What I do

Auto locksmith services, done right.

Every job done on-site, mobile, with the proper kit. No towing, no main-dealer wait, no scratched paintwork.

01

Non-destructive entry

Locked out? Keys in the boot? Snapped key in the door? I open the car without leaving a scratch — no broken windows, no damaged trim.

02

Lost or stolen keys

Full replacement keys cut and programmed on-site. Old key disabled so it can't be used by whoever's got it. You drive away with a fresh, secure set.

03

Spare keys

Don't wait until you lose one. A coded spare cut and programmed beats a panic call-out — for half the cost. All makes covered.

04

Key programming

Transponder chips, remote fobs, smart-key proximity systems. All synced to your vehicle ECU on-site, no main-dealer trip needed.

05

Worn key replacement

Key turning but not working? Buttons gone on the fob? Worn-down blade? Fresh cut, fresh chip, fresh case. Like new in 30 minutes.

06

ECU & immobiliser

Immobiliser chip reading, ECU diagnostics, key memory programming. The deep work most general locksmiths can't touch.

07

Remote key programming

Central locking remote not working? Replacement fobs sourced, cut and synced. Works with most makes from 1998 onwards.

08

Vans & commercial

Transit, Vivaro, Ducato, Sprinter — full van locksmith service. Lost keys, lockouts, dead-locks. Same on-site service as cars.

09

Key cutting (all makes)

Mechanical keys, laser-cut, flip keys, blade-only spares. Whatever pattern your vehicle uses, I'll have or source the right blank.

Vehicles worked on

Every make. Every model.

Standard cars, classics, motorhomes, vans — if it's got a key or a chip, I can sort it.

Check your vehicle
How it works

Four steps, no faff.

From the first phone call to driving away with new keys, the average job takes 60-90 minutes. Most of that's just my drive time getting to you.

Why me

A local locksmith. Not a call centre.

When you ring, you speak to me directly. Not a dispatcher in a different county. Not a national franchise sending whoever's free. Me, the person turning up at your car.

Local to the New Forest

Based locally, working locally, know the roads. Driving from Brockenhurst to Lymington in summer traffic? I've already planned the back route.

Insured & checked

Full public liability cover, DBS-checked, fully trained on modern automotive locking systems. Verifiable on request.

Fixed price, in writing

Quote given before I start. What I quote is what you pay. No "while I'm here" extras, no surprise late-night surcharge.

Day or night

3am school-run keys gone? Tuesday lunchtime lockout at the supermarket? I answer the same. 24/7 mobile service.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does it cost?
Depends on the vehicle and the job. A simple lockout starts from around £80. A full replacement key (cut + programmed + immobiliser sync) for most modern cars sits between £180-£280. I quote on the call before I leave — no hidden fees, no "while I'm here" extras.
How quickly can you get to me?
Average arrival is under 60 minutes for anywhere in the New Forest, Southampton or Bournemouth corridor. Bigger drives (Salisbury, Portsmouth, west Dorset) add 15-30 mins. Drop your postcode into the response-time tool above for a specific estimate.
Can you damage my car opening it?
No. All entries are non-destructive — no broken windows, no damaged door trim, no scratched paintwork. Proper auto-locksmith tools, not screwdriver-and-coat-hanger jobs.
Can you cut keys for any car?
Almost everything. Domestic and Euro brands (Ford, VW, BMW, Mercedes, Fiat, Peugeot, Renault, Vauxhall, Mini, etc.) plus most Japanese and Korean makes. A handful of brand-new high-end models still need a main dealer — if I can't do yours, I'll tell you straight on the phone before I drive out.
Do you do vans and motorhomes too?
Yes — Transit Custom, Vivaro, Sprinter, Ducato, Boxer, Master, Transporter. Motorhomes built on these chassis too. Dead-locks, slam locks, replacement keys, the lot.
What if you can't open my car?
No fix, no fee. If I can't get you in or sort the key, you don't pay. Hasn't happened yet but I won't charge for a job I can't complete.
Do you take card / contactless?
Yes. Card / contactless / Apple Pay / Google Pay, bank transfer, or cash. Receipt sent by email.
