Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you reach Newington?
Our mobile units operate across the CT postcode area with efficient dispatch from our Canterbury base. We prioritise emergency situations and aim to reach Newington and surrounding villages promptly during our operating hours.
Can you make a key if I’ve lost all copies?
Yes. Using your vehicle’s lock or ignition barrel, we can decode the necessary information to cut a new key. We then program the transponder or smart key system to recognise the new key and remove any lost keys from the immobiliser memory for security.
Is it cheaper than going to a main dealer?
Typically, yes. Our auto locksmith prices are competitive, and our mobile service eliminates recovery costs and waiting times. We provide transparent quotes before any work begins.
Do you work on vans and commercial vehicles?
Absolutely. Our van and commercial locksmith service covers popular models including Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter, VW Transporter, and Vauxhall Vivaro—essential for local businesses who can’t afford downtime.
What if my key fob stops working suddenly?
This often indicates a flat battery or failed circuit board. We carry replacement batteries and can repair or replace fob components on-site. If the issue is with the vehicle’s receiver, our diagnostics will identify the problem quickly.
