Your Local Renault Key Specialist
I'm Dean — a specialist mobile auto locksmith based in Honiton with over 15 years of experience, including regular work on Renault vehicles. Renault uses the UCH (Unité Centrale Habitacle) — often called the body control unit — to manage key pairing and the immobiliser. Whether you've lost your Renault keys, need a spare Renault key cut and programmed, or your Renault UCH is showing a fault, I carry professional AUTEL and Xhorse equipment built for the full Renault and Dacia range.
Unlike a main dealer, I come to you — home, workplace, car park or roadside — and complete the Renault key programming on-site. The Renault Trafic and Master are among the most common commercial van callouts I attend, and I carry Trafic and Master key blanks and programming equipment as standard.
A note on the Renault Zoe: as Renault's flagship EV, the Zoe uses the same UCH system as the petrol range, so key replacement and programming is handled identically. I carry Zoe key blanks as standard. For information on keeping your keys secure, the AA has a practical guide to keyless car security.
Renault Key Types We Work With
Renault has used a range of key and entry technologies across its model range. I work with all of them:
Renault Flip Keys
Fold-out blade keys with integrated remote, used across Clio, Megane and Captur.
Renault Hands-Free Card
Renault's proximity card key that unlocks and starts without pressing a button.
Renault Smart Keys
Push-button start proximity keys on newer Captur, Megane and Arkana.
Renault UCH Transponder Keys
Chip-coded keys that pair with the Unite Centrale Habitacle module.
Renault Zoe EV Keys
Smart keys for the Zoe using the same UCH pairing system as petrol models.
Renault Card Keys
Slim card-format keys used across several Renault generations.

Our Renault Auto Locksmith Services
Renault Key Replacement (Lost Keys)
Lost all your Renault keys? No original needed. Using your VIN and UCH data I create a complete replacement on-site. See lost car keys.
Spare Renault Keys
A spare Renault key prevents future lockouts. I cut and programme spares for all Renault models on-site — far cheaper than an emergency replacement later.
Renault Trafic & Master Van Keys
Renault Trafic, Master and Kangoo van key replacement is a frequent commercial callout. I prioritise immobilised work vehicles and carry van key equipment as standard for same-day resolution.
Renault Key Programming
Renault key programming via the UCH module. My AUTEL equipment programmes new keys, syncs fobs and resolves UCH faults across all Renault generations — at your location.
Renault Key Fob Repairs
A Renault key fob that has stopped working often just needs a battery, button repair or reprogramming. I diagnose and repair before recommending a replacement.
Renault Broken Key Extraction
Snapped a Renault key in the door or barrel? I safely extract the broken blade and cut a fresh working key on-site.
Common Renault Issues We See
Across thousands of Renault callouts, certain faults come up again and again. If you're experiencing any of these, I can help:
Recent Renault Job — Taunton
Renault Trafic — Lost Only Key
A tradesman lost the only key to a 2020 Renault Trafic in Taunton with a van full of tools. I attended the same day, gained non-destructive entry, read the UCH module, cut and programmed a new remote key on-site, and deleted the missing key for security. The customer was back on the road within the hour — at a fraction of the Renault dealer quote and with no recovery vehicle needed.
Main Dealer vs DB Car Keys
For most Renault key and lock jobs, a mobile specialist saves you time and money compared with a main dealer:
| Main Dealer | DB Car Keys | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting the car there | ✗Recovery often needed | ✓We come to you |
| Waiting time | ✗Days, parts ordered | ✓Same day |
| Pricing | ✗Higher | ✓Typically lower |
| Where the work happens | ✗Workshop visit | ✓Mobile, at your location |
| Availability | ✗Business hours | ✓24/7 emergency |
