 | Duplicate Brisant Ultion compatible dimple keys for high security cylinders can be expensive.

 | The Ultion WXM is an upgrade to the Ultion lock and brings added protection and security. The Ultion WXM two-part plug design uses molybdenum instead or brass to make it more robust. It also houses two hardened SS630 attack pins that fire when an attack is detected. The new Ultion WXM Keys are around 33% thicker than the original Ultion Keys. The reason for this is to allow more pin heights resulting in more picking difficulty.
These keys are new on the market in 2020 and are not yet widely available in key cutting shops across the British Isles. It's best to contact the shop beforehand to see if they are able to cut a WXM key. | £ 19 | £ 25 |

 | Replacing a key fob battery can be a bit tricky. It's best to use a local professional to ensure that the new battery is fitted correctly. Please note. You will need to call into a local locksmith shop to get your car key battery changed. It is unlikely that a mobile auto locksmith will offer this service.
If your remote key fob has stopped remotely opening the doors, it’s possible that the battery needs replacing. Also, if your car key only opens the doors intermittently, the battery cell may be getting running low.
You should be aware that if the battery in your fob is dead, you should still be able to start the car. A dead battery in your lkey will result in the remote locking and unlocking functionality stopping. In some keyless cars, this may not be the case.
A local specialist will be able to check the existing signal, change the battery and ensure it is sending a signal once the new battery is fitted. | £ 8 | £ 15 |
