Key Cutting & Duplication in East Melbourne
Accurate spare keys for homes, businesses and vehicles — cut on site, tested before we leave. Covering East Melbourne 3002 and the surrounding Inner East, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Key Cutting & Duplication for East Melbourne homes and businesses
A badly cut key does not fail immediately. It works for a month, wears the pins in your cylinder, and then strands you. We cut to the original specification, on calibrated machines, and we test every key in the lock it is meant for before handing it over.
Why East Melbourne in particular
Most of the housing stock is single or double-fronted period terraces. Their original doors take mortice locks rather than the tubular deadbolts sold in hardware shops, and the frames have usually moved enough that the strike matters as much as the lock. Common-property entry doors on these blocks have usually been rekeyed piecemeal over decades, so the key a resident holds and the key the building thinks is current are frequently not the same thing.
Getting to you
Our vans work out of Richmond, so East Melbourne is a straightforward run at most hours. It is a compact suburb, and the whole of it is within a few minutes of the same main roads. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in East Melbourne and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the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.

Key Cutting — what customers say
Illustrative examples — real reviews replace these at launch.
“Cut spares for the whole family and tested every one in the lock before he left. The last place I used gave me keys that jammed within a month.”
“My original was badly worn and he cut to the code rather than copying the worn blade. The new one turns better than the old one did.”
“Needed extra restricted keys for the office. Checked I was on the signatory list first, which is the entire reason we went restricted.”

Key Cutting & Duplication in East Melbourne — common questions
How quickly can you get to East Melbourne for key cutting & duplication?
30 minutes is the target. Our vans work out of Richmond, so East Melbourne is a straightforward run at most hours. It is a compact suburb, and the whole of it is within a few minutes of the same main roads. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Can you copy a key stamped 'do not duplicate'?
Not without authorisation. If it is a restricted key, copies can only be cut for a registered signatory on that system — which is exactly the protection you paid for when it was installed.
My original key is worn. Will the copy be worse?
A copy of a worn key inherits the wear and then adds to it. Where possible we cut to the original code rather than tracing the worn blade, which gives you a key that fits like the first one did.
