Lost Your Car Keys? We Make New Ones — No Spare Needed
Losing your only car key feels like a disaster — but it doesn’t have to mean a tow truck and days at the dealership. 401 Locksmith replaces lost car keys from scratch: we come to wherever your vehicle is parked in Brampton or across the GTA, cut a new key, and program it on the spot.
How we replace a key with no original
- Call or text 437-996-9349 with your vehicle’s year, make and model.
- We verify ownership — please have your vehicle ownership and photo ID ready. This protects you: it proves the key is being made for the right person.
- We decode your vehicle’s lock or use the manufacturer key code tied to your VIN to cut a new key accurately.
- The new key or fob is programmed to your car, and on many vehicles the lost keys can be erased from the car’s memory so they no longer start it.
- We test everything — lock, unlock and start — before we leave.
Locksmith vs. dealership
A dealership usually needs your car towed to them, works business hours, and may take days to order and program a key. We’re mobile and open 24/7: no tow, no waiting room, and your replacement key is made where the car sits — at home, at work, or in a parking lot.
Worried someone will find your lost key?
Tell us when you call. On many vehicles, previously programmed keys can be deleted during programming, so a found key will no longer start your car. We’ll confirm what your specific vehicle supports.
Get a spare at the same time
Once you’re down to zero keys, you know the feeling. Most customers have us make a second key during the same visit — it’s the most affordable moment to do it, and it means this never happens again.
Honest, upfront pricing
Every vehicle is different, so there is no one-price-fits-all — the cost depends on your car’s year, make, model and the type of key it uses. What we promise is simple: a free quote before any work, no hidden fees, and no surprises when the job is done. Call or text 437-996-9349 with your vehicle details and we’ll give you a straight price for a replacement key.

Common questions
Can you really make a car key if I have no key at all?
Yes. We cut keys from manufacturer codes or by decoding your vehicle’s lock, then program the new key to your car — all at your location.
What documents do I need?
Your vehicle ownership (registration) and a photo ID. For security, we only make keys for the vehicle’s owner or someone the owner authorizes.
How much does it cost to replace lost car keys?
It depends on your vehicle’s year, make and model and the key type. Call or text 437-996-9349 for a free quote — no hidden fees, and you approve the price first.
Will my lost key still work if someone finds it?
On many vehicles we can erase the lost keys from the car’s memory during programming, so they can no longer start the car. Ask us about your specific vehicle.
How long does it take?
Most replacement keys are cut and programmed in a single visit at your location. Call with your vehicle details and we’ll walk you through the process.
