Peugeot key work covers a replacement for a lost or damaged key, a spare, a key registered with the car, entry to a locked Peugeot and a remote that has stopped working. Peugeot is a Stellantis brand. Its handbooks name a remote control with a built in key and, on equipped models, an electronic key with Keyless Entry and Start.
Matt is with you within the hour in Leicester, and the same day across Leicestershire. Matt answers the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and a quote is agreed before work begins.
Peugeot Key Work Carried Out at the Vehicle
Six kinds of Peugeot key work are carried out in Leicester, and the method for each belongs to its service page.
- Lost or damaged Peugeot key. A replacement is cut and programmed in place of a Peugeot key that is lost, stolen, snapped or worn out.
- No Peugeot key left. A first working key is produced for a Peugeot whose keys are gone, with nothing to copy from.
- Second Peugeot key. A spare is made from the working key so that the Peugeot is never down to one.
- Peugeot key programming. A remote control or an electronic key is registered with the Peugeot so that the car recognises it.
- Keys shut inside a Peugeot. The Peugeot is opened by non destructive entry and the keys are handed back.
- Peugeot remote fault. A remote that no longer locks or unlocks is assessed at the car, and the fault is named before a route is chosen.
Support for the Peugeot model and year in question is confirmed on the call, from the registration.
Peugeot Handbook Back Up Steps Before a Call
Four Peugeot key situations have a step in the handbook of the car, and each one has a point where locksmith work begins.
| Peugeot key situation | What the Peugeot handbook provides | Where locksmith work begins | What to tell Matt |
|---|---|---|---|
| The battery in the remote control or the electronic key is flat | The built in key in the remote unlocks the car at the driver door lock. On models with Keyless Entry and Start, the electronic key is held against the back up reader on the steering column until the ignition switches on. | The Peugeot still does not start with the key at the reader, or the built in key is missing or does not turn the lock. | The registration, and which of the two steps was tried. |
| The remote stops locking and unlocking after a battery change | A reinitialisation procedure for the remote control. Where the fault persists, the handbook directs the owner to a dealer or a qualified workshop. | The remote stays dead after the reinitialisation procedure. | That the battery is new and that reinitialisation was tried. |
| A Peugeot key is lost | A list of what to bring, which is the vehicle registration certificate, personal identification documents and, if possible, the label bearing the key code. | A new key is wanted where the Peugeot is parked, or no working key is left. | Whether a working key is still held, and whether the key code label is held. |
| The engine does not start with a key that used to start it | The handbook states that the keys contain a code that the vehicle recognises before starting is possible. | The Peugeot no longer recognises its key, and the back up step does not change that. | What the instrument panel shows, and whether a second key behaves the same way. |
These steps come from a current Peugeot handbook and they differ by model and model year, so the handbook of the car itself is the reference. A Peugeot key that fails after its handbook step is work for Matt.

Call Matt on 0116 442 2084Peugeot Key Systems and the Electronic Immobiliser
Peugeot handbooks use three names for what an owner calls the key. The remote control carries a built in key. On equipped models, the electronic key works with Keyless Entry and Start, and the handbook also names Proximity Keyless Entry and Start, which locks and unlocks the car as the electronic key approaches or leaves.
Behind each of them sits the electronic immobiliser. The handbook states that the keys contain a code, and the vehicle recognises that code before starting is possible. A new Peugeot key is therefore registered with the car as well as cut, and that registration step is set out under car key programming.
The equipment Matt carries, from Advanced Diagnostics, Abrites, Autel, Xhorse and SPVG, is used for automotive key programming and diagnostics. Which route applies depends on the Peugeot model, the model year and the key system on the car.
What Matt Asks on a Peugeot Key Call
Five steps run from the first Peugeot key call to a key that starts the car.
- Call 0116 442 2084. Matt answers and asks for the registration of the Peugeot, the model and the year.
- Say what has happened to the key, whether a working key is still held, and which handbook step was tried.
- Say where the Peugeot is parked, so that Matt confirms support for the model and sets off.
- Identity and authority to request the work are checked before key work begins. The V5C vehicle registration certificate and photo identification are common examples, and what applies is confirmed on the call.
- The Peugeot key is cut where it carries a blade, registered with the car and tested in the locks and at the ignition while you watch.
A quote is agreed before work begins.
Peugeot Cars and Vans Identified by Registration
A Peugeot key system changes with the model and the model year, so the name of the model alone does not settle which key the car uses. The Peugeot range in the United Kingdom includes cars such as the 208, the 308 and the 3008, electric versions such as the E-208, and vans such as the Partner.
The registration identifies the exact Peugeot, and Matt confirms that the model and year is supported before he attends. Earlier Peugeot cars are identified the same way.
The Locksmith Behind Each Peugeot Key Job
Matt East takes the Peugeot key call and attends the car or van himself. He trained as a locksmith from 2011 and moved into automotive work, with key cutting and programming equipment, in 2019.
Local garages and main dealers have referred key work to him since 2021, and more than 1,000 jobs are complete. A Peugeot owner deals with one named person from the call to the tested key.
- SERMI Accredited
- NCFE Qualified
- NNAL Member
- Enhanced DBS Checked
- Insured to £5 Million

Where Peugeot Key Work Is Carried Out Locally
Peugeot key work takes place at the address where the car or van is parked, on a drive, in a works yard or in a car park. Matt is with you within the hour in Leicester, and the same day across Leicestershire.
Peugeot Key Situations Beside the Main Work
Three Peugeot key situations hand their method to a service page, and related makes have pages of their own.
Every Peugeot Key Lost and the Code Label
When no Peugeot key is left, a new key is cut and programmed at the car on supported models, and the method sits under lost car keys.
The Peugeot handbook lists the vehicle registration certificate, personal identification documents and, if possible, the label bearing the key code for a lost key. Say on the call whether that label is still held.
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.
A Peugeot Remote That No Longer Locks
Peugeot key fob faults are handled under the car key fob repair service. Whether the remote is repaired or takes another route is confirmed after the fault is identified.
The handbook reinitialisation procedure comes first after a battery change, and a Peugeot remote that stays dead after it is assessed at the car.
Peugeot Partner, Expert and Boxer Van Keys
Peugeot sells the Partner, the Expert and the Boxer as vans in the United Kingdom. Keys for supported Peugeot vans are cut and programmed at the van, and the van specific work is set out under replacement van keys.
Citroen, Vauxhall and Fiat Pages Beside Peugeot
Peugeot, Citroen, Vauxhall and Fiat are Stellantis brands, and each make has a key page of its own. Renault key work has a separate page as well.
Peugeot Dealer Key Route Compared With Mobile Attendance
Comparison. The Peugeot handbook points an owner with a lost key to a dealer, and a mobile auto locksmith is a second route to a working key.
Differences. The dealer route begins at the dealership, while Inta-Lock begins at the place where the Peugeot is parked.
Similarities. Both routes establish who is asking for the key and that the person has authority over the vehicle.
Effects. Completing supported key work where the Peugeot stands removes the reason to move the vehicle solely for that job.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Peugeot handbook ask for when a key is lost?
The Peugeot handbook asks for the vehicle registration certificate, personal identification documents and, if possible, the label bearing the key code.
Inta-Lock checks identity and authority to request the work before key work begins, and what applies is confirmed on the call.
How does a keyless Peugeot start when the electronic key battery is flat?
On Peugeot models with Keyless Entry and Start, the electronic key is held against the back up reader on the steering column until the ignition switches on.
The handbook of the car shows where the reader sits. A Peugeot that still does not start at the reader is diagnosed at the car.
Does a Peugeot remote lose its setting after a battery change?
A Peugeot remote that stops working after a battery change has a reinitialisation procedure in the handbook.
Where the fault persists, the handbook directs the owner to a dealer or a qualified workshop, and Matt assesses the remote at the car.
Is the built in key of a Peugeot remote cut too?
Yes, the built in key is cut when a Peugeot remote that carries one is replaced on supported models.
The handbook uses the built in key for back up unlocking at the driver door, so a remote without a cut blade leaves that step unavailable.
Are Peugeot Partner, Expert and Boxer keys made in Leicester?
Yes, keys for Peugeot vans are cut and programmed at the van on supported models.
Give the registration on the call, and Matt confirms that the van and its year is supported before he attends.
Where is a replacement Peugeot key made in Leicester?
Supported Peugeot key work is carried out where the car stands in Leicester, at a home address, a workplace or a car park.
Matt is with you within the hour in Leicester, and the same day across Leicestershire.
Is the price of a Peugeot key agreed before the work?
Yes, a quote is agreed before work begins on a Peugeot key.
The quote follows the model, the year, the key system and whether a working key is still held, so no price list is published.
