View service →Plaistow sits between West Ham Park and the Barking Road, a grid of terraced streets around Plaistow station, Balaam Street and Greengate Street where almost every car lives at the kerb. The A13 and the A124 run along its edges, carrying vans and cabs towards the docks and the City. If your car or van will not unlock or start here, Authorised Auto Locksmith comes to it, anywhere in E13.
Every technician we send is a vehicle locksmith carrying a cutting machine, a programmer and a stock of locks, so nothing needs towing. Plaistow, West Ham, Upton Park, Canning Town and the streets around the park are all covered, along with East Ham, Stratford, Beckton and Forest Gate.
Calling out costs nothing. Ring 07984 684261, tell us the make, model and year, and you will hear a fixed price and a realistic time before anyone sets off.
Plaistow locksmith work for us means cars and vans only: lockouts, new keys, spare keys, fob repairs, door lock and ignition lock repairs, and better locks for vans. The locksmith arrives with locks, parts and blanks on board and runs through the choices and the cost with you first, so the locksmith service holds no surprises.
Locksmith services across east London are often aimed at houses and shops. Ours are not. Our locksmith services in Plaistow are built around the vehicle: door locks, lock cylinders, ignition systems, keys and security systems on cars and vans of every type and brand. Customers get a professional technician, a firm response time and a clear explanation of the problem before any repair begins, which is the way a locksmith service should work.
We are a mobile auto locksmith, so the workshop comes to your place rather than the other way round. Fast, reliable help starts with the right information: the process is simple, every step is explained, and you get a choice of options with the price for each. Good customer service, attention to detail and real expertise in vehicle locks mean quality results and good value, with your safety and the protection of your car put first.

Car Lockouts in Plaistow
On a Plaistow terrace the classic lockout is keys dropped into the boot while unloading, or a door that locks itself while you nip back indoors. Outside the station and along the Barking Road shops, flat fobs catch people out too. Whatever happened, the technician picks an entry tool made for your door and lock, and lockouts jump straight to the front of the day.
Locks fail as well as keys. Grit wears down door lock wafers, barrels stiffen and a central locking actuator can burn out without warning, and any of those can trap you outside. Our locksmith tracks down the faulty lock, gets the door open and fixes or swaps the lock for the figure you agreed.
Damage Free Opening
Expect no scratches, no bent frames and no broken windows. Your seals, paint and locks finish exactly as they started, and when the key is actually lost, the replacement is made during the same call out.
Door repair is a common follow on from a lockout. Our technicians replace worn door lock cylinders, repair door catches that will not release and fit replacements where a door lock is beyond repair. Every door is then tested with your key, the security of the vehicle is checked, and entry works smoothly again. The locksmith carries the tools and cylinders needed, so most door lock repair jobs are finished in a single visit.
Seeing your keys through a car window is frustrating, but breaking the window costs far more than calling us. Emergency locksmiths from our team gain access without damage. The logo at the top of this page and on our website confirms you have reached the right emergency locksmiths, and the logo is worth remembering.

Car Key Replacement in Plaistow
Dealers usually want the car delivered and a key ordered, which can mean a tow and a week of buses. We bring the workshop to you instead: the key is cut, programmed to the immobiliser and tried in every lock outside your door in Plaistow.
Starting From Scratch
With no key to copy, our locksmith reads the cut from the lock, makes a blade and pairs a brand new chip or remote. Most cars also let us wipe the missing keys from memory, so a stranger who finds them cannot drive off.
Keys That Are Falling Apart
Cases split, blades wear and buttons stop responding. Sometimes a new shell is all it takes; otherwise a fresh key is cut and paired. You choose once you know both prices.
Replacement car keys are the bread and butter of our locksmith service in E13. Each car key is cut and coded on site, then tried in the door locks, the boot lock and the ignition lock, and our locksmiths keep blanks for most cars sold in the UK.
Our locksmiths do not stop at the key. When the locksmiths finish a replacement, they test the locks on every door, the boot and the ignition, because worn locks can make a perfect key feel faulty. If any locks need work, the locksmiths explain the repairs and the service price first.

Spare Car Keys in Plaistow
Losing the only key is far dearer than copying it while it still works. We cut and pair a spare at your home or workplace, then try both keys in every door, the boot and the ignition so you know each one is good.
Spares we regularly make in E13 include keys for the Toyota Prius and Auris, Ford Galaxy and S Max, Vauxhall Zafira, Volkswagen Touran, Skoda Octavia, Kia Sedona, Hyundai i30, Nissan Note, Honda Civic, Peugeot 5008, Citroen C4 Picasso, Renault Scenic, Mercedes Vito and Ford Transit Connect.
Spare keys are a service our locksmiths can cut for most types and brands of car. The locksmiths check the locks as part of the service, and the service price is quoted before they travel.
Remote Fob Duplication in Plaistow
Before selling you a new remote, we find out why the old one stopped. Usually it is a tired battery, a cracked button or a fob that has forgotten the car, and that costs little to put right. Only a dead circuit board means a new fob, which is paired before we leave.
An Extra Fob for the Family
Plaistow households often share one car between several drivers. A cloned remote gives each of them full locking, boot release and alarm control, and we tell you the price for your model when you call, VAT included on the invoice.
Fob services from our locksmiths cover all types of remote. If the fob problem turns out to be the locks or the door actuators, the locksmiths will explain that too, and the service includes a full test of the locks and security.
Key Programming and Immobiliser Repair in Plaistow
Turning the key and hearing the starter spin without the engine catching is the classic sign of an immobiliser fault. We hook up diagnostic kit where the car is parked, see what the system is reporting and programme transponder, remote or keyless keys on the spot. Damaged aerial coils and scrambled key data are usually fixed there and then.
Push Button Cars
Cars that start with a button use proximity keys, and registering one takes dealer level equipment. We enrol the new key, cancel the lost ones and check the car will only answer to keys you hold.
Vehicle security systems tie the keys, the locks and the immobiliser together. Our locksmith services include a security check of each system, lock cylinder repairs and key programming, and our technicians explain any problem they find in plain words. Whatever type of security system your vehicle uses, the locksmith will tell you the best way to keep it protected.

Van Lock Installation in Plaistow
Being so close to the docks, the A13 and the Stratford retail parks, Plaistow is full of couriers and trades who park vans outside the house at night. Factory van locks rarely stop a determined thief. We fit tougher locks to the side and rear doors right there in the street.
Deadlocks, Slam Locks and Rekeys
Fitting a deadlock adds an independent bolt that holds when the standard lock is forced; a slam lock shuts automatically, which suits drivers making dozens of drops. When a van key goes missing, rekeying or changing the locks makes it useless. We work on the Ford Transit and Transit Custom, Mercedes Sprinter, Vauxhall Vivaro, Citroen Dispatch, Peugeot Expert and Volkswagen Crafter.
After a break in, our burglary repairs for vans cover forced door locks, damaged cylinders and bent catches. Our technicians repair what can be repaired, fit replacements where needed and add security upgrades so the same door is harder to attack next time. Business customers across east London use our locksmith services to protect tools and other property in their vans.
A lock change on a van after a lost key is one of the most practical security services we offer in Plaistow E13. Lock installation and lock change work are carried out at your location, business vans included, with solutions that suit each door and each driver. Entry to the van and the property inside stay protected once the new locks are in.
Each installation starts with a look at the door, the frame and the existing lock, and the installation price is fixed before any drilling. Van installation work from our company is tested on every door, and access for the driver stays simple once the installation is complete.
Vans we fit locks to around Plaistow include the Ford Transit, Ford Transit Custom, Ford Transit Connect, Ford Transit Courier, Mercedes Sprinter, Mercedes Vito, Mercedes Citan, Vauxhall Vivaro, Vauxhall Movano, Vauxhall Combo, Volkswagen Transporter, Volkswagen Crafter, Volkswagen Caddy, Renault Trafic, Renault Master, Renault Kangoo, Nissan NV200, Nissan Primastar, Citroen Relay, Citroen Dispatch, Citroen Berlingo, Peugeot Boxer, Peugeot Expert, Peugeot Partner, Fiat Ducato, Iveco Daily, Toyota Proace and Toyota Hiace.
Ignition Repair and Broken Key Extraction in Plaistow
Keys that need jiggling, ignitions that grind and steering locks that stay on all point to a worn barrel. Rather than send the car to a garage, our locksmith rebuilds or swaps the barrel at the kerb and cuts a key to match.
Snapped Key Stuck in the Lock
Put the pliers down if a key breaks off, as pulling at it usually drives it deeper. Our picks ease the fragment out, the lock is checked over and a working key is cut from the code.
Ignition and door lock repairs need the right cylinders and the right tools. Our technicians carry lock cylinders for the most common brands, repair ignition and door locks at the roadside, and fit replacements matched to your key when a repair will not last. Each repair is tested before the locksmith leaves.
