Lucky Lock Master is a mobile auto locksmith based in Eastleigh, and these are the areas we cover, from Southampton and Winchester to Portsmouth, the New Forest and Salisbury. Whichever town you are in, the van comes to your car with everything needed to open it, cut and program a key, or repair the ignition on the spot.

How coverage works
Every job starts from the same place. I am Shane, and I run Lucky Lock Master from Eastleigh, which sits between Southampton and Winchester with the M3 and M27 on the doorstep. That position is what makes the coverage work. The towns closest to Eastleigh can usually be reached within the hour, and the main roads lead quickly to Portsmouth, the New Forest and beyond.
Because the service is mobile, where you are matters more than which town you live in. I can attend a driveway, a supermarket car park, a station, a hospital, the seafront or the side of a country lane. The van carries key blanks, remotes, a key cutting machine and programming equipment, so the job is finished at the car. You deal with one trained auto locksmith from the first call to the moment you drive away.
Every town below has a page written for that place, covering its postcodes and neighbourhoods, the common routes from Eastleigh, local places where drivers get stuck and answers to local questions. Choose your area to see exactly how it is covered, or simply call and I will tell you straight away whether I can reach you and when.
Choose your area
The areas are grouped the way the roads connect them. Pick your town for local details, or call if you are in a village between them, as it is almost certainly covered too.

Travel and charges
I would rather be clear about travel before you book. This is how distance from Eastleigh shapes arrival time and price.
Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Bishopstoke, Fair Oak, Otterbourne and Hedge End sit inside the free call-out radius, and much of Botley and the north of Southampton does too.
Across the closer towns and Winchester, arrival is typically 30 to 45 minutes, depending on traffic and where I am when you call.
Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham, the New Forest, Alton and Salisbury take longer to reach. I give you a real arrival time on the phone rather than a stock figure.
Wherever you are, travel is built into the price I give you before I set off, so the figure you agree is the figure you pay.
Postcode areas
My coverage crosses several postcode areas. If your postcode starts with one of these and you are near a town listed above, call and I will confirm straight away.
The SO area covers Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, Hedge End, Botley, Winchester, Alresford and the Waterside side of the New Forest.
The PO area covers Portsea Island, Cosham, Fareham, Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington, Whiteley, Gosport and Lee-on-the-Solent.
The SP area covers Salisbury, Wilton, Laverstock, the villages south of the city and Fordingbridge on the edge of the New Forest.
The GU34 district covers Alton and villages such as Four Marks, Medstead, Chawton and Holybourne.
The BH24 and BH25 districts cover Ringwood, New Milton and Barton on Sea on the western side of the forest.
Many villages sit between the towns listed here. If yours is on or near a main road between two of them, it is very likely covered.
The map shows Hampshire, where most of my work takes place. Salisbury, just over the border in Wiltshire, is covered too.

I check the vehicle is yours, usually with the V5C and photo ID. If it is missing, you can apply for a replacement V5C on GOV.UK.

Great service from Shane at Lucky Lock Master. I needed a spare for my 2020 Volkswagen Polo. When I spoke to Shane he let me know it would be a 5C system and gave me a brilliant price for it even explained what the process was. Everything was done on-site, in a timely manner and the new key works perfectly. Would definitely recommend! Thanks again Shane!Posted on Google![]()

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.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
