Car Locksmith in Sherborne and the DT9 Villages
A car locksmith in Sherborne and the DT9 villages carries the key cutter, the blanks and the coding tools in the van, so a locked car, a lost key or a remote that has died is sorted where the car stands. Google Maps times the drive from the DB Car Keys base on High Street, Honiton at 61 minutes for 42.5 miles, most of it on the A303. Most Sherborne calls can be reached in 65 to 85 minutes, and the arrival time is confirmed on the phone.
The A30 runs through the town towards Yeovil, 5.9 miles west, and Milborne Port, 2.8 miles east, while Pound Road leads south to Thornford and Yetminster. Lockouts come mostly from the Hound Street and Digby Road car parks, the station car park and the streets around Cheap Street, while spare keys are cut on drives across the town and in the villages, and van keys are coded for the farms and trades around DT9.
When the last key is lost in Sherborne, mobile car key replacement is done beside the car, and the missing key is taken out of the car memory so it can no longer start the engine. In Sherborne, the price for mobile lost car key replacement is fixed on the phone.
The Sherborne price is fixed before the van leaves, with no call out fee and no charge for the miles. The cutter, the blanks and the coding kit are all in the van, so the work is done in one visit.
Ownership is checked before any key is cut, so having these five things ready saves time at the car in Sherborne.

Locksmith in Sherborne for Every DT9 Village
A locksmith in Sherborne for every DT9 village is wanted at any hour, and the six places below bring most of the car calls in and around the town.
Sherborne Town Centre Car Parks
The Hound Street and Digby Road car parks and the streets around Cheap Street bring most Sherborne lockouts, often a key left on a seat or dropped while shopping. Dean pulls up next to the car, and opening it in daylight costs £60 to £120.
Station Car Park and Station Road
The station car park off Station Road brings lockouts from commuters who come back to a locked car with the key inside, and lost keys found missing at the end of the day.
Milborne Port on the A30
Milborne Port is 2.8 miles and 7 minutes east of Sherborne on the A30, and it brings spare keys, remote repairs and lockouts outside the houses and on the high street.
Thornford and Yetminster
Thornford is 4.3 miles and 10 minutes south on Pound Road, and Yetminster 6.5 miles and 16 minutes away, so spare keys, coding and the odd lockout are done on drives in both villages.
Bishops Caundle and the A3030
Bishops Caundle lies 6.1 miles and 13 minutes south east of Sherborne on the A3030, with the farms and lanes around it bringing van keys, farm yard lockouts and lost keys.
The A30 Towards Yeovil
The A30 west of Sherborne leads to Yeovil, 5.9 miles and 15 minutes away, and lay bys and garages along it bring breakdowns where the car will not start on its own key.
Vehicle Locksmith in Sherborne or a Main Dealer
A vehicle locksmith in Sherborne, a main dealer and a breakdown patrol differ in where the key gets made, how long the car is off the road and what it costs.
| What the driver needs | DB Car Keys | Main dealer | Breakdown cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Key made at the car in Sherborne | Every job | Car towed to the workshop | Usually |
| Price agreed before any work | Fixed on the call | Quoted after inspection | Set by the policy |
| Help at night and on bank holidays | Yes, every day | Shop hours | If the cover includes it |
| Every key lost | New key made at the car | Yes, at dealer prices | Rarely included |
| Spare remote for a Ford or Vauxhall | £80 to £180 | £150 to £350 | Not offered |
| Lockout opened with no damage | On every lockout | Not a dealer service | Varies by patrol |
| Remote coded at the roadside | Yes, from the van | In the workshop | Seldom |
A Sherborne driver with breakdown cover can check whether the policy pays for lockouts and lost keys, then set the patrol wait against the 65 to 85 minutes DB Car Keys needs. A dealer codes keys only in its workshop, which means a tow, days without the car and a larger bill.
