We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes in Westering
Westering is built around families and schools, and the traffic here moves in two big waves a day. That is when most of our calls come in, because a car that will not open at half past seven in the morning turns into a real problem very quickly.
The rest come from driveways. Cars parked outside overnight, remotes that stop working in the cold, and second cars that have run on a single key since the day they were bought.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where you are. Your driveway, the pavement outside a school, a bay off Kabega Road, or your own front door. The cutting machine and the programming equipment travel in the van, so it gets finished in one visit.
Losing every key you own is still a same visit job. Lost car key replacement means we read the code off your car, cut a fresh key on the spot and program it so the engine starts. Chip keys get coded to the immobiliser through our transponder programming, done in the van while you wait.
Locking keys inside a running car happens more often than anybody admits, usually in a school queue with somebody hooting behind you. We open the car without marking it and you carry on with your morning.
House locks are the other half. Front, back, garage and gate usually means more keys than anybody wants to carry. We can key several alike so one key runs the lot, and we change locks when somebody moves in.
If a car in your household has one key and no spare, that is the job worth booking. A spare car key costs a fraction of an emergency call out on a school morning.
Where we get called out in Westering
The school run gives us the busiest windows, morning and afternoon. Keys locked in cars, often with the engine still running.
Driveways bring the early calls. Flat remotes and cars that will not open when somebody is already late.
Kabega Road gives us the roadside work, mostly boots closed with the keys inside.
Then the doors. Lock changes after a move, and worn keys that snap in the barrel.
