Our approach

Opened without breaking anything

A car lockout in a shopping centre parking lot or on the side of the M1 is not the moment for a coat hanger and a hopeful shove. Modern door cards, airbag wiring and frameless glass are expensive to get wrong.

We open vehicles with proper automotive tools, which means the door, the lock, the trim and the glass are all still in one piece afterwards. Boot lockouts where the spare key is inside the boot are one of the most common calls we take, and they are usually a quick job.

We also repair and replace faulty ignitions — the jammed barrel, the key that spins without catching, the steering lock that has seized. That work happens on site so the car does not need to be towed anywhere.

Questions

Common questions about this service

It should not. We use automotive-specific tools rather than improvised ones, which is the whole reason to call a locksmith instead of trying it yourself. If a vehicle presents a genuine risk of damage we will tell you before we start.
No. We do not do car key cutting, coding or programming, and we do not supply spare or replacement keys. Our automotive work is lockouts, door and boot opening, and ignition repair or replacement. For a new key you will need your dealership or a specialist auto key service.
Identification and reasonable proof the vehicle is yours or that you are authorised to access it — a licence disc, registration papers or similar. It is standard practice for any legitimate locksmith.
