FAQ
Locksmith questions
- What documents do I need?
- Photo ID and the V5C (logbook) in the same name, or other proof we accept for that job. Full list is on the Automotive Security & Ownership Policy. Without documents we will not start security work.
- Do you come to Eastbourne and Coventry?
- Yes. Those are the two bases. We also cover surrounding Sussex and Midlands postcodes — check the live coverage map or call.
- Can you help if I'm locked out?
- Often, if the vehicle and situation are suitable and we can verify ownership. Call 07342 340449 with your location and vehicle details.
- Do you copy keys without the owner present?
- No. We do not cut or program keys for someone who cannot prove they are the keeper or have written authority.
- Is this the same as a house locksmith?
- No. This is vehicle keys, transponders and car entry only — not domestic or commercial building locks.
