Car Keys by Post – Spare & Replacement Keys Delivered (From Our Leicester Team)
Not every key job needs an emergency call‑out. If you’re not locked out and you’re planning ahead, Keys by Post can be a practical way to arrange certain spare keys, replacement fobs, or key solutions without needing an in‑person visit (vehicle dependent).
KeyWorx is based in Leicester, and for eligible orders we can supply keys by post using secure processes and tracked delivery. We’ll confirm what’s possible for your vehicle before you spend money, and we’ll explain any programming requirements upfront.

What We Mean by “Keys by Post” (No Confusion, No Guesswork)
A common frustration for customers is ordering something online labelled as a “replacement key”, only to find out it:
- Doesn’t Match the Vehicle
- Can’t be Programmed
- Is a used Fob that can’t be Re‑paired
- Looks right but doesn’t Function
KeyWorx Keys by Post is different. We aim to make this a clear, guided service where we:
- Confirm the correct key/fob type for your vehicle (where possible)
- Explain what will and won’t work
- Confirm what programming will be required (if any)
- Apply security checks so keys are not supplied irresponsibly
- Dispatch using a tracked, secure delivery method (where applicable)
How Keys by Post Works (Step-by-Step)
When you contact KeyWorx about lost keys, we keep the process straightforward.
Step 1 – You enquire with your vehicle details
Make/Model/Year. What you’re trying to achieve (spare key, replacement remote, etc.). Your location (UK delivery address) What you currently have (one working key, damaged key, etc.)
Step 2 – We confirm eligibility and explain the options
We’ll confirm whether a postal solution is realistic for your vehicle and your goal. If it isn’t, we’ll point you towards the correct service (mobile call‑out or programming).
Step 3 – Ownership checks (security-first)
Because keys are security-sensitive, we may request reasonable proof of ownership/authorisation and photo ID before supplying certain key products.
Step 4 – Payment and secure dispatch
Once confirmed, we’ll arrange payment and dispatch using appropriate delivery methods (tracked where applicable). We’ll communicate clearly so you know what’s being sent and what happens next.
Step 5: If programming is needed
Some keys and remotes require programming to work with your vehicle. If programming is required, we’ll tell you upfront and advise the best route (mobile service if you’re in Leicester/nearby, or guidance on the appropriate next step depending on your situation).
