Fleet Key Management
East Yorkshire
Running a fleet of vans — and the key chaos that comes with it? We manage vehicle keys for plumbers, builders, couriers, taxi firms, and councils across East Yorkshire.
Multi-vehicle key replacement, stolen-key re-secure, scheduled audits, priority emergency SLA. Trade accounts with monthly invoicing. One locksmith who knows your fleet — not a different subcontractor every time.
What We Do for Fleet Customers
This isn't just "cutting keys" — it's keeping your vehicles on the road and your drivers working.
Multi-Vehicle Key Replacement
Need keys for 3, 5, or 20 vehicles? We'll come to your yard or depot and cut & programme keys for every vehicle on the same visit. Discount per key when doing 3+ — saves you time and money vs calling us out separately for each one.
Stolen Key — Full Fleet Re-Secure
If a set of fleet keys is stolen — or an ex-employee hasn't returned them — we delete every missing key from the immobilisers and programme fresh ones. Your vehicles are secure same-day. No dealer delay, no waiting for parts.
Scheduled Key Audits
We visit quarterly or biannually to check every vehicle key, test all remotes, replace dying batteries, and verify there's a working spare for each vehicle. You get a report showing exactly which vehicles have keys and which don't. No surprises when someone loses the only key to the van they need for a 7am job.
Fleet Lock & Ignition Maintenance
Preventive maintenance on ignition barrels and door locks across the fleet. Coastal salt and heavy use kill commercial vehicle locks faster than anything. A 15-minute service per vehicle prevents breakdowns and lockouts that cost you jobs.
Priority Emergency SLA
Fleet account holders get priority response — we're on-site within 60 minutes for any key emergency. If one of your vans is dead in a customer's driveway with a snapped key at 8am, we drop what we're doing and get it running. Your drivers aren't sitting idle billing you waiting time.
Trade Account — Monthly Billing
No need to pay on the day with cash or card. Trade accounts get monthly invoicing (30-day terms), detailed job sheets for your records, and a dedicated phone number that goes straight to the locksmith — not a call centre. One point of contact who knows your fleet.
Fleets We Already Work With
Different trades have different key problems. Here's what we see across the sectors.
Plumbing & Heating
VW Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro
Keys lost on-site or in customer houses. Vans packed with tools — a lockout means a missed job and an insecure van full of expensive kit.
Building & Construction
Ford Transit, Mitsubishi L200, Toyota Hilux, pickups
Keys dropped in wet concrete, lost on muddy sites, snapped in ignition barrels by cold hands. Ignition barrels wear faster from dirty keys.
Courier & Delivery
Ford Transit Connect, Peugeot Partner, Citroën Berlingo, car-derived vans
Highest key turnover — drivers in and out 50+ times a day. Keys wear faster, remotes die sooner, lock barrels get sloppy. Spare key on the depot board saves a route failure.
Taxi & Private Hire
Toyota Prius, Skoda Octavia, VW Passat, Peugeot 508
Licensing requirements often need two working keys. A lost key at 11pm on a Friday means lost weekend revenue. Priority SLA gets them back on the rank.
Care & Community Transport
Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato, Renault Master, minibuses
Accessibility vehicles with tail-lift — lockout means vulnerable clients stranded. Need guaranteed response and sensitivity around service users.
Local Authority & Council
Mixed fleets — vans, pool cars, groundskeeping vehicles
Multiple departments, multiple key types. Centralised key audits and purchase-order invoicing. We work with several East Yorkshire councils.
Setting Up a Trade Account
It takes 5 minutes and costs nothing. Here's how it works.
Call or fill in the quote form
Tell us about your fleet — how many vehicles, what makes/models, and what you need (spare keys, audit, emergency cover). We'll give you a fixed price schedule.
We visit your depot or yard
We'll come to you at a time that suits — early morning, evening, weekend. Cut and programme keys for every vehicle in one visit. No need to bring vehicles to us.
You get a trade account
Monthly invoicing, 30-day terms, detailed job sheets for your accountant. A direct phone number to our locksmith — no 0800 call centre, no subcontractor lottery.
Ongoing — we keep your fleet keyed up
Scheduled audits, proactive battery changes, priority emergency response. When a driver calls at 7am with a snapped key, we're on the road within 15 minutes.
Your Fleet Can't Afford
Key Downtime
Every hour a van sits idle with a lost key is an hour of lost revenue, a missed job, and a frustrated driver. Let's get your fleet key management sorted — starting with a free audit of what you've got.
