Locked out at 11pm near Heathrow. They were with me in 25 minutes, no damage, cheaper than the dealer quoted. Genuine lifesavers.

Non-Destructive Entry
What “No Damage Entry” Actually Means.
A lot of locksmiths advertise “damage-free” entry then turn up with a slim jim that bends the door frame, or an air wedge that creaks the seal. Our engineers are trained and equipped to MLA (Master Locksmiths Association) standards using modern, vehicle-specific tooling — the same tools used by AA, RAC and main-dealer mobile services.
- Decoders & pick guns matched to your lock cylinder — no levering
- Protected air wedges with felt edges — no paint scratches or seal creasing
- Long-reach manipulation tools — no glass contact, ever
- Specialist Tibbe, HU66, HU100, HU101 picks for European vehicles
- All work covered by £2,000,000 public liability insurance
What we will never do:
- ✗ Break a window to gain entry on a routine lockout
- ✗ Drill a working lock cylinder
- ✗ Use a slim jim on cars built after ~2005 (risk to airbag wiring)
- ✗ Charge a hidden “arrival” or “assessment” fee on top
- ✗ Start work before agreeing a fixed price with you
If at any point we determine damage-free entry isn't possible on your specific vehicle (extremely rare), we'll tell you before any work starts and walk through alternatives — you decide what happens next.

How quickly can you reach me in Reading?+
Average on-scene time of 30 minutes anywhere in RG1, RG2, RG30, RG31. We dispatch the nearest engineer the moment you call — no waiting for a national call-centre to route the job.
Do you charge extra for nights or weekends in Reading?+

We cover all-keys-lost scenarios — we'll cut a new key from your VIN, program it to your ECU, and deactivate the lost original. Completed on site, typically within 90 minutes.
My car won't start — is that something you fix?+

Are you genuinely 24/7 in Reading?+
