The High Street, The Palace And The Pond
*Locked out by the pond, lost a key on a walk round the palace ruins, or a newer Jaguar that won't take a key? SmartTech Auto Locksmiths covers the village and the lanes around it as your auto locksmith in Bishop's Waltham.*
Google rating: 5 stars • Checkatrade: 10/10 • Lockouts from £95 • Keys covered twelve months
Most Bishop's Waltham calls come from a handful of familiar spots.
The High Street and the village car parks bring most locked keys in car calls in Bishop's Waltham, a fob left on the seat while nipping into a shop. Walkers round the palace ruins and the lanes beyond lose keys in the grass, and auto locksmiths in Bishop's Waltham end up making a lot of replacements at the roadside. And the bigger houses on the village edges mean a fair few premium and keyless cars, which are worth getting a spare for long before anything goes wrong.

Can We Get To Bishop's Waltham Today?
Usually. As car locksmiths in Bishop's Waltham, we book key jobs into the same day where we can and tell you on the phone roughly when we'll arrive, so you're not left guessing.
Being a mobile auto locksmith in Bishop's Waltham, we fit lockouts between booked jobs rather than running instant callouts, and nearly all are finished that day. You can reach us from 8am until 10pm through the week and 10am until 6pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Auto Locksmith Services In Bishop's Waltham
Village or lane, the auto locksmith services in Bishop's Waltham that we provide all take place beside the car.
Lost Or Locked In
With no key left, the lock supplies the cuts, the blade is cut and a new chip coded, and the old key is cleared from memory wherever the car allows: car key replacement. Fixing locked keys in car in Bishop's Waltham is £95 upwards and leaves no damage: keys locked in car.
Ignitions, Spares And Repairs
Stiffness in the ignition generally comes down to a worn barrel, rebuilt or swapped right where the car is parked: ignition repair. A copy made while one key still works costs far less than starting over: spare car keys. And a split case or worn buttons can often be mended: car key repair.
Coverage
SO32, Swanmore And The Surrounding Villages
The whole of SO32 is covered, village and countryside alike.
Bishop's Waltham And Waltham Chase
The village itself and Waltham Chase to the south make up the heart of it, mostly driveway jobs, spares and the occasional lockout on the High Street.

Our work
Real keys. Real driveways.

Two Jobs, Both At The Car
Every new key is a blade and a chip, and we sort both on the spot.
With nothing to copy, the cuts come off the lock and the blade is machined on board. The chip is then taught to the immobiliser and the remote and keyless functions set up, all checked with you there before we go.
Your car. Your location. A clear next step.

Costs And Ratings
Lockouts start at £95. Anything else is priced by phone once we have the reg, and you pay only when it's done.
Price rests on the kind of key, the way the car accepts a replacement, and whether you've held on to a working one. Find more to do at the car and we'll quote the extra before touching it so there are never surprises on the bill. A twelve-month guarantee covers every key. Checkatrade scores us 10/10 and Google gives us 5 stars, across upwards of 450 reviews. Logbook and photo ID get checked before any cutting.

Your questions
Bishop's Waltham Auto Locksmith Questions
Can you make a key for a newer Jaguar?
Often, yes. Older Jaguars share a lot with Fords and are straightforward. Newer generations get progressively more involved, and on the very latest the security module may have to be replaced along with new keys rather than a single key added. We'll tell you from the registration exactly what yours needs before we travel.
How do you open a locked car without damaging it?
Car door unlocking in Bishop's Waltham relies on tools matched to each make's lock, so there's no forcing and the bodywork, glass and seals finish as they started. From £95, it's usually done the same day around booked work, with the locking and alarm behaving exactly as before.
Do you cover Swanmore and Durley?
Yes, both, along with Upham, Curdridge, Shedfield and Waltham Chase. Keys get made at the car anywhere in SO32, so towing to a garage never comes into it. Pass us the registration and the address, and we'll give you a time.
Can you come out straight away?
Not on the instant. Booked jobs come first and lockouts fit in between, which for most people still means the same day. We'd rather give you a time we'll keep than over-promise. If anyone, or any animal, is shut in a hot car, phone 999 immediately.
What customers say
450+ five-star / 10-out-of-10 reviews across Google and Checkatrade
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!!"
