Which automotive locksmith services are available in Box Hill?
Box Hill is one of the busiest pockets of Melbourne’s east, with Box Hill Central, the train and tram interchange, Box Hill Hospital and Box Hill Institute all pulling traffic through the same few streets off Whitehorse Road. With that much coming and going, a locked car door or a key that won’t turn always seems to happen at the worst moment, whether you’re rushing for a train, parked on a hospital visit, or squeezed into a bay at the shopping centre car park.
We come straight to your car wherever it’s parked in Box Hill, whether that’s a multi-level car park, a side street near the station, or your own driveway. Fully mobile, licensed and insured, we cut and program car and motorcycle keys, replace remotes and fobs, make spares and get you back into a locked vehicle, all done at the car itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
Car key replacement, lost car keys, spare and duplicate keys, key cutting and programming, remote and key-fob replacement, and mobile vehicle lockouts, all fully mobile across Box Hill.
Your make, model and year, your Box Hill street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Box Hill and the surrounding suburbs. We are a fully mobile service and do not operate a walk-in shopfront.
Yes. For most cars we can create a brand new key on site, even when every key is lost. Have your ID and proof of ownership ready.
It depends on the key type. A basic cut key costs less than a transponder key, and proximity smart keys sit at the top of the range. Whether a working key remains also matters. Call 0410 380 354 with your make, model and year and we will give you a clear price before we head your way.
Usually, yes. A dealership generally needs the car towed in and can take days to order and code a key. We come to your vehicle, cut and program the key on site in a single visit, and you skip the tow entirely.
Yes. We regularly help drivers locked out at the Box Hill Central car park and at the Box Hill station car park, and we come straight to your level or bay rather than asking you to move the car.
Often, yes. A flat battery is the most common cause and is a quick, inexpensive fix. If the remote still fails with a fresh battery, the fob may need reprogramming or a replacement, and we can do either at your vehicle.
Call 0410 380 354, email michael@ostanlock.com.au or use the enquiry form, and we will get straight back to you.
