Ford car keys and lockouts in Perth

Years are approximate and key types vary by grade. Tell us the model and year and we’ll confirm before we come out.

A spare is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your Ford. Making one while a key still works is quicker, and costs less, than starting from nothing after the last one goes missing.

We come to the car, cut the blade if it has one, code the chip or smart key to your Ford, and test it on the doors and ignition before we leave. For most Ford models it takes roughly 30 minutes after we reach the car. More on spare keys.

You don’t need the original, and you don’t need a tow truck. We make a new Ford key at the car, using the car itself.

Have these ready:

• Photo ID
• Proof you own the car, such as the rego papers
• The VIN if you can find it (it’s on the rego papers, and usually at the base of the windscreen)

Once the new key works, we remove the lost ones from the car’s system so they can’t start the engine. They may still open the doors, so rekey or replace anything they were on. More on car key replacement.

Keys locked inside, or in the boot? We open Fords without damage to the paint, the seals or the lock. Car openings never cause damage.

If a smart key is sitting inside a locked car, don’t keep pressing buttons on the spare. Call us, tell us where the car is, and we’ll say straight away when we can get there. More on lockouts.

The Ranger is one of the best-selling vehicles in Australia and a staple on Perth work sites. We often cut a spare for each driver on the same visit.

The PX Ranger (2011–2022) uses a flip key with the remote built in, and the newer Ranger and Everest add smart keys on higher grades. Falcons and Territories are getting older, so a spare key is worth having before the last one wears out.
