Van Keys — Replacement Keys for Trades & Fleets
A van key problem is not the same as a car key problem. The vehicle is usually a working asset, it is often carrying tools worth more than the van itself, and every hour it stands still costs money.
We treat van work accordingly: clear information on the phone, an accurate quote against the specific vehicle, and work carried out where the van is parked — on a site, at a yard, or outside a customer's house.
Common van key situations
The pattern of van work is different from cars. Keys are handed between drivers, live in overall pockets, and take far more physical punishment than the average car key.
- Keys lost on site, with the van loaded and parked up
- Keys shut inside the van along with the phone
- A single key shared between two or more drivers
- Worn or snapped blades after years of daily use
- Load area and rear door lock problems
Spare keys for trades and small fleets
For anyone running more than one vehicle, spare keys are simply operational sense. Arranging spares while every van still has a working key is cheaper than an emergency call-out, and it can be done in one visit when vehicles are parked at the same yard overnight or at a weekend.
If you run several vans, tell us when you call and we will arrange a visit that covers all of them rather than one at a time.
Security after a van break-in
If tools have been taken and keys are missing, the security of the vehicle matters as much as getting it moving again. Where the vehicle supports it, missing keys can be removed from the system so they no longer start the van. Damaged locks are a separate issue and we will tell you what can be done at the vehicle and what needs a bodyshop or dealer.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you cover Ford Transit and Transit Custom keys?
- Transit and Transit Custom vans are among the most common vehicles we are called to. Support depends on the specific year and key type, so we confirm using your registration.
- Can you attend a building site or a yard?
- Yes, as long as we can safely get to the vehicle and you can meet us there with identification and proof of entitlement.
- Can you do several vans in one visit?
- Usually yes, and it is the most efficient way to arrange spares for a small fleet. Let us know how many vehicles are involved when you call.
- My van keys were stolen with my tools. What now?
- Tell us that when you call. Alongside producing a new key, we can discuss removing the missing keys from the vehicle's system where that is supported.
