How we cover the region
Hampshire, East Dorset And South Wiltshire, Done Properly
Our patch is Hampshire, East Dorset and South Wiltshire. That boundary is deliberate: every job is done at the car, so we only take on work we can reach and finish properly. Further afield, a locksmith closer to you will always be the better choice, and we'll say so.
Within that area, everything is booked rather than run as instant callouts. Most key work is booked for the same day, though not the same hour, and lockouts are fitted in between booked work, usually the same day. Towns on the edges, such as Salisbury, Christchurch and Waterlooville, are covered on exactly the same terms, with a real time given on the call.
Local pages
Every Town Has Its Own Page
Each of our town and area pages covers what's actually different about that place: the postcodes, the car parks and situations we're called to, and the vehicles we see most there. Along the coast, there's Havant, Gosport, Lymington and New Milton. On the Waterside and around Southampton, see Totton, Hythe and Dibden Purlieu, Netley and Hamble and Locks Heath and Warsash. Inland, there's Hedge End, Bishop's Waltham, Ringwood and Salisbury, with the wider New Forest on its own page.

Transit Custom Ignition Repair.
"I cannot recommend Alec enough. My transit custom lock was not turning. I did not know Alec at this point and called another locksmith. To cut a long story short the other locksmith attempted a repair and then gave up, leaving me with a van I could no longer use. I called Alec who came out next day; he repaired the damage done by the other locksmith and custom made a replacement ignition barrel so one key still does the doors and the new ignition. I couldn't be more pleased. Price was very fair too!"
Sam chapman
"Did the work at a 3rd of the price of the dealership and I'm sure to a higher quality, the work was quick and professional. Could not recommend more!"
Can work on most cars! Pricing is very reasonable! Fast reliable service!
"Absolutely spot on! After ringing about 15 different companies who said they couldn't help and one company even saying the series of my car doesn't exist I found smarttech who I contacted who could finally help! The next day he came out and I now have access and a new key to my car! Fast and efficient polite service! Highly recommend!!"
