We won’t damage or cause any signs of forced entry when opening car doors as our skilled team have professional tools and are experts at car lock picking.

Car Key Programming for Welling Drivers
Keys 4 Cars Ltd. provide a quick and easy mobile car key programming service. We can either visit you at home or you can come to our Gravesend workshop if you prefer.
Most car keys have an integrated transponder chip that’s used to deactivate the immobiliser which means the key will need to be programmed to the car. Don’t worry, we’ve got all the equipment necessary to program virtually any car key ( although a tiny percentage may still need coding by your main dealer). Just let us know the make and model and we’ll tell you if we can help. We usually like to supply a new key with programming as it allows us to make sure the correct transponder chip and key are used.
Welling Car Key Repairs
With age, keys can become worn and snap off in locks, causing an unexpected headache. If this happens to you, don’t panic! We can refurbish, repair or replace keys that have problems AND save you money over a full key replacement. Similarly, if your key has lost its sharp grooves and you’re struggling to open your door or turn the ignition barrel, let us take care of it before it stops working altogether or snaps off in the barrel. Make sure you keep our number handy if this ever happens to you and you find yourself stranded in Welling.
Car Lock Repairs
Although it’s mainly the key that gets damaged, occasionally the lock itself might be the problem. If the door lock or ignition barrel becomes worn or is damaged, it can cause the key to get stuck. If this happens to you we can visit you in Welling to repair or replace either the door lock or ignition barrel.
The majority of car locks are made up of between 6-10 wafers. All it takes is for 1 of the wafers to become worn for the key to be unable to meet the wafer, meaning an issue will eventually develop with locking, unlocking or starting your car. We know all the tricks of the trade to remove, replace and/or repair the necessary parts without any damage to your car.

Fascinating facts about Welling
Back in the day, if you were a highwayman, Welling would have been the place to be. The reason was that a large part of the area was covered by thick woodland until clearing began in the 1800s. Regarding the historic name of Welling, there is some speculation as to how the area got its name. Some claim that “Welling” is a simple variation of what people used to say after they’d crossed over the top of Shooter’s Hill in your horse-drawn carriage, you’d be ‘well in’ to the Kent area. This tenuous claim is disputed by others who say that Welling was so-called because of a family named Willing who lived in the area in the 1300s. Alternatively though, and perhaps more likely, is that Welling was named after the spring at Welling Corner, since Welwyn used to mean ‘place of the spring’.
Welling UFC – Welling United was founded in 1963 but didn’t move to their current home in Park View Road until 1977. This was when they took over from Bexley United and moved home. Previously, the club had played at a community sports ground in Eltham and some of you may remember that in 2006 a severe storm damaged the floodlights and so all the floodlight pylons on one side of the ground were taken down. They did, of course, return to Welling United FC ground in 2007.
