Based in Eastleigh · Open 24 hours, 7 days
I am Shane, the auto locksmith behind Lucky Lock Master. Based in Eastleigh, I provide a 24 hour mobile auto locksmith service across Southampton and Hampshire. Locked out, lost your car keys or need a spare? I come to your vehicle and cut and program new keys at the roadside, so there is no recovery truck and no call-out fee within 6 miles of Eastleigh.
What I do
Every job is done at your vehicle, whether it is on your driveway, in a car park or at the side of the road. You can see all my services in one place.
Lost, broken or worn out key? I supply, cut and program replacement car keys for most cars and vans, from basic transponder keys to the smart and proximity keys used with push-to-start. Every new key is programmed to your immobiliser and tested before I leave.
No working key at all? For many vehicles I do the whole all keys lost job on site. I open the car without damage, cut a new blade, program the key and, where possible, remove the missing keys from the immobiliser. This is what I do when every key is gone.
If you only have one key, get a spare car key made now. It is quicker, and it usually costs less than an all keys lost job later. Send me your registration and a photo of your current key and I will tell you which key suits your car.
Keys locked in the car or the boot, or a flat battery stopping the fob from unlocking the doors? I use specialist tools for non-destructive vehicle entry, opening cars and vans without smashing windows or damaging the locks.
Remote stopped working, new fob bought, or a transponder chip not being recognised? I carry out key fob programming for remote locking, transponder chips and keyless entry systems, and pair every key to the immobiliser.
If you have a key snapped in the ignition or a door lock, I can remove it without damage and cut a replacement on the spot. If the key will not turn at all, I carry out ignition barrel repair and replacement at your location, so the car does not need recovering to a garage.
I also handle specialist systems, including Mercedes electronic steering lock faults with a programmed Mercedes ESL emulator, and VAG 5C/5D key programming for Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT and Skoda. Each service page explains the process in full.
I work on the Transit, Transit Custom, Sprinter, Vito, Transporter, Caddy, Vivaro, Trafic and more. A van off the road costs you work, so I sort commercial van keys as quickly as possible. Businesses running several vehicles can use my service for fleet and commercial vehicles.
Meet your locksmith
I have always enjoyed working with cars, solving problems and doing hands-on work, so becoming an auto locksmith felt like a natural fit. Every day brings a different vehicle and a different challenge, and the best part of the job is turning up for someone who is genuinely stuck and getting them back on the road.
I set up Lucky Lock Master to do things properly. I take my time on each job and look after every customer from the first phone call to the moment the new key works. Since starting Lucky Lock Master, the business has been built on hard work, reliability and word of mouth, with 100+ five-star Google reviews to show for it.
“For me, it is not just about cutting and programming keys. It is about helping someone when they are stuck and making a stressful situation as straightforward as possible.”

Real work, real cars
You can see more real jobs I have done across Hampshire.
All keys lostEvery key had been lost. On the B6 Passat, the immobiliser sits inside the comfort control module, so a key cannot be added through the diagnostic port alone. I removed the module, read the immobiliser data, prepared the new key, refitted the module and programmed the key to the car.
All keys lostOn BMWs with the FEM system, a new key has to match the security data held in the engine ECU. With no working key to start from, I removed the FEM and the engine ECU, read the ISN, prepared the FEM and programmed a new key to the car.
SpecialistOn certain 5C/5D key systems, I recover the required data from the existing key, transfer it onto a suitable replacement key, cut the new blade, then program and learn the key to the vehicle.
