The make of a car decides which key systems it uses, and the model and the model year narrow that down. Matt East identifies the key system from the registration, and support for the car is confirmed before he sets off.
Matt is with you within the hour in Leicester, and the same day across Leicestershire. A quote is agreed before work begins.
Why the Make Decides the Car Key Job
A car key is built for the immobiliser and the locks of one make, so a key for one make does not start a car of another. Each manufacturer names its own key systems, and those systems change between models and between model years of one model.
That is the reason the make comes first on a key call. Once the make, the model and the year are known, the key itself is cut and then coded to the car, and the coding step is set out under car key programming.
The 24 Car Makes With Key Pages
The makes are grouped by the manufacturer group they belong to, because makes in one group often share key systems. Each card opens the key page for that make.

Call Matt on 0116 442 2084How Matt Identifies the Key From the Registration
Four details place a car key job, and each one is asked for on the call.
- The registration. It gives the make, the model and the year in one detail, and it is the quickest way to place the key system.
- How the car starts. A key turned in an ignition lock and a start button point to different key systems on the same make.
- Which keys are still held. One working key, a key the car refuses and no key at all are three different jobs.
- Where the car stands. The street and the postcode in Leicester or Leicestershire, and whether the car is locked.
Support for the make, the model and the year is confirmed on the call, before Matt sets off. A quote is agreed before work begins.
Checks Before a Car Key Is Cut
Identity and authority to request the work are checked before key work begins on a car of each make. The V5C vehicle registration certificate and photo identification are common examples, and what applies is confirmed on the call.
Inta-Lock holds SERMI accreditation. The SERMI scheme authorises access to security related manufacturer information where supported key work requires it. It does not make a given make or model supported, which is why the registration is checked first.
Matt East Works on Each Make Himself
Matt East takes the call and attends the car for each make on this page, with no subcontractor in between. His locksmith training dates from 2011, and automotive key work with cutting and programming equipment began in 2019.
Local garages and main dealers have referred key work since 2021, and more than 1,000 jobs are complete. Manufacturer systems are carried for two groups only, ODIS for supported Volkswagen Group work and JLR Topix for supported Jaguar Land Rover work.

Car Make Questions Beside the Main List
Four situations sit beside the list of makes, and each one has its own answer.
A Car Make Without a Page Here
A make that has no page on this site is not ruled out. Call with the registration, and Matt confirms on the call whether the make, the model and the year are supported.
The work itself is the same service whichever badge the car carries, and the full list sits under auto locksmith services.
Vans Sold Under a Car Make Badge
Several makes on this page sell vans as well as cars. Van key work has a service page of its own under replacement van keys, and the make page says where a van range belongs.
Every Key Lost on a Listed Make
Where no working key is left, the make page still applies, and the method belongs to lost car keys. Missing electronic keys are removed from the immobiliser memory where the vehicle supports it. A mechanical blade still turns a physical lock unless that lock is changed or rekeyed.
Digital Keys From the Car Maker
Several makes offer a digital key on a smartphone. It is managed through the digital key setup the car maker supports, and it is not cut or programmed as a physical key.
Inta-Lock works on the physical key, the locks and the immobiliser. A second physical key made while one still works is covered under spare car keys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which car makes does Inta-Lock cut and programme keys for?
Inta-Lock has key pages for 24 car makes, from Audi to Volvo, and support for a given car is confirmed from the registration.
The makes are listed on this page in their manufacturer groups, and each card opens the key page for that make.
Why does the make of a car matter for a new key?
The make matters because each manufacturer uses its own key systems, and a new key is cut and coded for the system on that car.
The model and the model year narrow the system down further, which is why the registration is asked for.
Why does Matt ask for the registration first?
The registration gives the make, the model and the year in one detail, so the key system is identified before Matt sets off.
It also lets Matt confirm on the call whether the car is supported.
Is a car make that is not listed still covered?
A make with no page here is not ruled out, and support is confirmed on the call from the registration.
The 24 makes on this page are the ones with a key page of their own.
Does a make page list each supported model?
No, a make page explains the key systems of the make and names model families, and support for a model and year is confirmed on the call.
A key system changes between model years of one model, so a fixed model list goes out of date.
Does Inta-Lock set up a digital key on a phone?
No, a digital key is managed through the digital key setup the car maker supports.
Inta-Lock works on the physical key, the locks and the immobiliser of the car.
Car key work for each make starts with a call to Matt and the registration of the car.
