Which automotive locksmith services are available in Fitzroy?
Fitzroy runs on tight terrace streets, permit zones and metered bays, and if you’ve circled Brunswick Street or Gertrude Street looking for a park, you know there’s rarely room to spare. Between the cafe strip, the ACU campus, St Vincent’s Hospital and the Atherton Gardens estate, cars get squeezed into tiny gaps, and that’s exactly where lockouts, snapped keys and dead remotes tend to happen.
We’re a fully mobile automotive locksmith, so we don’t ask you to find us. Wherever your car is in Fitzroy, from a 1P spot on Smith Street to a laneway off Napier Street, we drive to you, licensed and insured, and sort the lockout, the lost key or the fob right there at the vehicle.

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 Fitzroy.
Your make, model and year, your Fitzroy street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Fitzroy 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 meet drivers at the Rose Street car park near the Artists’ Market, in a loading zone off Gertrude Street, or in a metered bay on Brunswick Street. Just send us your location and we’ll find you.
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.
