An auto locksmith in Dorset is a mobile car key specialist who opens, cuts, codes and repairs car keys at the car, and DB Car Keys brings that van into Dorset 24 hours a day from High Street, Honiton, 23 minutes from Lyme Regis. Dean answers 07830249408 himself, gives the price on the call and can be with a car in Lyme Regis in 25 to 40 minutes.

Mobile Auto Locksmith in Dorset Working at the Car

The van carries key blanks, remote cases, a key cutting machine and diagnostic programmers, so most Dorset jobs are finished beside the car in one visit, on a seafront car park, a farm track or a home drive.

With no key left, lost car keys in Dorset cost £150 to £220 to replace on a Ford or Vauxhall and £250 to £400 on a BMW, Audi or Mercedes, and the missing key is wiped from the car so it can no longer start it.

Dean checks the V5C or the insurance certificate against photo ID before a key is made, which keeps keys in the hands of owners and named drivers.

Emergency Car Unlocking in Dorset at Any Hour

Emergency car unlocking in Dorset costs £60 to £120 by day and up to £150 overnight, and most models open in under 10 minutes once Dean is at the car.

Keys locked in a car at a seafront or beach car park, keys left in the ignition and a remote that will not open the doors are common lockouts, and the lock, door seal and paint are left as they were.

Dorset Postcodes Covered From Lyme Regis to Portland

DB Car Keys covers the DT postcodes from DT7 at Lyme Regis and DT6 at Bridport to DT1 and DT2 around Dorchester, DT3 and DT4 at Weymouth, DT5 on Portland and DT9 at Sherborne.

Each of these places belongs to one of the six Dorset town pages below, and the exact arrival time is given on the call because A35 traffic changes the drive.

What Dorset Drivers Check Before Choosing a Locksmith

Dorset drivers comparing locksmiths usually weigh a main dealer against a mobile locksmith, ask how a car locksmith differs from a house locksmith, check the make and read the reviews, and the parts below answer each one.

Main Dealer and Mobile Locksmith Compared in Dorset

Main dealer

  • The car has to reach the dealer workshop, on a tow truck if no key works.
  • A new key is ordered in and can take several days.
  • The workshop works office hours and shuts on bank holidays.
  • No roadside help for a car locked with the key inside.

DB Car Keys

  • Dean drives to the car at home, at work, on the roadside or in a car park.
  • Most keys are cut and coded on the same visit.
  • Calls are answered 24 hours a day, every day.
  • Most locked cars open in under 10 minutes.

Car Locksmith and House Locksmith Compared in Dorset

Many Dorset locksmiths fit house locks, uPVC door parts and van deadlocks as well as car keys, while DB Car Keys works on keys for cars, vans, farm vehicles and classic cars only.

That focus means the van carries car key blanks and coding equipment rather than door cylinders, and house locks are not covered.

Holiday Lockouts on the Dorset Coast

Visitors to Lyme Regis, West Bay, Weymouth and Portland lose keys on the beach or lock them in the car at a seafront car park, and a lost key away from home is replaced at the car the same way as for a local driver.

Hire cars and lease cars belong to the hire or lease company, so the driver gets agreement from that company before Dean makes a key.

Rural Dorset Lanes and Farm Callouts

Farm vehicles, Land Rovers and vans on rural Dorset lanes are covered, and a location pin sent on WhatsApp helps Dean find a car away from a road name.

The drive to a remote lane takes longer than to a town, so the arrival time is given on the call.

Car and Van Makes Keyed Across Dorset

Keys and programming are carried for the makes most driven in Dorset, from small hatchbacks to farm Land Rovers and vans.

Ford Vauxhall Peugeot Citroen Fiat Hyundai Kia Honda BMW Audi Volkswagen Mercedes Toyota Nissan Land Rover Renault

Vans, farm vehicles and classic cars are covered.   House keys and motorcycle keys are not part of the work.

The make, model and year given on 07830249408 are enough to confirm the key.

Google Reviews From Drivers Across Dorset

DB Car Keys holds 101 Google reviews with a 5.0 rating, and two of them read as follows.

Google review, five stars
