As an auto locksmith that relies on your tools to earn an honest living, you need tools that you can count on. We have seen a trend in recent months where remote key programming capabilities have been removed from some cheaper programming tools. Specifically, the ability to program keys for certain Renault models where all keys for the vehicle have been lost.
At Hickleys we supply and support two main key programming units, the Smart Pro from Advanced Diagnostics and The Zed-Full Plus from IEA. The software capabilities on these machines have been developed from the ground up and cannot be taken away. Renault ‘all keys lost’ capabilities remain on Smart Pro and Zed-Full Plus machines. Furthermore, our technical team can provide expert technical support to locksmiths out in the field programming keys for their customers. Our key programming supervisor and in-house auto locksmith trainer Jason, has worked with IEA engineers to help develop some of the capabilities on the Zed-Full Plus unit, giving us a great understanding the programming abilities of the tool.
Always remember that the team at Hickleys are here to help you get the most out of the tools and software you already own, so feel free to pick up the phone and speak to Byron, who will advise you on the latest software developments or those which you may not be aware of. 2025 marks our 100th year of being in the automotive industry, and we would have never made a quarter of that time in business with having a constant two-way dialogue with our customers.
Don’t forget that if you are an auto locksmith you can also take advantage of our ‘Locked In’ loyalty scheme that allows you to get 20% off your key and remote purchases as well as free technical support and warranty when meeting a monthly minimum spend. Again, please pick up the phone and speak to us to find out how we can support you and save you money.
