Car and ute lockouts
Most cars, utes and 4WDs can be opened without damage to the door, lock or paint. Give us the make, model and year when you call so we bring the right tools.
Lost car keys
Losing every key used to mean a tow to the dealer. A mobile car locksmith can usually cut a new key and program it to the car on site. Most modern keys carry a transponder chip that talks to the immobiliser, so the key has to be programmed before the engine will start. Remotes and push-start keys need programming too.
Work utes and mine vehicles
A lot of Rockhampton households run a work ute, and plenty of people drive out to the mines and sites around Central Queensland. A lost key on a work vehicle costs a day’s pay. We cut and program keys for most common utes and 4WDs and can come to the depot or job site.
Spare keys before you need them
One key is a lockout waiting to happen. A spare cut and programmed now costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost job later.
Worn keys and ignitions
A key that’s cracked, bent or barely turning is worth replacing before it snaps in the ignition. We cut a fresh key from your existing one, extract broken keys from doors and ignitions, and repair or replace worn ignition barrels.
What affects the price
The type of key (plain cut, transponder, remote or smart key), whether you still have a working key, the make, and the time of day. All-keys-lost jobs cost more than copying a key you already have. You get a price on the phone first.
What to have ready
The make, model and year, plus the rego.
Proof of ownership: licence and registration papers. We need this before making a key.
Where the vehicle is, with a landmark if it’s in a big car park or on a site.
Car Locksmith FAQs
Can you make a key if every key is lost?
For most makes, yes. We cut the key to the car’s lock, then program it to the immobiliser. Proof of ownership comes first.
Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealer?
Often, and faster too, with no tow and no waiting for a key to be ordered in. It depends on the make and key type, so it’s worth asking both for a price.
Can you program a remote I bought online?
Sometimes. Plenty of online remotes work, but some have the wrong chip or are poorly made. Give us the part number when you call and we’ll tell you if it’s worth trying.
