Our story

From door locks to dealer-level key programming

  1. 2005

    Lock City Born

    Lock City began its journey in 2005 as a family-owned business, serving the locksmith needs of local businesses and homeowners.

  2. 2007

    Into vehicles

    In 2007, we added Auto Locksmithing to our services, running both services in tandem until 2009, when we decided to focus solely on auto locksmithing for the Bristol and Bath areas.

  3. 2016

    Training Avon Fire

    In 2016, Lock City experienced a highlight when we were invited by Avon Fire to conduct a training session for their firefighters on gaining access to vehicles during emergencies.

  4. 2024

    Onwards and Upwards

    Over the past few years, our focus has been on expanding our software portfolio to enhance our ability to assist with a wider range of vehicles.

“Bought a new car which only had one key. These guys came out and created a second one quickly and inexpensively. Way cheaper than going to the main dealer and the only people in Bristol who could do it for the Audi A1 I have. Brilliant service.”
