Lock Out In London? How to find a London Locksmith

Perhaps one of the most anxiety inducing situations you can find yourself in is being somewhere in London, miles away from home and losing your car keys. Just what do you do in that situation?

Obviously it's best never to get into that situation in the first place, so carrying a spare key on your person at all times will ensure you can always get back into your vehicle if the worst should happen. It is important to carry the spare key with you, and not leave it in the glove box for obvious reasons. If you are locked out of your car then a spare key is no use whatsoever if it's locked in the car as well! Also leaving a spare key in the vehicle poses an additional security risk if your car gets broken into.

If carrying a spare key seems cumbersome, then it may be worth considering keeping the spare key on a chain around your neck, or within a hidden pocket on your clothing. Most modern car keys are quite bulky as they contain electronics for the engine immobiliser, so keeping it in your pocket might be a bit uncomfortable.

You could attempt to learn how to pick your own car door lock, in effect teaching yourself the art of locksmithing, but this is likely to be a lot harder than it sounds, especially with modern cars.

Lock picking takes a lot of practice and skill and if you are not sure what you are doing you could very easily damage the pins or cylinder mechanism requiring a replacement lock which could prove very expensive. Bear in mind that it is illegal to pick other peoples locks, no matter what your intentions.

The only solution facing you if you find yourself locked out and unable to get back in is to contact a local auto locksmith. They have the tools and abilities to create a new key for your lock even if you've lost all your copies. They can even unlock electronic locks if you've lost the transponder key.

Overall it is best to be prepared for the worst rather than finding yourself in a preventable situation, but if you do find yourself locked out of your vehicle, a reliable london locksmith can always help.
