About  us

          Welcome to T-key locksmiths .
It all started when a passion for a hobby grew in to its own business ; me and my son started out picking locks as a hobby. We started cutting keys for friends and family and as time went on we started cutting keys for friends of friends and their families too. Helping to get every one back in to their houses when they locked their keys inside or lost them.
        As we grew in popularity we started to cut keys on markets and car boots, this helped us with the cost of keeping up to date with the machinery needed to make car keys and transponders with professional training as well. Now we are able to offer a complete locksmith service to help everyone.
        We soon realised that is what we like to do most ; to help you when you have lost the keys or got locked out of your house or car.
