Auto Locksmith North London | 24/7 Car Keys & Ignitions

If you are standing next to your car in a Wood Green side street with a key that will not turn, or you have got back to the car park at Cockfosters after a day in town and your fob has gone dead, you do not need a website. You need someone who can actually get to you.

We are Hunter Locksmiths, and we are based in North London, not somewhere else pretending to be. Our stall is in the Asda car park on the A1010 in Edmonton, N9, and our mobile vans cover everything from Barnet and Finchley across to Tottenham, Walthamstow and Chingford, up through Enfield and Southgate, and down into Islington and Camden.

We are automotive specialists first. Lost car keys, keys that will not turn in the ignition, immobiliser faults and vehicles you cannot get into are the calls we take most days, and they are what our vans are equipped for. We are available 24 hours a day, every day, and we quote before we start.

Based in Edmonton, Covering the Whole of North London

Most of the results you will find for an auto locksmith in North London are not local. A good number are national call centres that take your details, mark up the price and pass the job to whoever happens to be free. You end up waiting longer, paying more, and speaking to somebody in a different county about a car park you are standing in.

We work differently because we live here. Our base at the Asda car park in Edmonton puts us minutes from the A10 and the North Circular, which is how we get anywhere in North London quickly. We know which streets around Green Lanes a van cannot get down, we know Tottenham Hotspur matchdays turn N17 into a car park of its own, and we know the commuter car parks at Cockfosters, High Barnet and Oakwood fill with people who left in the morning and came back to a car that will not start.

That local knowledge is not marketing. It is the difference between finding you in fifteen minutes and driving round the block for half an hour.

Cars are most of the work, but we also cut and program van keys for the trades that keep North London running. And our coverage does not stop at the North Circular. We work right across East London and West London, and up into Hertfordshire too.

The Calls We Get Most

Lost Car Keys

The most common call we take. Keys go missing at Alexandra Palace during an event, on the Lea Valley paths, in the Tottenham Hale and Wood Green shopping centres, or somewhere between a pub and a car park. We cut and program replacement car keys on site for almost every make and model, including transponder keys, remote fobs and proximity keys. You do not need the original, and you do not need to get the car to a dealer.

Ignition Faults and Keys That Will Not Turn

If the key goes in but will not turn, the problem is usually the ignition barrel rather than the key, and it rarely fails without warning. We diagnose and repair ignition faults at the roadside, which saves the recovery cost of getting the vehicle to a garage. On older vehicles around Edmonton and Tottenham we see worn barrels constantly, and most are repairable in an hour or two.

Immobiliser and Keyless Entry Problems

Keyless entry has made cars easier to live with and easier to steal, and North London has seen its share of relay theft. We handle immobiliser faults, failed key fob programming and keyless system problems, and we can advise on making a keyless vehicle harder to take. If your car has suddenly stopped recognising a key that worked yesterday, that is usually an immobiliser or programming fault rather than a dead battery.

Locked Out of Your Vehicle

Keys locked inside, a snapped key in the door, or a central locking system that has given up. We open vehicles without damaging them. We do not drill unless there is genuinely no alternative, and we will tell you before we do.

Van Keys and Van Security

North London runs on vans, and a van off the road is a day of work gone. We cut and program van keys for all the common makes, and we fit deadlocks, slam locks and additional security for trades who leave tools in the vehicle overnight. If you are working out of Meridian Water, Edmonton or one of the Enfield industrial estates, this is a call we take often.

We are based in Edmonton, minutes from the A10 and the North Circular, and that is what makes the difference to how fast we get to you.

For Enfield, Edmonton, Tottenham, Palmers Green, Wood Green and Southgate we are often with you inside 30 minutes.

What Local Customers Say

Was locked out and called so many people from online and they came out and gave me ridiculous prices. This guy was very honest, asked for a photo and told me exactly how much it would cost me, and it was a fraction of the price I had been quoted. He came out and sorted it in 30 minutes. Would recommend to anyone.

Hands down the BEST locksmith experience I've had. Called for same-day car key programming and they showed up fast, knew exactly what they were doing, and had me back on the road in no time. Professional, efficient, and worth every star.
Bugrahan B.

Amazing service by Eric. My work van key was stuck on Sunday, and Eric came the same day with the necessary parts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you actually cover all of North London, or just Edmonton?

All of it. Our base is in Edmonton, which is what lets us get across North London quickly, but we are called out daily to Barnet, Finchley, Tottenham, Enfield, Islington and everywhere in between.

How much does a replacement car key cost in North London?

It depends on the make, model and year, because the key and the programming differ between vehicles. Ring us with your registration and we will give you a price on the phone before we come out. There are no call out charges added afterwards.

Can you make a car key if I have lost every key I own?

Yes. We do not need an existing key. We can generate and program a new key to the vehicle at the roadside for almost every common make.

My key turns but the car will not start, is that a locksmith job?

Usually yes. That pattern normally points to the immobiliser or key programming rather than the engine, and it is exactly the sort of fault we diagnose. It is worth ringing us before you call for recovery.

Do you come out at night?

Yes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays.

I am parked at Cockfosters or High Barnet station and my key has stopped working. Can you come to the car park?

Yes, we work in station and shopping centre car parks across North London regularly. Tell us the level and the bay number when you call and we will find you.

Can you get to me on the North Circular or the A10?

Yes, provided it is safe for us to work. If you are in a live lane, get to a safe place first and call us from there.

Do you do van keys and van security as well as cars?

Both. Van key replacement and programming, plus deadlocks, slam locks and extra security for tradespeople.

Do you charge a call out fee on top of the quote?

No. The price we give you on the phone is the price, with no hidden fees.

Can you help with house locks too?

Yes. Cars are our speciality, but we also handle home lock changes, lockouts, security upgrades and camera systems.
