How to Get a Citroen Replacement Key

Key Cutting

When you lose your keys, it can be a major inconvenience. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that can help you get your life back on track.

We offer both regular and high-security keys duplicate. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate keys that are regular. This machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as cylinder keys. The key is clamped in an vise, and then cut with a knife. The new key is then deburred. It is by rubbing it down with a wirebrush built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder - to remove any burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.

You will require a machine specifically designed to cut high-security keys. The machine is more expensive, but it's also extremely precise. Bring the original key to get the keys cut. Differences in shape could render the key useless.

We use Framon two manual machines that are known to be the most reliable and stable in the market. Some customers have even shared stories of them falling off their workstations to the floor, and remaining perfectly safe. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponders, you will require a programed key to the system. The transponder chip used in each car is unique. If the key used was different, the on-board computer would not be able to recognize the serial numbers and the engine wouldn't begin.

Typically, when a loss of a car key occurs the owner will go to their local dealer in order to obtain a replacement, and have it programmed into their vehicle. It can take between two to five working days and the original key will be required.
