Car Lockouts
Locked out of your car, or need a key made? I come to you, at home, at work or roadside anywhere in HRM. Before I set off I will ask for your year, make and model so I turn up with the right equipment for your vehicle.
Lost Every Key
No key at all is the job people assume needs a dealer and a tow. Most of the time I can cut and program a new one at the car and you drive away on it.​
Key Fobs and Spare Keys
Fobs, remotes and push to start keys, programmed at the vehicle. If you bought a fob yourself I will program it, and there are a couple of things worth knowing before you buy one.​
Ignition Repair
Key will not turn, or turns part way and stops. That is the lock cylinder rather than the switch, and there are four ways to fix it at four different prices. Rekeying a new ignition to the key you already carry is on the same page.​
Broken Key Extraction
Key snapped off in the door or the ignition. Leave it where it is, do not reach for pliers or glue, and call.​
Why I Can Work on Modern Vehicles
Most cars on the road now will not start on a key that has only been cut. The key has to be programmed to the immobiliser, and that takes security data the manufacturer does not hand out to just anyone.
​
I am registered with NASTF, the National Automotive Service Task Force. It runs the registry that vets locksmiths for access to manufacturer key and security data. Being on that registry is what lets me make keys for modern cars instead of sending you to a dealer, and it also lets me order an original key through the manufacturer when a vehicle needs one.
​
It is not something every locksmith has, and without it a good deal of this work has to go to a dealership.
Why I Ask About Your Car First
Automotive work is not one size fits all. Different vehicles need different equipment, and not every job can be done at the roadside.
​
Tell me the year, make and model when you call and I will tell you what the job is before either of us has spent anything. Two minutes on the phone means I turn up with the right kit rather than turning up and finding out.
Where I Come
Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, Sackville, Cole Harbour, Eastern Passage, Fall River and the rest of HRM. Also East Hants and West Hants including Windsor, Mount Uniacke, Enfield and Shubenacadie.
​
​If there is a travel charge for where you are, I will tell you on the phone before I set off.
Why Call S.E.S?
It is one person. Me. You get me on the phone, I am the one who turns up, and the price I quote on the phone is the price you pay.
​
Fully insured, WCB covered and HST registered.
​
Before locksmithing I worked as a mechanic, a shipbuilding carpenter and in fiberglass. Locks and ignitions are mechanical things, and that background is most of why I am comfortable inside them.
Call Me Anytime
Call or text with the year, make and model and what the car is doing. Available anytime.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which of these do I need?
Tell me what the car is doing and I will tell you. Locked out with the keys inside is a lockout. No key at all is key replacement. A key that will not turn is usually the ignition. If you are not sure, describe it on the phone.
Q: Do you come to me?
​Yes. Home, work, parking lot or roadside. There is no shop to bring it to and you do not need a tow.
Q: What do you need to know when I call?
The year, make and model, and what the car is doing. If you can read the VIN off the dash or the door jamb, better again.
Q: What is NASTF?
The National Automotive Service Task Force. It runs the registry that vets locksmiths for access to manufacturer key and security data. Being on that registry is what lets me make keys for modern vehicles, and order an original key through the manufacturer when a car needs one. I registered in 2026.
Q: Can you do every vehicle?
No. Most I handle at the car the same day, some need a part or a key ordered in first, and there are some I will not take on. Tell me the year, make and model and I will give you a straight answer.
Q: What areas do you cover?
All of HRM, plus East Hants and West Hants. If there is a travel charge for where you are, you will hear it on the phone before I set off.
