Car Key Replacement & Auto Locksmith for Docklands homes and businesses
Losing the only key to a car is one of the few problems that can strand you completely. Our auto vans carry key blanks, cutting equipment and programming hardware, so in most cases we come to the car rather than the car going anywhere. That includes the harder job — all keys lost, where there is no existing key to clone from.
Why Docklands in particular
Tower living changes the question from what lock you want to what the building permits. Most entry doors are keyed into a master system, and the owners corporation is the first call, not the last.
Getting to you
Our vans work out of Richmond, so Docklands is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Docklands 3008 in full: Dudley Street, Flinders Street and Footscray Road, through to the blocks around Spencer Outlet Centre and The District Docklands.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Docklands and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

Car Key Replacement & Auto Locksmith in Docklands — common questions
How quickly can you get to Docklands for car key replacement & auto locksmith?
30 minutes is the target. Our vans work out of Richmond, so Docklands is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Do I have to tow it to the dealer?
Usually not. For the large majority of makes on Melbourne roads we can cut and program at the kerbside. A tow is the slow, expensive path and it is rarely the necessary one.
What do you need from me?
Photo ID, proof you own the vehicle — registration papers or the certificate of registration — and the VIN. We will not program a key to a car without them, which is precisely what stops someone else doing it to yours.
I still have one key. Is a spare cheaper than waiting?
Cutting a spare while you still have a working key is a much simpler job than an all-keys-lost program. If you are down to one key, that is the moment to get a second one made.
