Where we work
Vans Working The M3 And M27 Corridor
At the van, same day for most • Old blue-button Transit fobs held in stock • Keys guaranteed 12 months • 450+ reviews
Eastleigh sits where the M3 meets the M27, and the vans parked around it are working vans: builders, sparks, plumbers and delivery drivers who can't afford a day off the road.
As a van locksmith in Eastleigh, a lot of our van jobs are on new-build sites around Fair Oak and Botley, at trade counters off the A335, or on driveways in Chandler's Ford at 7am. Delivery vans on the Hedge End retail parks and contractors working along the motorway make up much of the rest. We come to wherever the van stopped, and if it's blocking a site entrance, we'll prioritise getting it moving.

Lost The Van Key? Can It Be Sorted Today?
For most vans, yes. Lost van keys in Eastleigh are replaced at the van on the day you call, no original needed, and the old key is cancelled so it can't start the van again.
We're on the phones until 10 each weekday evening, and from 10 to 6 at weekends.

Programming
Van Key Programming In Eastleigh: Blade, Chip, Remote
A new van key needs three things to work: a blade that fits, a chip the immobiliser trusts, and a remote that talks to the locks.
We decode the van's lock for the blade and cut it on our machine. Then van key programming in Eastleigh adds the new chip to the van's accepted keys, pairs the remote and, on most vans, removes the lost key from the list, which matters when the back is full of tools.
Pricing
How Much Are Replacement Van Keys?
We price replacement van keys in Eastleigh over the phone once we have the registration, before we travel. What changes the figure: the van itself, the style of key, and whether any key still works.
Copying a surviving key is the cheapest route; starting from nothing costs more. You pay once the key works, not before. Every price is given before anything is taken apart; if one symptom could be more than one fault, you hear each possible price on the phone first, then we confirm at the vehicle. Keys come with a 12-month guarantee.

FAQ
Van Owners Ask
Can lost van keys in Eastleigh be replaced on a building site?
Yes. As long as we can get the van safely, the whole job is done on site: lock decoded, blade cut, chip programmed and remote paired. Tell us the site address and any access rules, like gate codes or sign-in, when you call, so we can get straight to the van.
Are spare van keys in Eastleigh worth it for a second driver?
Almost always. Spare van keys in Eastleigh, cut from a key that already works, are a small fraction of what an all-keys-lost job costs, and each one is programmed separately, so if a driver loses theirs, only that key gets cancelled. Two drivers sharing one key is how most of our lost-van-key calls start.
What if my Transporter or Sprinter is a newer one?
We can still add spares at the van, but with every key lost, a Transporter or Sprinter from the 2018 changeover, or a Vito from mid-2013, can only be keyed by the dealer. Older ones we do at the van. Give us the registration and we'll confirm which side of the line yours sits.
What paperwork do you need for a sole trader's van?
If the van's in your name, the V5C and photo ID. If it's registered to your business, a letter on company headed paper authorising the key works. Lease vans need the leasing company's permission. Owners of 2019-on Vivaros will need the V5C regardless, because the security PIN is bought using it.

Vans we cover
Ford Transit Key Replacement In Eastleigh, And Other Vans
Ford Transit key replacement in Eastleigh covers every Transit up to 2023, the Custom and Connect included, plus the blue-button fob Ford no longer makes, which we keep in stock.
The Vivaro is keyed at the van for any year, with the manufacturer PIN on 2019-on models. With Trafics, the chip has to be exactly right, and we keep the battery supported while coding. 2019-on Partner and Berlingo vans need a PIN too, and they're prone to ignition trouble: see ignition repair in Eastleigh.

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!!"
