We are Hunter Locksmiths, an auto locksmith based a couple of miles up the road in Edmonton. Wood Green is one of the areas we work in most, and we can usually be with you quickly.
Cars and vans are the main job rather than a sideline. Lost car keys, keys that will not turn, immobiliser faults and vehicles that will not open are what our vans carry the kit for, seven days a week and at any hour.
Why Wood Green Keeps Us Busy
Wood Green has more parked cars per street than almost anywhere else in this part of London, and that is where key problems happen. The Shopping City car parks swallow thousands of cars a day. Turnpike Lane and Wood Green stations fill with commuters whose cars sit untouched for ten hours, which is long enough for a tired fob battery to give up or a worn ignition barrel to finally stop turning.
Then there is the parking itself. The streets off Lordship Lane and around Noel Park are tight, permit controlled and busy, so keys get locked in while people are unloading, and a van needs to be able to get to the car and work safely once it arrives. Knowing which streets are one way and where a van can actually stop is the difference between finding you in fifteen minutes and circling the block.
We also get called to Alexandra Palace regularly. People park up for an event or a walk, come back after dark, and the key has gone somewhere between the car and the park.
Wood Green sits inside our wider North London coverage, so if you are just over the border in Bounds Green, Turnpike Lane or Hornsey we cover that too.
