Updated on 2nd August 2023 - This locksmith has left Kuwait
I lost my car key and unfortunately didn't have any spare key after a desperate search finally started searching for duplicate key maker. I looked in Jarida and started calling couple of them mostly arabs and sounded like syrians asking in the range of KD 30 to KD 40. ( Found out the locals call the car key as Switch ). Expensive Car's like Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, Opel, Porsche, Prado, Honda, Audi, Volvo, higher the price.
Then I got a number of an Asian Key Maker named Faheem locksmith from my local garage and was asking for KD 25 residing in Salmiya and he explained me the whole process. After slight negotiation I agreed.
Found out he is expert in all types of Locks. You can contact this locksmith on 99xxxxxx
1) First the locksmith used his tools to unlock the car.
2) Removed the lock from the car.
3) Started making a key for the car lock manually on the spot as he carried all his tools in the car.
4) Once a manual working key is made to lock and unlock the doors, he made a moulded key one with a built in IC (Integrated Chip) for able to Switch On the ignition with the automatic key making machine he was carrying alongwith him.
Key is in process of getting programmed for sync with the ignition. It's always better to have a spare key instead of losing the peace of mind and money.
