Car Lockout Service in Chatham
Chatham has steep terraced streets, busy multi storey car parks and a campus full of students at Chatham Maritime. Shutting the keys in the car is easy to do in any of them. Our auto locksmith team comes to your location, opens the vehicle without damage and makes sure the locks work properly before we leave.
No Forced Entry
Our locksmiths use non destructive entry tools built for modern vehicles. There is no smashed glass, no bent door frame and no damage to the locks. After opening the car, the locksmith checks the central locking and every door lock and tells you about any issues.
If the car will not open because of a fault, such as a failed fob, a jammed lock or a central locking problem, our locksmith diagnoses it and explains the repair and the cost before carrying out any work.

Car Key Replacement in Chatham
Car keys go missing in all sorts of places, from a night out in the town centre to a walk along the river. Our car key replacement service means you do not need to tow the vehicle to a dealer. Our locksmith cuts a new key to the car code, programmes it to the immobiliser and tests it in the ignition and every lock.
Removing Lost Keys
Where the vehicle allows it, we remove the lost keys from the car system so they can no longer start the engine. If your keys were stolen, report it to the police and keep the crime reference for your insurer. Our team will tell you the cost of the replacement keys before any work begins.
Replacement Keys for Most Models
Our locksmiths carry key blanks, cutting machines and programming tools for a wide range of vehicle models sold in the UK, so most car key replacement jobs in Chatham are finished in one visit.

Spare Keys and Key Cutting in Chatham
Living with one key works until the day it disappears. A spare key costs far less than a full replacement, and our locksmith can cut and programme one at your home or workplace in Chatham.
We copy standard keys, transponder keys, flip keys and remote keys for most vehicles. Every spare key is tested in your car before we hand it over. If your key cannot be copied at your location, our team will tell you before we travel.
Remote Fobs and Smart Keys in Chatham
Remote fobs and smart keys can be expensive through a dealer, with a wait for the part on top. Our locksmiths carry fobs and smart key units for many popular vehicles and programme them on site. We can also copy a working fob so a second driver has their own remote.
Fob Repairs
Many fob problems are easy to fix. A flat battery, a broken case or a remote that has lost its pairing with the vehicle can all stop it working. Our locksmith tests the fob and repairs it where possible, so you only pay for a new one when it is truly needed.
Transponder and Keyless Key Programming in Chatham
Modern keys contain a transponder chip that the vehicle must recognise before the engine will start. If the immobiliser stops recognising the chip, the key will turn but nothing happens. Our technicians connect diagnostic equipment to the vehicle, read the fault and programme transponder keys, remote keys and keyless entry keys at your location.
Programming After Other Repairs
If your engine control unit or immobiliser has been replaced by a garage, the keys will need pairing to the new part. Our locksmiths can do this on site, so you do not need to take the vehicle to a dealer to finish the job.

Van Lock Installation in Chatham
Tradespeople across Chatham and Medway rely on their vans and the tools inside them. Standard van locks are a common weak point, and a break in can cost far more than the price of better locks. Our van lock installation service fits extra security to side doors, rear doors and cab doors.
Slam Locks and Deadlocks
Slam locks secure the door automatically as it closes, which suits drivers making regular drops. Deadlocks add an independent locking point that resists peeling and lever attacks. Our locksmith fits both on site and also carries out lock repairs and lock replacements on vans with worn locks.
Ignition Repair and Broken Keys in Chatham
A worn ignition barrel can make the key stiff, stop it turning or let it spin without starting the engine. Our auto locksmiths repair or replace the ignition barrel at your location, then cut and programme a key that works both the ignition and the door locks.
Broken Key Extraction
If a key snaps in a lock or the ignition, leave the broken piece in place. Our locksmith removes it with specialist extraction tools and cuts a replacement key straight away.
