We are Hunter Locksmiths, a mobile auto locksmith covering Crouch End and the surrounding N8 streets. We come to the vehicle wherever it is parked, which is the point when the alternative is paying to recover it.
Cars and vans are the main job rather than a sideline. Replacement car keys, ignition faults, immobiliser problems and lockouts are what our vans carry the kit for, at any hour.
What We Get Called To Around N8
The Broadway and the streets around the Clock Tower are the busiest. Parking is short stay and tight, people are in and out of the shops, and keys get shut in the boot while somebody is loading up. That is the single most common lockout we deal with here.
Then there is Priory Park and the Parkland Walk. People leave the car on a residential street, walk the old railway line, and come back without the key. You do not need to find it. We can cut and program a new one at the car.
Crouch End also has a lot of cars parked on the street overnight rather than on driveways, on roads that climb steeply up towards Crouch Hill and Hornsey. Cold nights finish off a weak fob battery, and a worn barrel that has been getting stiff for months tends to give up in the morning when you are already late. Ignition repairs are a regular job here for that reason.
Crouch End sits inside our wider North London coverage, so we also cover Hornsey, Stroud Green and the roads towards Muswell Hill.
