Cut to Code
AKL cuts car keys to code at your home, work or the roadside across Salisbury and nearby. From standard blades to laser and 2-track keys, Barry cuts an accurate key for your vehicle without you needing to bring the car anywhere.
Car keys are not all the same. Older cars use a simple edge-cut blade, while newer vehicles use laser-cut or 2-track keys with the groove milled into the side of the blade. Cutting these accurately needs the right machine and the right blank, which is why a high-street cobbler often cannot help with a modern car key.
Barry cuts keys to your vehicle so the fit is precise in both the door and the ignition, whether he is copying an existing key or cutting to code where there is no key to copy. For anything with an electronic chip, cutting is paired with programming so the finished key actually starts the car.
Because the work is mobile, there is no need to remove a lock or drive anywhere. The key is cut on-site, tested in your vehicle and handed over working. It is a straightforward job that saves the cost and hassle of a dealer.
Yes. Where there is no key to copy, Barry can cut to code using your vehicle details, then programme it so it starts the car. This is common on lost-key jobs.
Many modern car keys are laser or 2-track and carry an electronic chip. High-street shops usually lack the machine, the blanks and the diagnostic kit to cut and code them. An auto locksmith is set up for exactly this.
Only on very old vehicles. Anything with an immobiliser also needs the chip programmed. AKL cuts and programmes together so you drive away with a working key.
