Ashurst & Colbury
Keys Lost Or Locked In At The Forest Edge
Ashurst sits where Totton's houses give way to open Forest, and that shapes the calls we get. Walkers return to a car park to find their key gone or locked inside. Visitors arrive at Ashurst New Forest station or the campsite on the A35 with a key that has stopped working. Residents simply need a spare. As a car locksmith in Ashurst, we deal with all of these at the vehicle, with no recovery truck and no dealer visit.
Lost keys
Lost Car Keys Ashurst
A key dropped on a Forest walk is rarely found again, but the car can still be driven home the same day.
When No Working Key Is Left
Lost car keys in Ashurst are replaced by decoding the vehicle's lock to find the blade cuts, cutting a new key, and programming its transponder or smart key to the immobiliser. Where the vehicle's system allows, the lost key is removed from its memory so it can no longer start the car. See Lost Car Key Replacement.
When A Spare Still Works
If there's a working key at home, replacement car keys in Ashurst are simpler and less expensive, because the new key can be copied rather than built from the lock. Tell us when you call, as it changes the price and time.

Locked Keys In Car Ashurst
Keys left on the seat or dropped in the boot as it closed are a common call from Forest car parks. Locked keys in car jobs in Ashurst are handled with non-destructive entry tools, so the vehicle is opened without damage to the locks, door seals, glass or paintwork. Vehicle entry starts from £95.
A child or animal trapped in a hot vehicle is an emergency: call 999 before contacting us. See Vehicle Entry / Keys Locked in Car.
Made at the vehicle
How Is A Replacement Key Made At The Car?
Replacement car keys for Ashurst drivers are made in two stages: the blade is cut to match the locks, then the key is programmed to the immobiliser. Cutting solves the mechanical lock, but the engine remains immobilised until coding is complete.
Cutting The Blade
The blade is copied from an existing key or, when every key is lost, decoded from the lock itself, including high-security laser-cut profiles and the emergency blades hidden inside most smart keys.
Car Key Programming For Ashurst Vehicles
Car key programming in Ashurst is done through the vehicle's diagnostic port on most makes, with remote buttons and keyless functions paired as part of the job. For vehicles that block this route, the necessary key data has to be obtained from the security module. Every key is tested to lock, unlock and start the car before you pay. See On-Site Car Key Coding.
Planned key work
Spare Car Keys Ashurst
Spare car keys in Ashurst are cut and coded on your driveway, using your existing key as the pattern, and are usually finished within the hour. It's the simplest way to avoid an all-keys-lost callout later. See Mobile Spare Car Key Production.
The same visit can cover car key repair in Ashurst. When the electronics remain sound, worn buttons, a split shell or a snapped blade may be repaired without replacing the whole key. See Damaged Car Key Repair.
Local coverage

Yes. Ashurst, Colbury and the surrounding Forest are part of our regular area, and our mobile auto locksmith service in Ashurst typically reaches you within 45–60 minutes.
The Route In Along The A35
The A35 runs straight through the village between Totton and Lyndhurst, so Ashurst is quick to reach from either direction. When you call, you get an arrival time based on where we are at that moment.

Evening availability
Open Until 11pm, Seven Days
Ashurst callouts run from 8am until 11pm every day. We give lockouts and all-keys-lost jobs priority; if you call near closing time, we will confirm whether we can attend that evening or arrange the following morning. See Urgent Mobile Vehicle Locksmith.
Clear pricing
What Does Car Key Replacement Cost In Ashurst?
Replacement keys in Ashurst start from £190, with the exact quote set by the vehicle, key design and coding procedure. Opening a locked vehicle starts from £95.
Why Prices Differ
A transponder key for an older hatchback and a smart key for a newer premium SUV differ in hardware cost and programming time, and replacing a key when every key is lost takes more work than cutting a spare.
No Surprises On The Day
We agree the cost before touching the vehicle and take no payment in advance. If inspection reveals a different key system or job, you hear the new figure before deciding; declining it does not create a call-out fee.
How We Work
- Your price is confirmed before any work starts. There's no payment upfront and no hidden charges.
- If the job turns out to be different from what was described, you'll hear the revised price first, and there's no call-out charge if you decline it.
- We're open 8am–11pm, seven days a week. Lockouts and lost keys are prioritised, and on late calls we'll tell you straight away whether we can attend tonight or book you in first thing tomorrow.
- Before any key is made, we check proof of ownership, such as the V5C logbook, and matching photo ID. Business, lease and hire vehicles need written permission from the owner.
