What We Do

Car Keys, Done At The Roadside

Everything the main dealer does, done where your car is standing, for a fraction of the price and without the wait. Plus full domestic locksmithing when you need it.

Spare Car Keys

A second key cut and programmed to your car while you wait. Far cheaper than the dealer and no booking weeks ahead.

All Keys Lost

No key at all, no problem. We generate a brand new key on site, code it to the immobiliser and get you driving. No tow needed.

Key Fobs & Remotes

Fob not locking the car? We repair, replace and reprogramme remotes, proximity keys and Renault key cards.

Broken & Snapped Keys

Key snapped in the door or the ignition. We extract the broken half without damage and cut you a fresh one there and then.

Keys Cut From The Lock

No original and no paperwork? We read the code straight out of your door lock and cut a working key from it.

Locked Out Of Your Car

Keys on the seat, or locked in the boot. We open the car without a mark on it, day or night, and you are on your way.

Ignition Repairs

Key stuck, won't turn, or spinning in the barrel. We repair or replace the ignition and key it to work off your existing key.

Home & Business Locks

Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door mechanisms, anti snap cylinders and burglary repairs across Kent and South East London.

Straight Answers

Questions We Get Every Day

How much is a replacement car key?

It depends on the car and the type of key, which is why we price it on the phone rather than pretending one number fits everything. Tell us the make, model and year and you get a fixed price before we set off. What we can tell you is that it is consistently well below main dealer rates, and there is no recovery truck to pay for on top.

I have lost every key. Can you still help?

Yes, and it is one of the jobs we do most. We generate a brand new key from scratch, cut it to your locks and code it to the immobiliser at the roadside. Your car does not move and you do not need recovery. Have your ID and proof the car is yours ready for the engineer, and we handle the rest.

Do I need to get the car to you?

No. The van comes to the car, wherever it is sitting. Driveway, roadside, work car park, supermarket or a locked compound if you can get us access. Everything we need to cut and programme the key is in the van.

How quickly can you actually get to me?

We reach 99.7% of call outs inside the hour. Traffic and distance move that a little at either end of the county, but you will be given a realistic time when you call, not an optimistic one.

Can you cut a key without the original?

We can. We read the code directly out of your door lock and cut a working key from that, so no original and no paperwork from the dealer is needed.

Do you only do car keys?

Car keys are the bulk of what we do but we are full locksmiths. Lockouts, lock changes, uPVC door mechanisms, anti snap cylinders, burglary repairs and security upgrades for homes and businesses are all part of the service.

Are you insured and accredited?

Fully insured, trusted and vetted by the UK Locksmiths Association and approved on TrustATrader. Twenty years in the trade and Locksmith Of The Year 2026 at the Prestige Awards behind it.
