View service →Kensington runs from Kensington High Street and Holland Park down to Earls Court and the museums of South Kensington, with the Cromwell Road carrying traffic west towards the M4. Cars here are kept in mews, private garages, underground car parks and tightly controlled resident bays, and many are premium models with complex keys. When yours will not open or start, Authorised Auto Locksmith sends a mobile auto locksmith to it anywhere in W8, W14 and SW7.
We are a dedicated vehicle locksmith. Our technicians carry key cutting machines, dealer level programming tools and spare locks, so the work is done where the car is kept. We cover Kensington High Street, Holland Park, Earls Court, South Kensington, Notting Hill and Kensington Church Street, along with Chelsea, Fulham, Hammersmith, Knightsbridge and Bayswater.
No call out fee is charged. Phone 07984 684261 with the make, model and year and we give you a fixed price and a straight answer on timing.

Car Lockouts in Kensington
Kensington lockouts tend to happen in awkward places: a residents bay where a tow truck cannot easily reach, an underground garage beneath a mansion block, or a mews too narrow for a recovery vehicle. Keys get shut inside, smart keys go flat and doors lock themselves. Our technicians use entry tools suited to modern premium locks and treat every lockout as urgent.
If a lock has failed, that is fixed on the spot. Soft close doors, electric locks and central locking motors can all fail on high end cars. The locksmith works out which part has failed, opens the car and repairs or replaces the lock at a price agreed in advance.
Careful Entry for Premium Cars
Expensive paintwork and frameless windows need care. We never force doors or break glass, and the car is left exactly as we found it. If the key is lost rather than locked inside, we can make a new one on the same visit.
Door locks on premium cars are complex, and a door lock fault can leave the vehicle insecure. Our locksmiths repair door locks, soft close locks and boot locks, and replace locks that cannot be repaired. The locksmith tests every door lock and the central locking before leaving, and our auto locksmiths carry lock parts for most vehicle types.

Car Key Replacement in Kensington
Dealer replacement keys for premium models can take weeks and need the car delivered. Our auto locksmiths cut and programme replacements at the car in Kensington, test them in each lock and hand them over before leaving.
All Keys Lost
The locksmith decodes the lock, cuts a new blade where one is fitted and programmes a new key to the immobiliser. Where the car supports it, the lost keys are erased so they cannot start the engine, which matters on streets where high value cars are a target.
Damaged Smart Keys
Smart keys suffer cracked cases, failed buttons and water damage. We can often rebuild the key in a new case, or supply and programme a new one if the electronics have failed.
Car key replacement is an auto locksmith service we provide across Kensington for most premium and everyday vehicles. The auto locksmith cuts and programmes the key, tests it in each lock, and the service is complete in one visit. Our auto locksmith services include car key replacement for smart keys, proximity keys and remote keys, and the auto locksmith service is priced before the locksmith travels.

Spare Car Keys in Kensington
Many premium cars leave the factory with two keys, and losing one leaves you exposed. A spare made while you still have a working key costs far less than an all keys lost job. We cut and code spares in the mews, garage or bay and test both keys before leaving.
We duplicate smart keys, proximity keys, remote keys, flip keys and transponder keys for Range Rover, Land Rover, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar, Lexus, Mini, Volkswagen, Volvo, Toyota and Ford, along with the hybrids used by drivers working the West End.
Whatever the issue with your keys, a car locksmith from our locksmiths can help. Our locksmith team serves locations across the UK south east, and each locksmith carries key blanks for cars sold in the UK. Ask the locksmith about spares for every driver, and use the quote form at the top of this page to request a quote.

Remote Fob Duplication in Kensington
A smart key that stops working is often just a battery or a lost pairing. We test the key, fit a battery or repair the case, and only replace it when the electronics have failed, coding the new key to the car on site.
Keys for Drivers and Staff
Households with a driver, a nanny or several family members using one car often need more than two keys. We clone the fob so each one locks, unlocks and arms the alarm, with the price confirmed on the phone and VAT shown on the invoice.
Fob repair and fob replacement are part of our auto locksmith service. The auto locksmith tests the fob, the vehicle and the locks, and the service gives you a working fob and peace of mind. Our auto locksmith services cover fobs for most vehicle makes.
Key Programming and Immobiliser Repair in Kensington
Modern premium cars rely on several control units talking to the key. If the engine will not start or a key not detected message appears, we connect diagnostic tools, read the fault and programme the key without the car leaving the street.
Keyless Entry and Start
Proximity keys need dealer level equipment to register or delete. We add replacement keyless keys and remove lost ones, so a missing key can no longer be used to open or start the car.
Vehicle security on high value cars depends on the keys, the locks and the immobiliser working together. Our auto locksmith checks each lock, programmes each key and confirms the security system recognises only your keys. Our locksmith services include security checks on request, and the locksmith gives security advice on any weak points.

Van Lock Installation in Kensington
Renovations on Kensington's period houses bring builders, decorators and specialist trades into the area, and their vans are often parked on the street with expensive tools inside. Factory locks are not enough. Our van locksmith services fit stronger locks to the side and rear doors outside the job or at your yard.
Deadlocks, Slam Locks and Lock Changes
Deadlocks add a separate bolt and slam locks secure the door as it closes. After a lost key or a break in, we rekey or replace the locks. We fit locks to the Mercedes Sprinter and Vito, Ford Transit Custom, Volkswagen Transporter, Vauxhall Vivaro and Renault Trafic.
Van security is a growing part of our locksmith services in Kensington. A locksmith checks each door and lock, recommends better locks and fits them in one visit. Our locksmiths carry van locks, door locks and security locks, and every lock is tested before the locksmith leaves.
Lock installation on vans uses techniques suited to each door, and our van lock installation work in Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill covers most van models. If there are problems with the doors or frames, we give you that information before any installation starts. We cannot guarantee every van can take every lock, but we will say so first, so you do not spend money on the wrong installation.

Ignition Repair and Broken Key Extraction in Kensington
On older cars with a conventional ignition, a key that sticks or a steering lock that will not release is a sign of a worn barrel. We repair or replace the ignition lock on site and cut a matching key.
Snapped Blades
A broken emergency blade or key stuck in a door lock can be removed with extraction tools without harming the lock, and a new blade is cut straight away.
Lock repairs on ignition locks, steering locks and door locks are routine for our locksmiths. The locksmith tries to repair the lock first and only replaces the lock when a repair is not possible, matching each lock to your key. Our locksmith services cover all types of vehicle lock.

Emergency Auto Locksmith in Kensington
Locked out near the Royal Albert Hall after a concert, stuck in a hotel car park off the Cromwell Road or stranded at Olympia late in the evening? Emergency calls are prioritised and passed to the nearest technician with the right equipment for your car.
A recovery truck cannot always get into a mews or an underground car park, and it cannot make a key. We open the car, programme a key and get you moving, at a price agreed on the phone.
Emergency locksmith jobs get the same locksmith service as booked work. The locksmith confirms the cost and arrival time, brings locks, keys and entry tools, and finds solutions for jammed locks, broken locks and lockouts at your location.
