Detailed Procedure for Lost Car Key Replacement

Lost Car Key Replacement Procedure in Dubai

When your car key is lost, it’s important to get a replacement that works seamlessly with your car’s ignition, doors, and security system. Here’s how DEX Key Maker handles the process professionally and efficiently:

Step 1: Identity & Ownership Verification

Before beginning the replacement process, we ensure your safety and compliance with legal standards.

  • We request a valid Emirates ID, driver's license, or passport copy.
  • Vehicle documents such as the registration card (Mulkiya) are required.
  • In the case of a company vehicle, authorization may be needed.

This step is critical to ensure that the car key is only replaced for the rightful owner or authorized user.

Step 2: Vehicle Assessment & Key Type Identification

Not all car keys are the same. We begin by assessing:

  • The make, model, and year of your vehicle
  • Whether the lost key was a:
    • Basic mechanical key
    • Transponder key
    • Remote flip key
    • Smart key / proximity key (keyless entry)

This helps us determine the correct replacement method and tools required.

Step 3: Key Code Retrieval

If all keys are lost, we retrieve the key code needed to cut a new key.

  • Some cars allow key code access via the VIN number
  • For older models, we may manually decode the door lock using specialized tools
  • In some cases, we access the immobilizer system or onboard diagnostics (OBD) to read the ECU

This allows us to cut a key that matches the original lock and ignition.

Step 4: Key Cutting

Using your car's key code, we perform high-precision laser or mechanical cutting using our mobile key cutting machines.

  • This step replicates the blade pattern of the original key
  • For remote keys, we ensure that both mechanical and remote parts are accurately cut and assembled

Step 5: Testing and Final Handover

Before we finish the job, we conduct thorough testing to ensure:

  • The key starts the engine and functions smoothly
  • Remote buttons (lock, unlock, trunk) work properly
  • There are no error messages or ECU conflicts
  • In smart keys, proximity sensors and push start work as expected

Once everything is verified, we hand over the key and offer you the option for a spare key at a discounted price if needed.
