Shops, Shore And School Runs
A few situations bring most of our calls round here.
The Locks Heath Shops
The district centre car park sees its share of lockouts, keys put down in the boot with the shopping and the lid closed on them, or left on the passenger seat, and locked keys in car in Locks Heath are something we sort right there in the car park.
Warsash Shore And The Hamble River
Walkers and sailors at Warsash lose keys on the shingle or over the side, and a key that's been in salt water rarely works for long afterwards. A mobile auto locksmith in Locks Heath and Warsash makes the new key at the car, so nobody's stranded at the water's edge.

Citroëns, Peugeots And Vauxhalls
Locks Heath and Warsash have plenty of French cars, and some of their keys are a test of skill.
Older Citroën Keys
Some older Citroën and Peugeot keys use a blade profile that's notoriously fussy to cut accurately, and plenty of locksmiths give up on them. Getting one perfect can take several blanks, but we keep at it until the key glides in the locks like the original once did.
Why A 2018-On Vauxhall Is Really A Peugeot
Vauxhalls built from around 2018 share their underpinnings with Peugeot and Citroën, so their keys follow the same rules: a security PIN bought from the manufacturer with your logbook and ID, the right chip type, and the battery supported while we program. Older Chevrolets are Vauxhalls with a different badge. As a vehicle locksmith in Locks Heath, we handle all of them at the car.

Prices You Can Plan Around
£95 opens a locked car. Other jobs get a phone quote off your reg, and nothing's paid until the work is complete.
Price depends on the sort of key, the way the immobiliser learns a newcomer, and whether one of your keys still works. Discover more work at the car and you get the revised figure first. The bigger jobs need an in-person diagnosis, which carries a call-out charge for finding the real cause. Keys carry a twelve-month guarantee, and over 450 customers have rated us 10/10 on Checkatrade and 5 stars on Google. We'll want to see the logbook and photo ID before any cutting.

Your questions
Locks Heath And Warsash Auto Locksmith Questions
Can you cut an awkward old Citroën key?
Yes. Some older Citroën and Peugeot keys have a blade profile that's famously hard to cut accurately, and other locksmiths often turn them away. It can take several blanks to get exactly right, but we stay with it until the key turns sweetly in every lock, and it's all done at your car.
Does car door unlocking in Locks Heath mark the car?
No. Car door unlocking in Locks Heath is done with tools made for each lock, so nothing is wedged into the door and the bodywork, glass and seals stay perfect. It costs from £95, usually same day around other bookings, with the alarm and central locking unaffected.
Do you cover Warsash, Sarisbury and Park Gate?
Yes, along with Hook, Titchfield Common and the rest of SO31. Keys are made at the car wherever you're parked, so there's no recovery and no garage visit needed. Give us the registration and the road name, and we'll book a time that works.
Can you come straight out?
Not on the spot. Booked work comes first, with lockouts fitted around it, and for most people that still means the same day. A realistic time is better than an empty promise. A child or animal locked in a hot car calls for 999, before anything else.

How We Make The Key
Blade from the lock, chip coded to the car, all at the kerb.
With no original, we work out the cuts from the lock and machine the blade in the van, laser profiles and smart-key emergency blades included. The car's immobiliser then learns the new chip, and the buttons and any keyless entry are tested while you watch.
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!!"
