Lenny Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ive Purchased a spare Flip Key from E-Bay for my focus, followed the instruction in the cars manual and got it programmed to lock and unlock the car no problem, now when I went to my local lock smith to get the fobs blade cut he says its a specialist job to cut that and he cant do it :o ... Anyone else got this problem or what can i do now, please help . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillmangimp Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 I presume he means its a specialist job to programme the key as the cutting can be done by anyone. Ford dealers charge approx £180-£200 fot this although I purchased a flip key had it cut and programmed for £75 at a auto locksmith. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnH Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 i got a new key (although not remote capable) programmed to start the car (cloned of my current key) and cut for £75. this was at timpsons. they may possibly do this for you, either way i know its laser cut not conventional cutting.

ponsaloti Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 My guess is you didnt go to a locksmith, you went to a key cutter,cobbler,dry cleaners or a boot sale. If you did go to a locksmith, theres a chance he dosnt want to cut your key. Its a bit like taking you own sandwiches into a cafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Thanks for the posts guys, i know better now what im talking about when i ask around about getting it cut it needs to be lazer cut, i thought the difficult part would be getting one cheap on e-bay i was wrong, ill ask around at key cutters bit backward over here though, may ring the ford garage for a laugh, although the sales man is peed off with me because i bought my accessories from ford in the uk through e-bay for half the price rather than buying them off him. oohh hate that lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
