With over 20 years of experience and the latest vehicle key programming tools on board, you’re in safe hands with MJS Locksmiths.

Your Local Car Locksmith
Car key issues can be incredibly stressful, especially when you’re left stranded, unable to open or start your vehicle. That’s why we offer a rapid response, fully mobile, same-day service across Hartlepool. We come out directly to your location to cut, program or replace your keys while you wait.
Every van is equipped with main dealer level diagnostic equipment and vehicle key cutting machines, allowing us to do the job at your home, workplace, or even at the roadside. We are always much quicker than a main dealer and we are at least 50% cheaper.
Whether you’re dealing with a key snapped in the ignition, a fob that just won’t respond, or have lost your keys, we’ve got the tools and expertise and knowledge to get it sorted.

Why Customers Continue to Use MJS Auto Locksmiths?
Local, Family-Run Company
We’re not a national call centre or franchise. Our small team has worked across Teesside and County Durham for decades, offering friendly, honest advice, transparent prices, and a personal touch.
MLA Approved
We’re the only MLA-accredited auto locksmith serving Hartlepool. That means we’re regularly inspected, fully vetted, and meet the UK’s strictest industry standards.
Same-Day Mobile Service
No need to visit a garage or pay to have your vehicle transported. We come to you at home, work, or the side of the road. Most jobs are completed in under 1 hour.
Advanced Dealer-Level Tools
We invest in the same top-quality diagnostic and programming tools used by the main dealers, so we can work on all vehicles including the latest models, at a fraction of the cost.

Locked Out of Your Vehicle?
We can safely unlock any vehicle make and model without causing any damage. No smashed windows, no scratches and no damaged door locks. We use professional, non-destructive lock picking techniques and are constantly undergoing training in the latest vehicle entry methods.

Lost Car Keys
Lost your only car key? No problem. We’ll come to your location, decode the key pattern from your existing lock, cut a new key, program it to your vehicle’s immobiliser, and delete the old key from the vehicle’s memory. This ensures only the new keys we provide will now operate the vehicle and the old key can’t be used if someone finds it.
Spare Vehicle Keys
Only got 1 key? Need a second key for peace of mind? We can cut and program duplicate keys and fobs for all makes and models. This includes vehicles that use old fashioned traditional keys, transponder keys, keyless entry systems and remote key fobs.

Car Key Programming
Modern vehicles use complex immobiliser systems that require a correctly programmed key to allow the vehicle to start. At MJS Auto Locksmiths, we use the highest-level code reading and programming equipment to safely and accurately program a wide range of car key types on-site, including:
Remote keys – Standard car keys with built-in central locking buttons
Flip keys – Foldable keys that have a flip out key blade.
Smart keys / proximity fobs – Keyless entry systems that allow you to unlock and start your car without pressing any buttons or inserting a key.
Transponder chip keys – Keys with built in electronic chips that communicate with your car’s immobiliser system.
Our equipment is compatible with all makes and models of vehicles on UK roads, and we’re constantly adding to our equipment and software as new models are released.

Key Fob Repairs & Replacements
If your remote key has stopped working or has been physically damaged, we can either repair it or replace it with a brand-new genuine OEM key. All programmed on site while you wait in under an hour.
Ignition Lock Repair & Replacement
Struggling to insert or turn your key in the ignition? We can often repair it without the need for a full replacement. If a replacement is needed, we’ll fit a new genuine barrel and build it to match your existing keys.
