Adding A Dependable Backup Key To A BMW 1 Series
The owner of this BMW 1 Series in Sway had one working key and wanted a dependable spare before that single key became a more urgent problem.
View jobNew Forest Auto Locksmith is a mobile auto locksmith covering Sway and the lanes around it, cutting, programming and repairing car keys at your vehicle, whether it's on the driveway, at the station or at a Forest car park.
Sway is spread out, with homes along quiet lanes, a station on the main line and open Forest just to the north. Most of our calls here come from those three places.
Much of the work in the village is planned: a spare for a car bought with only one key, or a key whose buttons are wearing through. Car key cutting in Sway is done on the driveway, using your existing key as the pattern, and the new key is added to the car as a separately authorised key. See Spare Car Keys.
A key dropped on heath or in woodland is rarely found again. Lost car keys in Sway are replaced at the vehicle, even in a Forest car park: the lock is decoded, a new key is cut, and its transponder or smart key is programmed to the immobiliser. See Lost Car Keys.


Commuters sometimes come back to a car they can't get into. Locked keys in car calls in Sway are handled with non-destructive entry tools, so nothing is forced or broken, and vehicle entry starts from £95. See Locked Keys In Car.

If you can see the key inside the car, it's a lockout, not a lost key. Locked keys in car jobs in Sway are quicker and far cheaper than making a new key. Look through the windows and check the boot area before you call.
If a working key is at home or with a family member, lost car keys in Sway become a much simpler job. Replacement car keys in Sway cut from a spare are quicker and cheaper than building a key from the lock, so check before you call.
We check proof of ownership, such as the V5C logbook, and photo ID matching it before any key is made. Having them ready saves time when we arrive.
As a car locksmith in Sway, we handle more than lost keys and lockouts. A remote that no longer locks the car has usually lost its sync, and key fob programming in Sway puts it right on site with diagnostic equipment. Snapped blades, cracked cases and worn buttons can often be repaired or recased, so car key repair in Sway is usually cheaper than a new key where the electronics still work. Car key cutting in Sway also covers older keys without remotes, cut to match your locks and programmed where a transponder is fitted. See Car Key Programming and Broken Car Keys.

Our mobile auto locksmith service in Sway typically reaches you within 45–60 minutes, and you get an arrival time based on where we are when you call.
Sway sits between Brockenhurst and New Milton, with the B3055 linking the village to both, so it's straightforward to reach from either direction.
From Sway we also cover Lymington to the south-east and Milford on Sea on the coast. Other places within reach appear on our New Forest service area.

Sway pricing reflects the vehicle and the work involved: a premium smart key costs more than a basic transponder, an all-keys-lost replacement takes longer than adding a spare, and a repair may cost less when the electronics survive. Entry starts from £95. We agree the figure without upfront payment; any change found at the car is explained for approval, and declining it carries no call-out fee.
