About Gerry
I'm Gerry Commane, owner of The Key Locksmith.
I was born in London in 1978 and served as a Royal Navy Naval Airman between 1998 and 2003. After leaving the Armed Forces, I spent several years working on major construction projects across London, including Wembley Stadium and North Middlesex Hospital.
I've lived in Orpington since 2006 and built The Key Locksmith around values that matter to me — honesty, reliability, quality workmanship and treating people fairly.
As both an MLA Approved locksmith and ALA Approved auto locksmith, I help customers every week with lost vehicle keys, spare keys, vehicle entry, lock repairs and security issues. When you call The Key Locksmith, you'll speak directly with me and in most cases I'll be the person attending your vehicle.

Lost Car Keys Orpington
Losing your car keys can be stressful, especially when you're stranded away from home or need your vehicle for work.
In many cases, I can create and programme replacement keys even when all keys have been lost. Using specialist diagnostic equipment, I can programme new keys to your vehicle and remove lost or stolen keys from the vehicle's memory where applicable.
This can often be completed much faster and more cost-effectively than using a main dealership.
Spare Car Keys Cut & Programmed
One of the most common calls I receive is from customers who only have one working key.
Having a spare key can save significant stress and expense if your main key is ever lost, damaged or stolen.
I can supply and programme spare keys and remote fobs for many makes and models, giving you a reliable backup before an emergency happens.
Emergency Vehicle Entry
Locked your keys inside the vehicle?
The Key Locksmith provides non-destructive vehicle entry services throughout Orpington and the surrounding areas.
Using specialist vehicle opening tools and techniques, I can often gain access without damage to the vehicle, helping you get back on the road quickly and safely.
Car Keys For Most Makes & Models
The Key Locksmith provides replacement car keys, spare keys and remote programming for many popular vehicle manufacturers including:
- Ford
- Volkswagen
- Audi
- BMW
- Mercedes-Benz
- Vauxhall
- Peugeot
- Citroën
- Renault
- Nissan
- Toyota
- Hyundai
- Kia
- SEAT
- Skoda
- Fiat
Whether you've lost all keys, need a spare key, require remote programming or have a damaged key that no longer works correctly, I can often provide a mobile solution at your location.
Van Keys & Commercial Vehicle Specialists
As well as cars, I regularly work on vans and commercial vehicles used by tradespeople, delivery drivers and local businesses.
Common vehicles include:
- Ford Transit Custom
- Ford Transit
- Ford Transit Connect

- Toyota Proace
I understand how important commercial vehicles are to your livelihood and always aim to get customers back on the road as quickly as possible.
Ignition Repairs & Broken Keys
A damaged key or faulty ignition can quickly leave you stranded.
I can assist with broken key extraction, worn keys, damaged remotes and selected ignition-related problems. Early diagnosis often prevents a small issue becoming a much larger and more expensive repair.
A Recent Auto Locksmith Job In Orpington
Recently I attended a customer near Orpington High Street who had lost their only key for a Ford Transit Custom. The van was immobilised and the customer needed it back on the road quickly for work the following morning.
Using specialist diagnostic and programming equipment, I generated a new key, programmed it to the vehicle and removed the lost key from the vehicle's memory. Within a single visit the customer had a fully functioning replacement key and their van was back in service without the need for recovery or a dealership appointment.
Lost vehicle keys, damaged remotes and spare key requests are among the most common auto locksmith jobs I carry out throughout Orpington and the surrounding areas.
