Auto Locksmith in Dorchester, County Town of Dorset
DB Car Keys works as a mobile auto locksmith in Dorchester, at the place the car is parked, 24 hours a day. Locked cars are opened, replacement keys are cut and programmed and immobiliser faults are found at the roadside, on a drive or in a car park, with the tools carried in the van.
By Dean, founder of DB Car Keys and mobile auto locksmith since 2009. Updated October 2026
I am Dean, and I pass through Dorchester often on the way between Weymouth, Bridport and the east Dorset towns, so most Dorchester callouts can be reached in 65 to 85 minutes. My base in Honiton is 37 miles from Dorchester by the A35, and a callout that starts from base takes about 60 minutes. Dorchester is the county town of Dorset and sits at the junction of the A35, the A37 and the A352.
The Charles Street and Acland Road car parks are regular lockout locations, along with the car parks at Dorset County Hospital. Non destructive entry opens a locked car in a Dorchester car park for £60 to £150, and the car is left with no marks. The van brings the kit for emergency car unlocking on the street to the car in Dorchester.
Dorset County Hospital on Williams Avenue is one of the most frequent single callout locations in my Dorset round. Lost car keys in Dorchester are replaced at your location, with no tow truck and no dealer wait, and key programming on site covers almost every make on the road. Poundbury, on the western edge of the town, brings its own residential and commercial callouts.
I cover the rural DT2 area as well, from Charminster and Puddletown to Bere Regis and the Winterborne villages. Weymouth is 9 miles south, Bridport is 15 miles west and Puddletown is 5 miles east. Drivers with breakdown cover often get a faster answer from me on a key problem, so call and compare both arrival times.

Covering All of Dorchester, 6 Areas and 5 Postcode Districts
I am covering all of Dorchester across 6 areas and 5 postcode districts, from DT1 in the town to DT2 in the villages around it. Dorchester is a compact county town with a major road junction, a shopping centre and a large hospital, and DT2 takes in a wide rural area of downland and farms. The 6 areas below are where I work most often.
Dorchester Town Centre and Car Parks
Dorchester town centre and car parks at Charles Street and Acland Road are the main lockout spots, with 284 spaces at Acland Road alone. South Street, Cornhill and the pedestrian shopping streets draw shoppers from across Dorset. I know the one way system and reach every town centre car park quickly.
Dorset County Hospital
Dorset County Hospital on Williams Avenue is one of my most regular Dorchester callout locations. Lockouts happen here often, after a long shift or a rushed arrival. A hospital callout takes priority, and I reach the site as fast as the roads allow.
Poundbury and West Dorchester
Poundbury and west Dorchester bring residential and commercial callouts, from the Poundbury streets to Halfacre Lane and the business units around Peverell Avenue West. The area has grown year on year and now brings a steady flow of work of its own.
Charminster and North Dorchester
Charminster and north Dorchester follow the A37 towards Yeovil, along with Bradford Peverell and the rural DT2 villages. Spare car keys cut and programmed at your location cost £80 to £220 here, and most jobs are spare keys and programming. The A37 also brings lockouts from drivers on a journey between towns. Drivers in Dorchester book spare car keys cut on site with one call to 07830249408.
Puddletown and East Dorset Villages
Puddletown and east Dorset villages along the A35 are covered, with Puddletown 5 miles from Dorchester. The round takes in Tolpuddle and Bere Regis, and the jobs are mostly lockouts and spare keys for residents.
Weymouth Road and A354 Corridor
Weymouth Road and the A354 corridor run south from Dorchester through Ridgeway, Upwey and Broadwey, all inside my coverage. The corridor brings lockouts from through traffic and jobs at homes along the road. Weymouth is 9 miles from Dorchester.
