Car Locksmith in Teignmouth and the Teign Estuary
A car locksmith in Teignmouth and the Teign estuary is only useful with the tools on board, so the DB Car Keys van carries the key cutter, blank keys and the coding equipment for lockouts, lost keys and remotes that have failed. Google Maps times the 29 mile drive from High Street, Honiton at 33 minutes. Most Teignmouth calls can be reached in 35 to 50 minutes, and the arrival time is given when you ring.
The A379 runs along the coast through the town, north to Holcombe and Dawlish and south over the bridge to Shaldon, while the A381 follows the estuary west to Bishopsteignton and Kingsteignton. Lockouts come mostly from the Eastcliff car park on Dawlish Road, the Brook Street and Quay Road car parks and the seafront, and spare keys are cut on drives through TQ14.
If the last key is lost in Teignmouth, mobile car key replacement is done at the car, and the lost key is deleted from the car memory so it can never start the engine again. Dean carries out car key replacement when keys are lost at the car anywhere in Teignmouth.
The price is set before the van leaves Honiton, with nothing extra for the call out or the miles, and because the cutter, the blanks and the coding kit are in the van, one visit sees the job through.
A key is only cut once ownership is checked, so these five things save time at the car in Teignmouth.

Teignmouth Locksmith for the Seafront, Shaldon and TQ14
Teignmouth locksmith calls from the seafront, Shaldon and the rest of TQ14 come in day and night, and the six places below bring most of them.
Eastcliff and the Seafront
The Eastcliff car park on Dawlish Road and the parking along the seafront bring the most Teignmouth lockouts, usually a key left in the car or lost on the sand. Dean pulls up next to the car, and a daytime opening costs £60 to £120.
Brook Street, Quay Road and the Town Centre
The Brook Street and Quay Road car parks and the streets around the shops bring lockouts and remote faults all year, and keys go missing between the car and the town.
Shaldon Over the Bridge
Shaldon is 1.1 miles and 4 minutes from Teignmouth over the bridge on the A379, and the King George V car park by the bridge and the Ness car park both see lockouts and lost keys.
Holcombe and the Road to Dawlish
Holcombe lies 1.9 miles and 5 minutes north on the A379, with Dawlish 3.2 miles and 7 minutes along the same road, and both get spare keys and coding on the drive.
Bishopsteignton Above the Estuary
Bishopsteignton is 2.4 miles and 7 minutes west of the town on the A381, where most calls are spare keys, remote repairs and the occasional car that will not start.
Kingsteignton and the A381
Kingsteignton is 4.7 miles and 11 minutes up the A381, and Newton Abbot 6.3 miles and 14 minutes, so lost keys and van keys along the estuary road are covered on the same terms.
Vehicle Locksmith in Teignmouth Compared With a Dealer
A vehicle locksmith in Teignmouth compared with a dealer and a breakdown patrol differs on where the key gets made, the days the car is off the road and the final price.
| What the driver needs | DB Car Keys | Main dealer | Breakdown cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Key made at the car in Teignmouth | Always | Car taken to the dealer | On some jobs |
| Price before the work begins | Agreed by phone | After a look at the car | Set by the policy terms |
| Out of hours and bank holidays | Yes, every day | Opening hours only | If the policy covers it |
| Every key gone | New key made on site | Yes, at dealer cost | Seldom included |
| Spare remote for a Ford or Vauxhall | £80 to £180 | £150 to £350 | Not offered |
| Lockout opened undamaged | Each lockout | Not a dealer service | Down to the patrol |
| Remote coded at the roadside | Yes, from the van | At the workshop | Rarely |
If you have breakdown cover in Teignmouth, check whether the policy includes lockouts and lost keys, then compare the patrol wait with the 35 to 50 minutes DB Car Keys takes. A dealer programs keys in its own workshop only, so the car is towed there, stays for days and costs more.
