cars come with keys that go through a series of motions to start. If the key is jammed or damaged, your car won't start. Removal of a damaged or stuck key from the ignition could be difficult and should only be handled by an experienced technician. By using tools and lubrication our specialists can carefully remove your keys from the ignition barrel without causing further damage to your vehicle.

With time, the key and the tumblers inside the cylinder for ignition wear out, making it difficult or impossible to turn the key of your car. A heavy keychain can cause the problem to get worse because it puts extra pressure on the tumblers. This is why we suggest getting your Citroen keys and cylinders tested by our experts before they break and become useless.

It can be time-consuming and expensive to replace your Citroen key at an outlet. The dealership will then order an alternative key, which could take up to 5 days to arrive.
