Which automotive locksmith services are available in Essendon West?
Essendon West is a quiet, established pocket between Essendon and the Maribyrnong River, all leafy streets, older weatherboards and California bungalows, with St Bernard’s College and Essendon West Primary anchoring the community. Buckley Street and Mount Alexander Road carry the traffic through, but once you’re back on your own street it’s the kind of suburb where everyone knows the school run times.
When your car keys let you down here, whether that’s in your driveway, the Cross Keys Reserve car park or outside the school gate, we come to you. Ostan Locksmiths is fully mobile, licensed and insured, and we cut, program and fix car and motorcycle keys at the vehicle, no towing and no waiting around at a shop.
Situations we get called to in Essendon West
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out at Cross Keys Reserve
Training finishes at Cross Keys Reserve and your car is locked with the keys inside while everyone waits in the cold. We come to the reserve and get you back in without any damage.
Keys locked in the boot
You've loaded the shopping from the Buckley Street shops into the boot and the keys have gone in with the bags. We come to you and open the boot on the spot, wherever you're parked.
Dead remote at school pick up
The remote won't unlock your car in the pick up line outside St Bernard's College and traffic is banking up behind you. We come to Rosehill Road and sort a working key on the spot.
Snapped key outside the primary school
Your key snaps off in the door or ignition outside Essendon West Primary on Fletcher Street. We cut and program a new one at the car, no towing needed and no waiting around.
All keys lost near the station
You've walked home from Essendon station along Mount Alexander Road and realised the keys aren't in your bag anywhere. We cut a full new set for your car at wherever it's parked.
Spare key before a flight
Flying out of Melbourne Airport and you don't want to leave your only set of keys with whoever is minding the car. We cut a spare beforehand, at your Essendon West home or driveway.

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.
