Locked Out of Your Van?
Keys on the seat, the door shut behind you, or a central locking fault that will not let you in: a locked van stops the working day.
We open vans on site with specialist entry tools, so you are not waiting for a spare to be brought out or the van to be recovered.
If the key is lost rather than locked inside, we can make a new one once we are in. See van key replacement.
What We Fix
- Van lockouts and vehicle entry
- Ignition barrels that will not turn
- Door lock repairs and rebuilds
- Locks re-coded to a new key
- Emergency key cutting
- Frozen and seized locks
Trust Lock City:
We have worked on vehicle locks across Bristol and Bath since 2005, so a sticking lock or ignition gets repaired properly, not just worked around.
What Our Customers say
Excellent experience. Great communication, efficient timing, good price, accommodating & a very warm and friendly service. Would definitely recommend!
Great service today from Barry, the 4th locksmith/key technician to have a go at accessing my car after the keys were locked in the boot. Almost resigned to smashing the window, but he managed to access the car after 2 hours in the wind and rain, with a broken mechanism inside the lock, confirmed by the others who attempted the pick, brilliant stuff.
I was in a real panic, having locked my keys in my boot. Delighted with the efficient and effective service from this company. Had my keys back in my hand in under 5 minutes. Strongly recommend
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.
Locked my keys in my car so Called at 9:45 and was out by 11. Very quick in my eyes considering it wasn’t a booked appointment. Came and unlocked my car in longer than 5 minutes!
Amazing service! I got an email response within minutes on a Sunday night. Arrived as arranged 8:30 next morning and had me back on the road within 30 mins for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended.
Brilliant service and at a reasonable cost highly recommended using this company.
Ignition and Lock Repairs
A key that turns stiffly, sticks, or will not turn at all usually points to a worn ignition barrel or lock rather than a bad key. Left alone, it can fail completely and strand the van.
We repair or rebuild the barrel and, where needed, re-code the ignition and door locks to a new key, so one key runs the whole van.
If a key has been stolen, re-coding the locks means the old key no longer opens or starts the van.
Frozen, Damaged and Tampered Locks
A cold morning can freeze a door lock solid, and a van that has been broken into often has a damaged lock that no longer takes the key.
We free, repair or replace the lock on site and make sure the key you have works in it again.

Locked Out, or Lost Your Key?
If the key is inside the van, or the lock or ignition has failed, this is the right page: we get you in and fix the lock.
If the key is lost, broken or you need a spare, you need a new key instead, which our van key replacement service covers.
