About us

An automotive locksmith is a different trade to a general locksmith. Modern car keys are part mechanical, part electronic — a blade that has to match the lock, and a chip that has to be accepted by the car's immobiliser. Get either half wrong and the key opens the door but won't start the engine.

Because we only work on vehicles, we carry the diagnostic gear and the key stock for the makes on Australian roads, and we keep both current as manufacturers change their systems.

A key copied from one that's been in a pocket for ten years inherits every bit of that wear, and each copy after it drifts a little further from the original.

We cut to the key code tied to your VIN instead — the pattern your car left the factory with. It means we can cut a key with no original at all, and the result is often a better fit than the one you've been turning for years.

You'll find us at 811 Logan Rd, Holland Park West, open Monday to Saturday, 8:00am to 4:00pm. Drop in with the car and most jobs are done while you wait.

Calling ahead with your make, model and year — or just the rego — lets us confirm the right key is on the shelf before you make the trip.

If the car can't come to us, the mobile team covers Brisbane for cutting, programming and lockouts.

Coverage depends on where the vans are at the time, so a quick call on 0404 532 049 is the fastest way to find out if we can reach you right now.

We confirm what the job costs before we start, so there's no surprise at the counter. Every key we cut and program carries a 12-month warranty, whether the work happened at the workshop or in your driveway.

We accept Afterpay, Zip, Visa, Mastercard and American Express.
