Introducing the New Car Key Shop: Find the Right Key from Your Reg Number
Buying the right car key online used to mean guesswork. Which remote? How many buttons? Which frequency? Is it for your exact year? We built the new Car Key Shop website to take that guesswork away.
The headline feature is our reg number search. Type in your number plate and we show you the keys that fit your vehicle. No scrolling through hundreds of products. No second-guessing.
Find your key from your reg in seconds
Our reg search is the quickest, most intuitive way to find a car key online in the UK. It is built into the site so you can use it from the first page you land on.
- Enter your registration. Type your number plate into the search box.
- We identify your vehicle. Within moments we pull up the make, model and year of your car.
- See the keys that fit. We show you the remotes, key cases and transponders that match your vehicle.
- Order with confidence. Pick your key, check out, and we dispatch it fast.
That is it. Four steps, no technical knowledge needed.
Why a reg search matters
Car keys are not one-size-fits-all. Two cars of the same model can use different remotes depending on the year, the trim and the system fitted at the factory. Getting it wrong costs you time and money.
Searching by reg number takes the pressure off you. Instead of decoding part numbers or comparing photos of buttons, you start with the one thing you already know: your number plate.
- Faster: from reg to results in a few seconds.
- Simpler: no need to know your exact model year or trim.
- More accurate: your results are based on your actual vehicle.
- Easier on mobile: type a plate with your thumb, no filters or drop-downs.
No reg to hand? Use the key finder
Maybe you are buying for a customer, a family member, or a car you have not bought yet. Our key finder lets you search by make, model and year instead. Pick your vehicle step by step and we show you every key that fits.
Both tools use the same fitment information, so you get the same reliable results whichever way you search.
Vehicle pages with answers built in
We have also added dedicated pages for popular vehicles. Each one brings together the keys that suit that car, along with a short FAQ answering the questions we hear most often. If you like to read up before you buy, this is the place to start.
Returns made easy
We know ordering a key online is a big decision, so we have made returns simple. Our new returns page lets you submit a return request online and gives you a printable return slip straight away. No waiting for an email, no chasing.
- 14 days from delivery to return an unused item in its original packaging.
- No restocking fee.
- If an item is faulty, wrong or damaged, we always put it right.
Please note that Lishi tools and lock picks, programmed or cut keys, sale items and gift cards cannot be returned. Full details are on our returns page.
Fast dispatch and free delivery
- Order by 3pm Monday to Friday for same-day dispatch.
- Saturday delivery is available with Special Delivery. Order by 12pm on Saturday.
- Free UK delivery on orders over £30.
An important note on programming
The Car Key Shop sells online only, and we do not program keys. Most modern remotes and transponder keys need to be programmed to your car after purchase. This should always be done by an experienced auto locksmith, who has the right equipment to do the job properly.
If you are a locksmith yourself, you will find our range of key cases, remotes, transponders and Lishi tools easier than ever to browse.
Built for drivers and locksmiths
Whether you have lost your only key, want a spare before it is too late, or you are a trade customer sourcing stock for a job, the new site is designed to get you to the right product with as little effort as possible.
We think the new Car Key Shop sets a new standard for finding car keys online. Smart reg search, a simple key finder, clear vehicle guides and straightforward returns, all in one place.
