Ford car keys in Adelaide

Ford vehicles are common on Australian roads, especially Ranger utes and the workhorse Falcon models. We make and program Ford keys across the board, from older manual-key Falcons to the newer smart-key Rangers and Territorys.

Ford has used different key systems over the decades, and the newer the vehicle the more it changes. We won't guess your coverage. Text your Ford model and year and we will tell you what key it needs and whether we can help.

Text your Ford model and year and we will confirm what key it uses and what it costs. We quote before any work starts, and every key is tested before we call it done. Coverage varies by model and year.

Ford key types through the years

The key type depends on when your Ford was built. Knowing this helps us pull the right key and quote faster.

If you are unsure, send a photo of your key alongside your model and year and we will work it out from there.

  • Older Falcons and work-ute models often use a basic transponder key, a metal key with a chip programmed to the immobiliser.
  • Many mid-range Fords, including some Ranger generations, use a remote key or flip key with the remote and transponder paired together.
  • Newer Territorys and recent Ranger generations use a proximity or smart key for keyless entry and push-button start.
  • The latest Ford platforms can be dealer-only for key programming, and we will tell you honestly if that is the case.

Spare Ford key or all-keys-lost

If you have a working Ford key now, get a spare made while you can. It is cheaper because we can program the new key from the one you have.

If every Ford key is lost or broken, that is an all-keys-lost job. It is more involved, costs more and takes longer because we have to set up the immobiliser from scratch. Tell us your situation and we will map it out.

Ford remote keys and immobiliser faults

Ford key is in the ignition, it turns, but the engine will not start? That can be an immobiliser fault or a remote key not pairing properly rather than the key itself being worn.

Text us your Ford model and year and we will tell you what is going on before you book anything.

What you need for a Ford key job

Have your registration paperwork or VIN ready so we can look up your exact Ford model and what key it needs. Bring photo ID as well, because we confirm you own the vehicle before programming any keys.

If you are making a spare, bring your working Ford key along so we can program from it.

Tested before sign-off

Every key we program is tested in front of you before we call it done.

  • It locks.
  • It unlocks.
  • It starts the car.

If it does not pass, we do not call it done. You walk away with a key that works.

Common questions

Honest answers to the usual questions

Can you make a key for my Ford Ranger or Falcon?
On many Ford Ranger and Falcon models, yes. These are among the most common Ford key jobs we see, from older basic keys through remote keys and up to the newer smart keys. Coverage varies by model and year, so text your exact model and year and we will confirm before you book.
Do you program Ford smart keys and keyless entry fobs?
On many newer Fords, yes. We program smart and proximity fobs for keyless entry and push-button start, as well as transponder and remote keys. Some of the newest Ford platforms can be dealer-only, so we always confirm your model and year first.
I have lost all the keys to my Ford, can you help?
On many Ford models, yes. With all keys gone, we set up the immobiliser from scratch and program a fresh key. It is more involved than a spare, so it takes longer and costs more. Text your model and year and we will tell you straight what is possible and what the cost is.
How much is a spare Ford key?
It depends on the Ford model and whether it is a basic transponder, remote or smart key. A spare made while you still have a working key costs less than an all-keys-lost job. We do not guess prices. Text your model and year and we will quote before any work starts.
My Ford key turns in the ignition but the car will not start, is it the key?
Not always. On a Ford that can be an immobiliser or key not paired correctly rather than a worn key. Text us your model and year and we will tell you what is going on.
