What we do

Key Cutting — what’s included

  • House, door & garage keys
  • Padlock, window & cabinet keys
  • Security & dimple keys
  • Car & motorbike keys cut
  • Cut & checked while you wait
  • Both Hedge End & Park Gate stores

Spare keys, cut right first time

A badly cut key is worse than no key at all — it can jam or wear your lock. We cut on well-maintained machines and check each key, so it works smoothly first time — house, door, padlock, garage, window and cabinet keys, plus a wide range of security and dimple keys. Just pop into the Hedge End locksmith or the Park Gate locksmith during opening hours — no appointment needed.

Car & motorbike keys — cut, not programmed

Need a spare car or motorbike key, or a replacement for one that’s worn and starting to stick? Bring your original in and we’ll cut a fresh metal key while you wait. One thing to know: we cut the physical key, we don’t program transponder chips or remote fobs — so if your key needs electronic coding to your vehicle you’ll need a dealer or auto-locksmith for that part. If it still turns and unlocks but is just worn, a fresh cut is all it needs.

Doors, windows & a spare for everyone

New tenants, family members, cleaners, a spare for the neighbour — there are plenty of reasons for an extra key. We also help with the locks themselves: if a door or window won’t lock properly or you want to change a lock to a system you can get keys for easily, just ask. And if you’ve lost your only key and you’re locked out, call us and we’ll get you back in and cut replacements on the spot — all part of the service at Solent Locksmiths.

Good to know

Key Cutting — your questions

Do I need an appointment to get keys cut?

No — just walk into either store during opening hours and we’ll cut them while you wait.

Do you cut car and motorbike keys?

Yes — we cut mechanical car and motorbike keys from your existing key while you wait. We cut the metal key itself; we don’t program transponder chips or remote fobs, so a key that needs electronic coding to the vehicle would need a dealer or auto-locksmith.

What kinds of key can you cut?

House, door, padlock, garage, window and cabinet keys, many security and dimple keys, plus car and motorbike keys. Bring the original in and we’ll let you know.

Can you cut security or restricted keys?

We cut a wide range of security keys. Some restricted keys can only be copied with the owner’s authority — pop in and we’ll advise on the best route.

How much does it cost to get a key cut?

Key cutting is one of the most affordable things we do — and often cheaper than you’d expect for a quality cut that works first time. Pop into either store and we’ll tell you the price before we cut, with no appointment needed.
