The Purrfect Cat Ladies Many of you will be familiar with Mark Chapman from local business Klic-Key. e ‘Klic’ of Klic-Key stands for Keys Locked In Car, although it’s as likely to be lost keys that Klic-Key have to deal with. Mark assists people across Hampshire, Dorset and Wiltshire who have, for some reason or another, got themselves into car trouble. Klic-Key regularly assist the AA, RAC and Green Flag in helping their members gain access to their cars in a non-destructive manner. Klic-Key is an independent company with over 30 years’ experience in the motor trade. It doesn’t have the overheads of the national companies so the savings are passed on to you. Mark is able to travel to wherever you are to get you out of trouble. e most common call out for Mark is when the only key has been le within the vehicle, and the vehicle has been locked, usually by the car itself ‘thinking’ it has been le unlocked and abandoned. Having a second key would have saved a locksmith call out for non-destructive entry. Also, if anything happens to the only key then the vehicle essentially becomes a paperweight. A spare key is roughly half the price of replacing the only key so, while you have that one working key, check your spare! If needed, Mark can make one for you, o en on the spot. Another bugbear of Mark’s is the peril of keyless ignition systems, and those that wish to exploit them. Mark recommends, and can provide, Faraday pouches to shield your key’s signals from any ne’erdowells out there. So, for a friendly, polite and professional service, talk to Mark at Klic-Key using the contact details in the featured member box, opposite.
