Where we cover
From the cliff-top roads of Southbourne to the lanes around Verwood, we cover the whole BH area and the Dorset/Hampshire border. Wherever the car is, that's where we work.
Some drivers need a full replacement after losing the only key. Others want a spare for a recently purchased car, or need a stiff ignition investigated. We keep replacement-key work, mechanical ignition repair and specialist security programming separate so the recommended service matches the problem.
A replacement needs to match both the vehicle and its security system.
Keys can go missing on a shop counter, during a countryside walk or in a car park. If there is no spare, tell us where the vehicle is safely parked and whether it uses a blade or push-start system. We check the right key and programming method before arranging work at the car.
A second key avoids depending on the only one for every journey.
For a used car supplied with one key, or a household sharing journeys toward Moors Valley and along the B3081, a spare can be cut and paired while the original is available. We confirm the appropriate transponder, flip or smart-key type and test the new key alongside the existing set.
Describe whether the key inserts, turns or is recognised by the car.
A sticking barrel on a Potterne driveway needs a mechanical assessment; repeatedly forcing the key can make the problem worse. A push-start vehicle that does not recognise a key may need a different security-system assessment. We discuss ignition repair, replacement keys or high-security and EEPROM work according to the symptoms and vehicle.

FAQ
For supported vehicles, yes. We assess replacement without a working original, using the vehicle details to identify the key and programming method. Proof that you are entitled to the vehicle is required, and parts and suitability are checked before the appointment.
Mobile key appointments from town-centre homes to Ebblake workplaces
For an all-keys-lost vehicle at Ebblake, we check the car details and workplace access before arranging replacement at the vehicle.
Losing your keys without a spare leaves the vehicle unusable until a replacement is made and programmed. Older mechanical keys and modern smart keys involve different procedures. Some systems also need previously registered keys to be addressed as part of the replacement process, so the vehicle details matter from the start.
A replacement can be assessed without a working key to copy.
We start by confirming the key type and security system. Some Vauxhall, Ford and Fiat models use diagnostic-port programming, while certain Peugeot, Citroën and Renault systems involve a BSI module. The aim is a working replacement that starts the vehicle and operates its supported locking functions. Suitability is confirmed before booking and proof of entitlement to the vehicle is required.
The vehicle location and parking access are as important as the key details.
For cars near Verwood Recreation Ground, Potterne or the roads toward nearby Moors Valley, give us the precise parking place rather than only a landmark. Managed parking may need permission. For an Ebblake workplace, share the unit and gate arrangements so we can agree a safe, permitted place for cutting and programming.

A lost car key or one that no longer starts the engine can interrupt work, shopping or a day by the coast. Pro Car Keys Bournemouth provides booked mobile key appointments across Bournemouth, bringing cutting and programming equipment to a suitable parked location rather than asking you to visit a workshop.

Car key problems rarely happen at a convenient moment. A key that won't start the engine or a set of keys that's simply gone missing can bring the day to a halt.

Popular spots
Key replacement has changed as vehicle security has become more complex. Cutting a new blade is only part of the process: the replacement also needs to be recognised by the immobiliser before it will start the engine. Our mobile equipment handles cutting and programming for supported vehicles at the agreed location.
Transponder keys, remote flip keys and smart keys need the right cutting and pairing process.
The key and immobiliser must work together before the car will start. The method varies by manufacturer: many vehicles communicate through the diagnostic port, while others require specialist access to a security module. Systems such as CAS or EIS need the appropriate tools and knowledge. We confirm the approach for your vehicle rather than applying one method to every car.
Programming allows the vehicle's security system to recognise the replacement key as authorised.
BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen and Land Rover models can use sophisticated immobiliser architecture. Security data may be held by a body control module, BSI, dedicated immobiliser or keyless authentication unit. The exact model and year determine whether diagnostic programming or high-security and EEPROM work is needed. We check equipment and parts suitability before arranging the appointment.
Cutting, programming and testing stay with the parked car.
For a vehicle in a car park off Station Road, we check permission, access and enough working space before booking. The van brings the equipment to the agreed location, so a supported replacement can be made without a separate workshop drop-off. Vehicle system and parts requirements are confirmed beforehand.
The alternative to a mobile key appointment may be a main-dealer workshop visit, with transport to arrange if the vehicle cannot be driven. For Verwood drivers, bringing the equipment to the parked car can make the process more practical, subject to the vehicle system and a suitable working location.

Vehicle security work needs diagnostic and programming tools suited to the system. An incompatible procedure can cause additional faults, so we identify the vehicle and explain the appropriate method before starting. High-security systems may need specialist module-level work rather than ordinary diagnostic-port programming.
Your visit is agreed directly with the technician, with the vehicle details checked first.
Verwood town-centre homes, Ebblake Industrial Estate and properties off the B3081 have different access needs. Give us the registration, postcode and any entrance or parking instructions. We confirm a suitable appointment and parts availability rather than promising immediate attendance.
At home or work, the key is made and tested with the vehicle present.
A suitable driveway lets the work take place at home. A workplace space can also be used where your employer permits it and access is available. We agree the location and fixed price before starting, with no need for a separate key-cutting shop visit where the mobile service is suitable.

Reviews
Fantastic job completed. Very professional, organised, efficient. Great communication. Highly recommend.
I cannot recommend them enough. My Transit Custom lock was not turning. I did not know this company and called another locksmith. To cut a long story short the other locksmith attempted a repair and then gave up, leaving me with a van I could no longer use. I called these guys who came out next day; they repaired the damage done by the other locksmith and custom made a replacement ignition barrel so one key still does the doors and the new ignition. I couldn’t be more pleased. Price was very fair too!
From start to finish fantastic service. Called them in the morning and they arrived when they said they would, very polite, explained what was wrong and fixed within the hour. Would thoroughly recommend and was also good value.
Provided a speedy service at a good price after we bought a van that had no spare key, it was a complex job involving an OBD protector which he solved no problem. Would recommend.
Highly recommend! Arranged to come out to us next day. Friendly service and completed job professionally and promptly. Price was great and I can’t fault service. We are left with a second key that works perfectly, which was easy to arrange and a great price. Would recommend to anyone looking for a replacement car key.
Outstanding services, completed 2 jobs for us very quick, many thanks. Top services.
Great service! Was out on time and I now have two functioning car keys.
Amazing job. My key was not readable and he managed to cut a new and a spare and get the central locking working. Would recommend 110%. Quick appointment given and friendly service. Thank you.
Found this guy great, he managed to programme me a new key fob as well as cut a new key for my Clio, reliable, trustworthy and comes back when he says he will! 10/10 recommend.
Excellent job done for me today. 2 sets of keys cut and programmed in short time. Highly recommended as a great job done by a very professional young man.
