Why bother with a spare
With a working key on hand, adding a second is generally a quicker process. Lose the only key later and you're into all-keys-lost territory, which is a bigger job.
A spare also makes sense for any business where more than one person drives the van, or where a key tends to live at the yard or in an office drawer.
What's included
- Cutting a blade to match the van's existing locks or key
- Programming the transponder so the engine starts
- Setting up remote locking, if the key has buttons
- Testing both keys before we head off

Spare Van Keys: common questions
Can a spare be cut while my current key still works?
Yes — that's the whole point of this service, assuming your van and key system are compatible.
Can the spare have remote buttons too?
If a compatible remote exists for your van, yes. We'll run through the options once we've checked your details.
