- The key problem. Say whether the key is lost, locked inside, broken or no longer starts the vehicle, and whether a second key exists.

Melton Road and Troon Way Through Rushey Mead
Melton Road runs through Rushey Mead, and Rushey Mead Academy stands on it.
Troon Way and Watermead Way meet Melton Road at one junction with traffic signals. Watermead Way runs beside Watermead Country Park.
Gleneagles Avenue is the address of Soar Valley College and of the Rushey Mead Recreation Centre and Library. A driver on a side street names the street first, then whichever of these main roads is nearest.
The Rushey Mead Edge at Watermead and Thurmaston
Watermead Country Park South stands on the northern edge of Leicester. The southern part of the park carries the postcode LE4 7RN, and Alderton Close and Watermead Way are the roads beside it. For a vehicle at the park, name the road used to drive in. Access to the vehicle is confirmed on the call.
Thurmaston and Birstall adjoin Rushey Mead at the county boundary. Thurmaston is a civil parish in the Borough of Charnwood and shares the LE4 postcode district, so the postcode district alone does not separate the two. Say the village name on the call when the vehicle is over the boundary.

Four situations sit beside a standard Rushey Mead call out, and each one changes what is said on the call.
Superstore Car Park Compared With a Home Driveway
Comparison. A car on a superstore car park and a car on a Rushey Mead driveway receive the same work from the same locksmith.
Differences. On a car park the driver is away from home, and the documents and any second key are elsewhere. A driver locked out of a car names the row of the car park when the key is shut inside. On a driveway the house number places the vehicle and the documents are indoors.
Similarities. In both places supported key and entry work is carried out where the vehicle stands, identity and authority to request the work are checked, and a quote is agreed before work begins.
Effects. Saying on the call where the documents are lets the identity and authority check be settled before Matt sets off.
Vans Parked at a Business Unit or Yard
A van at a business unit in Rushey Mead is placed by the unit letter or name and the company name, not by the postcode alone.
Replacement van keys are a separate service, and a van with a separate load area lock is described on the call. Access to a gated yard in LE4 is confirmed on the call.
One Key Households and the Spare Key
A household in Rushey Mead with a single working key is one loss away from a car that does not move. Spare car keys are made at the home address while the working key is on hand, which is the opposite state to a lost key call out.
Thurmaston and Birstall Sit Beyond the City Boundary
Rushey Mead adjoins both Thurmaston and Birstall at the city boundary. Both are civil parishes in the Borough of Charnwood, in Leicestershire.
Matt is with you within the hour in Leicester, and the same day across Leicestershire. A driver in either parish gives the place name first. Thurmaston shares the LE4 postcode district, so the postcode district alone does not place the call outside Rushey Mead.
