Which automotive locksmith services are available in Richmond?
Richmond is a tight grid of trams, one way streets and packed shopping strips, from the boutiques and factory outlets along Bridge Road to the restaurants on Swan Street and the Vietnamese shops on Victoria Street. Add match day traffic around the MCG, commuters pouring out of Richmond Station and shoppers circling for a space at IKEA, and it does not take much for a key to go missing, snap in the ignition or lock itself in the boot.
Ostan Locksmiths is a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so we come to your car wherever it has let you down in Richmond, on a side street off Church Street, in the Victoria Gardens car park or outside Epworth Hospital. We cut and program car and motorcycle keys, sort transponder chips and smart keys, replace dead remotes and fobs, cut spares and get you back into a locked vehicle, all done at the car.
Situations we get called to in Richmond
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out on Bridge Road
Popped into a shop on Bridge Road and the doors locked behind you with the keys still on the seat. We come straight to you and get the car open without any damage to the locks or paintwork.
All keys lost near Victoria Street
Finished dinner on Victoria Street and the keys are nowhere to be found, not in a bag, not on the table. We cut and program a new key from scratch at your car, no spare needed.
Dead fob at Richmond Station
Your remote has stopped unlocking the car in the Richmond Station car park and peak hour commuters are staring. We reprogram or replace the fob on the spot so you can drive home.
Snapped key after Punt Road traffic
A worn key finally snaps off in the ignition after another slow crawl up Punt Road. We extract the broken piece and cut a fresh key at the car, no tow truck required.
Keys locked in the boot at IKEA
Flat pack furniture loaded and the keys have gone in with it, boot shut tight in the IKEA Richmond car park. We open the vehicle without forcing the boot or damaging the trim.
Spare key before a Tigers game
Heading to the footy at the MCG and want a spare key in someone else's pocket before you go. We cut and program a genuine spare at your Richmond address, ready in time.
