AUTO/CAR LOCKSMITH

It seems to have been a week for spare car keys this week, we have continued to clock up the miles vsiting workplaces as well as homes to cut and programme spare car keys as well as providing a discounted service for those customers that are happy to visit us in Sunbury, Surrey.

As well as spare car keys we have been inundated with jobs involving damaged Renault Key Cards; the delicate components within the cards often stop working, however if you own one of these cards and have started to experience problems such as having to press the lock/unlock button several times or move to the key card in the reader to acknowledge a reading and start the car, then maybe it’s time to invest in a new card before the inevitable occurs and you find yourself in an emergency breakdown situation, stranded waiting for one of our 24 hour mobile automotive locksmiths to come and rescue the situation.

Our 24/7 emergency engineers have been busy this week with an increase in car keys locked in cars and the usual lost car key situations, covering West London, Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire; providing a service that ensures customers are able to drive away from any situation and avoid towing costs and long waits for replacement car keys. It has also been a week for putting right mistakes of shall we say less experienced auto locksmiths, this seems to be a sign of the times unfortunately where spending a large budget on a website doesn’t always guarantee you quality of service, by using 1st Response Locksmiths you can rest assured that the auto locksmith you receive will have had extensive training and be fully equipped with the very best equipment and will only use genuine, high quality car keys.

ALARMS & SECURITY

It always makes me sad having to attend homes that have just been burgled, especially when a simple Yale alarm could have possibly prevented this situation and with prices from as little as £299 for a basic alarm system fully installed, which also includes a free security survey that would normally cost £75, it is piece of mind knowing that your home is secure when home or away. This week we have installed alarms in Camberley, Guildford, Whitton and Several in the West London area.

Don’t wait to become a crime statistic and phone us for a free, no obligation quote.

DOMESTIC LOCKSMITH

Our domestic team have been busy as well this week, picking open locks on cabinets in Kensington & Chelsea, as well as a car key cabinet for Volkswagon, with the extra pressure of customers waiting for there car keys. We have had the usual locked out of home situations and provided another 100% non destructive week.

GENERAL LOCKSMITH

This week followers we have been inundated with alarm requests, Burglaries in the West London and Surrey areas have been on the increase and we have had to deal with the aftermath of several burglaries this week alone, it can be a traumatic experience having your property breached and belongings taken, some people never recover from such an experience and eventually end up selling their home and moving on. Here at 1st Response Locksmiths we can provide a free security survey focusing on your individual requirements without the hard sell; we are locksmiths not salesmen and will provide honest and upfront advice, focusing on your whole home security.

It has been a long week, working long hours covering jobs in Sunbury, Harlesden, Slough, Guildford, Feltham, Brent and Bracknell; the auto locksmith jobs keep coming in thick and fast as well as an increase in our domestic work, with more and more of you locking yourselves out of your homes !!!!

CAR LOCKSMITH

In addition to our domestic locksmith work we continue to be extremely busy in our automotive division of the organistaion and have this week alone provided lost keys on 3 Ford Transits, as well as recovered keys locked in a BMW at Heathrow and an Audi in Wembley that was on the brink of being recovered before we arrived just in the nick of time and were able to the pick the lock open in under 2 minutes; an interesting job came earlier in the week when we had to recover Car keys locked in a 4×4 Honda at Fulham FC, there are only a few of these vehicles in the UK and we were able to pick open the lock, much to the amazement of another very satisfied customer.

Since last week’s post we have continued to rescue people from lost car key situations to key’s locked in cars, racking up the mileage covering job’s in West London, Surrey and even as far afield as West Sussex for an established Mitsubishi dealership.

It was only yesterday that we attended a Seat Alhambra that had been sitting outside the customer’s home for 8 months !!! after they had lost the key’s and finally decided to sell the vehicle but needed a key first; after scrapping off the moss and removing the wildlife from the locks we managed to pick open a very stubborn lock, cut a key and programme the car key to the vehicle, much to the amazement of another extremely satisfied customer.

We have attended a lot of emergency call out situations this week whereby the customers have been in the situation of having their car keys stolen, as with every situation we have deleted their old car keys and replaced them with either a remote key or a manual key as well as a spare key, all of which have been programmed into the car’s immobiliser and got them on there way satisfied that the stolen keys are no longer usable on their vehicle. Stay vigilant people as there are always people out there that want the things you have and will take the easy option of taking them rather than working hard to achieve them, we will be posting a security blog soon with some tips and advice on staying safe and keeping your property safe and secure, whether car or home related.

What’s been happening this week …………

………. We are midway through the week and already we have helped out a wide variety of customers; this morning alone we replaced a Renault key card in Heathrow that had stopped working, and got the customer on his way in no time at all.

On Sunday night we were called by a distressed young lady that had her bag stolen and was stranded in West London with no car keys to her Vauxhall Corsa, we arrived within 30 minutes and deleted her old keys and programmed her a new remote key and a spare manual key.

Monday continued to be a busy day for us, programing new car keys on a Ford Fiesta in Guildford, recovering keys from the boot of a Mercedes in Farnborough and producing a spare key on a Peugeot in Harrow; the night time proved just a hectic with our first call of the year from Thorpe Park after a couple had lost their car keys to a Vauxhall Astra whilst on a ride in the park.

Tuesday started busy with an early call to an Audi in Woking with the car keys locked in the car on the passenger seat, once we had recovered the keys the customer requested a spare key which was produced and programmed in no time at all.

And so here we are on a Wednesday lunchtime, grabbing a quick bite to eat before heading out to another Renault with a faulty key card, followed by an Iveco with lost keys.

Keep up date with our weekly blog and remember if you are ever in a situation whereby you need a car locksmith, just call and receive honest up front quotes and no hidden costs.

Or do you sort the problem immediately and call an emergency auto locksmith?
