You speak to me
When you call, you get the person who will do the job. I ask the right questions about your car and your keys, give you an honest arrival time and tell you the price before I set off.
I am Shane, the owner and the only auto locksmith at Lucky Lock Master. I run a 24 hour mobile auto locksmith service from Eastleigh, covering Southampton and the rest of Hampshire. When you call, you speak to me, and I am the one who turns up, opens your car, cuts and programs your key and makes sure it works before I leave.


My story
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. One call is a family locked out of their car at the supermarket, the next is a van driver who has lost the only key on a Monday morning with a full day of work booked in.
I set up Lucky Lock Master to do things properly. Many drivers assume their only option is the main dealer, vehicle recovery and a wait for a replacement key. For many vehicles, I can instead carry out car key replacement at the roadside, with the key cut and programmed during the same visit.
The business has been built on hard work, reliability and word of mouth. Most of my work comes from people who have used me before, or who were told about me by a friend, a neighbour or a local garage. In May 2025, Lucky Lock Master became a registered limited company, and I still run it the same way as the day I started, with every job done by me.
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 simple as possible.
Completed an auto locksmith training course and gained my certificate of training before taking on customer work.
Began working across Eastleigh and Southampton from a fully equipped van, open 24 hours a day.
Registered Lucky Lock Master Ltd in England and Wales, with the office based in Eastleigh.
Trusted by drivers, local businesses and a Fire and Rescue fleet across Hampshire.
One person, start to finish
Lucky Lock Master is not a call centre or a national network. There are no subcontractors and no one else is sent in my place.
When you call, you get the person who will do the job. I ask the right questions about your car and your keys, give you an honest arrival time and tell you the price before I set off.
From opening the vehicle to cutting the blade and programming the key, I carry out every step myself. That includes all keys lost jobs, where there is no working key left to copy.
Keys I supply come with a 12 month warranty. If something is not right, you call the same number and deal with the same person, not a helpline.
Why you can trust me
Letting someone work on your car and your keys takes trust, so here is exactly what stands behind my work.
I hold an auto locksmith certificate of training from Hickleys Training Academy, covering vehicle entry, key cutting and key programming.

Fleet vehicle keyBusinesses and fleets
Being trusted with Fire and Rescue vehicles means a lot to me. These vans need to be back in service quickly, so the work has to be right first time. I carry out van key replacement and ignition barrel repairs on site, so vehicles do not need to be taken off the road and recovered to a garage.
The same standard applies to every customer, whether you are a sole trader with one van or a company running several vehicles. Businesses can use my fleet auto locksmith service for spare keys, lost keys and lock faults across their vehicles.
Tools of the trade
My van is equipped as a mobile auto locksmith workshop, with professional key programming, diagnostic and key cutting equipment, so most jobs are finished at your vehicle.
Diagnostic key programmers connect to the car through the OBD port to add new keys, remove lost ones and handle key fob programming.
Some jobs need data read from the immobiliser or engine module. This is how I handle harder all keys lost jobs and VAG 5C/5D key programming.
I generate remotes and transponder chips, then cut the blade in the van. It is also how I make a spare car key while you wait.
A stable voltage matters during programming. I use battery support on every programming job so the car electrics stay protected while I work.
The same equipment lets me handle specialist work such as a Mercedes ESL emulator for steering lock faults, as well as broken key extraction from doors and ignitions.
My promises
Being locked out or losing your keys is stressful. These are the standards I keep on every job, day or night.
Call 07563 060907Every vehicle is different, so I give you a quote on the phone once I know the make, model and year. You can also send me your details and a photo of your key.
Typical arrival is 30 to 45 minutes across Southampton and Eastleigh. If I am on another job, I tell you straight away.
For a car lockout, I use specialist entry tools, not force. No broken windows and no damaged locks.
There is no call-out fee within 6 miles of Eastleigh, including nearby parts of Southampton.
Every key is tested for starting, locking and unlocking before I pack up, so you drive away with a key that works.
Pay by card on the day, bank transfer or cash, with a receipt for every job.
Real work
Two recent all keys lost jobs, both finished at the vehicle with no dealer visit and no recovery truck.

With no keys left, I read the immobiliser data from the car, then cut and programmed a new key on site. This is typical of the Volkswagen key work I do every week.

A BMW with the FEM system and no working key. I read the data needed from the engine module and programmed a new key, a job many people assume only a BMW dealer can do.

Where I work
I live and work locally, so I know the roads, the car parks and the quickest routes at any time of day. From Eastleigh I cover Southampton, Winchester, Portsmouth, Fareham and the New Forest, along with the towns in between. You can see all the areas I cover, or pick your town below.

Needed a new van key pronto and after trying other companies who never replied or said they couldn’t do it, Shane was recommended to me by one of his competitors. A couple of phone calls and he turned up at my house, explained the process of programming the new key, cutting the key and then invited me to watch the process. Now that’s not for everyone but it was an interesting insight to someone else’s chosen profession. I would highly recommend his business to others in need of help.Posted on Google![]()
