Booked in for tyres — locker key’s missing
You’ve gone to get tyres or other work done and the key isn’t in the car. Without it, no garage will touch the wheel and the job stalls. We come out, get the locker off, the rest of the work carries on.
Lost keys, stripped patterns, seized nuts — we get them off. Most jobs sorted in 15–30 minutes once we’re with you.
Call for a price — same-day slots most days 0330 133 9311A real person, every time. Tell us your reg, where the car is (driveway, garage, work car park) and what’s up with the locker — lost key, stripped pattern, seized on the stud. We’ll know straight away whether it’s a job we can take.
Total you’ll pay — agreed on the call, no surprises when we arrive. We’ll book you a slot that suits, often same-day. If the locker has had a previous attempt at it, we’d rather chat that one through first so the price stays honest.
The right extractor out of the kit, locker off, replacement nut torqued to the manufacturer’s figure. Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay when the job’s done.
“I called him and he was with me within the hour, all sorted and road worthy again. I would absolutely recommend this young man, who is a complete professional in his field, mannerly and genuine.”
You’ve gone to get tyres or other work done and the key isn’t in the car. Without it, no garage will touch the wheel and the job stalls. We come out, get the locker off, the rest of the work carries on.
A previous garage put an air gun on it and chewed the pattern. The key now spins freely. Our extractors are made for exactly this — we’ll get it off and a standard nut back on.
Car’s sitting on a ramp somewhere and the whole job is paused waiting on a locking nut. We’ll come to the garage, get it sorted, and let them carry on.
Key fits but the nut won’t move — corroded after a few winters of salt. We can usually heat, penetrate and turn it without going to full extraction.
Most people aren’t — locking nuts only get noticed when something’s gone wrong with them. Tell us what you can see and we’ll talk you through it on the call. Two minutes on the phone and we’ll know whether it’s a five-minute job or one we’d rather take a proper look at.
One we can’t do: if the bolt itself has snapped (not the locker, the stud underneath), that’s a workshop job — we’ll tell you straight rather than waste your time.
