Prizes, Deals and Demos - Hickleys Simply Keys 2026
At Hickleys we are great believers in face-to-face interactions with our customers and as such we attend a number of trade shows throughout the year. Right now, our attention has very much turned to ‘Simply Keys’ our Auto-Locksmithing show, which takes place this year on the weekend of 22nd and 23rd August.
If you are not familiar, Simply Keys is held annually in the midlands and run by our own show staff, with some select supplier partners. The show is a great opportunity for Auto Locksmiths to see first-hand, the latest hardware and software advances in the industry. We also bring along a plethora of tools and equipment that may be of interest to Auto Locksmiths.
One of the biggest parts of the show that draws in locksmiths year after year is our show deals and special offers. We often knock £1000’s off the price of our top-level key programming devices and key cutting machines. There will be deals on LIFs and UTP plans (unlimited use plans) and tokens. We also reach deep into the back of our stock room and bring along many clearance items, and sell them off at knock down prices. Combine this with lots of key, remote and transponder special offers and you can walk away from the show fully stocked, having saved a bundle!
During the show Hickleys and our partners will be running regular key programming demos, showing the new capabilities of our Key Programming units. This is a great opportunity to see just how versatile the Key Programming units are that Hickleys supply.
But the show is not just about products! It is equally about getting together and catching up with our loyal customers new and old. We always inject lots of fun into the show with our Hickleys games and competitions. This year our prize fund is £20,000 and there will be plenty of useful products up for grabs as well as some fun prizes too. There will also be refreshments available so feel free to grab a drink and have a chat with our friendly team members.
The show takes place at the GTG Training Centre, Wolverhampton, WV11 3SZ on Saturday 22nd August (2026) from 10am – 4pm and Sunday 23rd August (2026) from 10am until 3pm.
