The ABS endurance lock has emerged in the market in 2020.  The Endurance lock has been made for a specific door and window company in the UK.  These locks are British Standard, 3 star locks of the highest quality. Your ABS Master Key Code is two letters followed by 7 numbers and then four more letters.  The Key code begins with two Alpha Digits followed by seven numbers and a further four alpha digits* For example: MG2457877AFTA.  On older models the code did not include the last two alpha digits. Currently not many key cutters are offering this service.  If you are lucky enough to find someone, you may need to present your security card for authorisation.

Avocet ABS  keys are a High Security key for the ABS 3 Star Cylinder.  These keys can only be cut through an ABS Elite Centre. Usually ABS keys are cut on genuine ABS key blanks using state-of-the art machines to ensure a perfect fit every time.  To become an elite centre, companies need to stock the cylinders so a certain investment is needed by the stockist.  Bearing this in mind it is unlikely you will be able to get these cut in smaller shoe repairers or hardware stores.  This also reflects the higher prices charged for these keys. It's more likely that key cutting locksmiths or dedicated key cutting shops may be able to help.  If you have lost your card, a skilled key cutter should be able to help as long as you can show identification.  You can find your local authorised ABS Key Centre Here.

Sticky situations such as losing or damaging your keys or being locked outside of your car are unavoidable. There's no fixed cost to open a locked car— prices may vary depending on the make and model of your vehicle. Some vehicles need to be bypassed or picked open. In most cases, nondestructive methods are utilized to ensure no damage on your property, but some locks need to be drilled on rare occasions. Whatever the case may be, you should contact competent technicians immediately. Skilled auto locksmiths can effortlessly formulate plans of action when you come to them for help. Availing lockout services generally cost more for emergencies compared to usual working hours. Note that prices may be higher at night, on weekends, and during holidays.

Do not be too concerned, a reliable Auto Locksmith can help Ford Transit Custom ignition problems have been around for 20 years.  They have always been known to wear down, but on the old MK7 Transit, this general wear and tear wouldn’t cause any issues for around 8-10 years, but with more recent models, for many people the problem will appear much sooner.
