Situations we get called to across Melbourne
Real calls, real car parks. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out in a CBD car park
Keys on the seat, three levels underground? We work in parking garages all over the city and open cars without damage.
Keys lost at the shopping centre
Searched Chadstone or Highpoint top to bottom with no luck? We cut and program a brand new key right there in the car park.
Dead remote after a trip away
Back at long-term parking and the fob will not unlock the car? We test, replace and pair remotes at the vehicle.
Boot shut on your keys
Keys in the boot at school pickup, kids in tow. We retrieve locked keys quickly and without a scratch.
Ute will not start at the job site
A worn key or ignition trouble mid shift costs you money. We come to the site and get you turning over again.
Snapped or worn key
Key snapped in the door or the ignition? We extract the broken piece and cut a fresh key to code.
Emergency vehicle lockouts across Melbourne
Keys locked inside the cabin, a boot shut on your keys, or a key that will not turn? We open vehicles without damage and get you moving again, from CBD parking garages to shopping centre and station car parks right across Melbourne.

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 Melbourne.
Your make, model and year, your Melbourne suburb, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across the Melbourne metro area. 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.
Call 0410 380 354, email michael@ostanlock.com.au or use the enquiry form, and we will get straight back to you.
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, because an all-keys-lost job needs extra programming. 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. From CBD parking garages to centres like Chadstone and Highpoint, we regularly work in shopping centre, station and workplace car parks. Just note the car park name, level and bay when you contact us.
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.
