We were recently called out to assist a customer in Southport who had unfortunately lost the only key to her Fiat Fiorino van. To make matters more stressful, she was stranded over an hour from home, with her house keys also locked inside the van.
With no access to the vehicle and no spare key, she needed urgent help — especially as it was late on a Sunday evening, when most services are unavailable. Thankfully, Paladin Vehicle Keys offers a mobile auto locksmith service, even on weekends, and we were able to attend promptly.
Once on site, we:
🔐 Picked open the driver’s door lock using non-destructive methods to gain access to the van.
🛠️ Decoded the lock to retrieve the necessary information to cut a brand-new mechanical key.
🔑 Cut and programmed a new remote key, syncing it to the van’s immobiliser system to restore full functionality.
The customer was relieved and grateful to be back on the road with a fully functioning key — and most importantly, able to retrieve her house keys and return home.
This job is a perfect reminder of how valuable it is to have a spare key, especially for work vans like the Fiat Fiorino. Losing your only key can be both inconvenient and expensive, but with our mobile service, we ensure you’re never left stranded for long.
