Car Locksmith in Elmdon
Car Locksmith Solihull serves Elmdon in the B37 area, 24 hours a day. Travellers locked out near Birmingham Airport, drivers who have lost a key after a flight, and households needing a spare key are all covered. Ring 07367 634032 and the locksmith will come to the car.
Elmdon sits beside Birmingham Airport, and the airport shapes its car key work more than anything else in the area. Travellers return from flights to find the keys locked in the car or lost somewhere along the journey, and the call comes from an airport car park or from a street in Elmdon itself. The locksmith travels to the car and opens it there.
Inside Elmdon, the calls are quieter: family cars outside homes near Elmdon Park, a key mislaid on the school run, or a fob that fails in the morning. The area is small and the streets are close together, so the locksmith covers the whole of Elmdon from the airport edge to the park.

Airport traveller lockouts in Elmdon
A traveller lockout is the Elmdon classic: the flight lands, the driver reaches the car, and the keys are locked inside it or lost in the terminal. The locksmith drives to the car park and opens the car beside the vehicle, with entry that avoids damage wherever possible. Say which car park and which level or zone you are in when you ring, and give the make and model of the car.
The NEC and airport lockout page explains the traveller steps in full, including what to have ready when you ring. Lost keys are a different job: the replacement is made from the car locks and immobiliser, with no original key needed, and coded through the OBD port.
Lost car keys near the airport
Losing a car key on a journey is worse than losing it at home, because the car is parked far from the house and the keys could be anywhere along the route. A replacement car key is made from the car locks and immobiliser, with no original key needed. The V5C logbook and photo ID come first, so ownership is proved before anything is cut.
It is also worth asking whether the lost key can be taken out of the car memory, so it no longer works as a key. The answer depends on the make, model, and year of the car. The proof of ownership page explains the documents in full.
Elmdon streets and the airport edge
Elmdon is one of the areas we cover across Solihull, and neighbouring Marston Green and Chelmsley Wood are covered too. The residential streets, the roads around Elmdon Park, and the airport edge are all covered, along with the wider B37 area. When you ring, say whether the car is at home, in an airport car park, or on a street near the airport.
A spare key is the job that prevents most emergencies in Elmdon. The locksmith copies the working key and codes the copy to the car at the house, and the new key is tried with you on the drive. A spare kept somewhere safe at home suits two-driver households best.
