So — What Does a Car Lock Smith Do?
Whether you typed "car lock smith" or "car locksmith", these are the jobs someone like us handles. All done mobile, at your car.
Car Unlocking
Keys locked inside, fob battery died, or lost them at the beach. We open the car without damage — 5–15 minutes, all makes, no broken glass.

Basic keys, remote fobs, and smart proximity keys. Cut and programmed at your car. From £85 all in.
Key Programming
Already have a blank fob? We programme it to your car. From £40. Transpoder, remote, and smart keys.
Broken Key Extraction
Key snapped in the ignition or door? We extract it cleanly and cut a fresh blade. Don't try it yourself.
Ignition Repairs
Key won't turn, barrel seized, steering lock stuck. We repair or replace it at your car — 60–90 minutes.
You Typed "Car Lock Smith" — Here's What You Need to Know
About 500 people a month search "car lock smith" as two separate words. If that's how you got here, don't worry — it's the exact same trade, and you've found exactly the right people.
Is 'car lock smith' the same thing as a car locksmith?
Yes, exactly the same. 'Lock smith' is a common misspelling of 'locksmith' — the trade name literally comes from a smith who works on locks. Whether you type it as one word or two, the person you're looking for is an auto locksmith: someone who cuts and programmes car keys, unlocks vehicles, and repairs car locks and ignitions.
Should I call a car lock smith or a main dealer?
A main dealer can do the work, but they'll charge more (usually £250–£500 for a single key), they need you to get the car to them (impossible if you've lost your only key), and they often need to order the key blank which takes days. A 'car lock smith' — a mobile auto locksmith — comes to your car, carries the key blanks and programming kit, and does it all on the spot. Typically half the dealer price and same day.

We are — fully insured, DBS checked, and all work is guaranteed. We've done thousands of jobs across North Yorkshire. Check our blog for real recent jobs with photos and locations.
