My Story

Not a Franchise.
Not a Call Centre.
Just Kam.

I started Rapid Lock Services after watching drivers get let down repeatedly — overcharged by main dealers, turned away by general locksmiths who lacked the equipment, or given a same-day job that ended with “you’ll need to go to a dealer for the rest.”

I specialise in vehicles exclusively. No household locks, no safes, no general work. That focus means every pound I invest goes into better diagnostic machines, and every hour goes into staying current with the security systems fitted to modern cars and vans.

The result: I handle all-keys-lost jobs on complex keyless systems, ECU and immobiliser faults and key programming across makes that others can’t touch — and I do it at your door, not in a workshop.

I highly recommend Rapid Lock Services - Auto Locksmith. I recently lost the key to my Toyota Aygo while out walking, and we also had an issue with our Renault Trafic key when the battery burned out and damaged the key. Kam was extremely helpful from the start, providing excellent advice and explaining all of our options clearly. His communication was professional and prompt throughout the process. He came out to our house, completed the work efficiently, and made the whole experience stress-free. The pricing was also very reasonable, especially when compared with what the main dealerships would have charged for replacement keys. Thanks to Kam, we are now back to having two working keys for both vehicles. A reliable, knowledgeable, professional, and fairly priced service that I wouldn't hesitate to use again.

I was in need of new keys and all auto locksmith were closed. Kam was the only one who responded and arrived within an hour. He provided me with two new keys, and was excellent helpful and respectful. I will only use rapid lock services from now on and recommend to everyone. Would give 10 stars if it was an option! Jazakh’Allah :)

Only locksmith in the area that was willing to do the job. Very reasonably priced, turned up to the job on time when they said they would and completed the job. Highly recommend.

I recently used this car key service to get a spare key made for my pickup tailgate, and I’m very happy with the service. The technician was friendly, professional, and completed the job quickly. The spare key works perfectly, and the whole process was smooth and hassle-free. Great communication, fair pricing, and excellent workmanship. I would definitely recommend this service to others needing spare vehicle keys.
