Emergency Auto Locksmiths in Leicester
(Fast, Mobile Support)
Car key problems never happen at a convenient time and when you’re stuck outside your vehicle, you need a locksmith who does this every day, not someone guessing on the job.
KeyWorx provides emergency auto locksmith services across Leicester, with mobile technicians who come to your location. That can include help at home, at work, in a supermarket car park, or roadside wherever the vehicle is.
Here are the most common Leicester call-outs we handle:
Security Matters
For your protection (and ours), we’ll ask for proof of ownership and photo ID before completing work. That’s standard professional practice and prevents keys being produced for vehicles without authorisation.
Mobile Auto Locksmith Leicester – Same Day Call Out
Most key and lock issues can’t wait. That’s why our service is built around mobile call‑outs in Leicester, focused on getting you back into your vehicle and back on the road as quickly as possible.
Depending on the vehicle and the issue, we can often:
- Regain access when keys are locked inside
- Create replacement keys when keys are lost
- Cut and supply a spare key (ideal when you only have one left)
- Programme keys and remotes so the car starts and functions correctly
If you want a simple explanation of how professional vehicle entry works (without the dodgy “how to break in” nonsense), this guide covers it safely and clearly:

Below are our core services. Each service page explains what’s included, who it’s for, and how to book.
Locked Out of Your Car in Leicester
If you’ve locked your keys inside the car, the boot won’t open, or your keyless fob won’t unlock the doors, we provide emergency vehicle entry in Leicester. We use professional tools and proven techniques designed to minimise the risk of damage.
Lost Car Keys Leicester (No Spare Key)
Lost every key? Don’t panic. This is one of the most common reasons people call an auto locksmith — and in many cases we can still produce a replacement, even when you don’t have the original.
Replacement Car Keys Leicester (Spare Keys, Damaged Keys, Worn Keys)
If your key is damaged, unreliable, or you’ve only got one left, getting a spare made now is usually far easier (and less stressful) than waiting until you’re locked out or stranded.
Car Key Programming Leicester (Transponder & Immobiliser)
Modern vehicle security often relies on a transponder chip and an immobiliser system. If the chip isn’t programmed correctly, the car might unlock but not start — or it may start intermittently.
Replacement Van Keys (Leicester & Surrounding)
Vans are workhorses — and downtime costs money. If you need replacement van keys, spare keys, or urgent access to your vehicle, we can often help across Leicester and nearby areas.
Keys by Post (Planning Ahead)
If you’re not locked out and you want a spare key arranged in advance, Keys by Post may be an option for certain jobs. We’ll advise whether your vehicle and key type is suitable, and what information is needed.
Mileage correction (Legitimate, Documented Scenarios)
We provide mileage correction for specific legitimate scenarios (for example, after approved repairs or module replacements). If you’re unsure whether your situation is suitable, contact us and we’ll explain what’s possible and what documentation is required. We do not support unlawful misrepresentation.
