Which automotive locksmith services are available in Travancore?
Travancore is one of Melbourne’s smallest suburbs, a quiet pocket of brick unit blocks and low-rise flats squeezed between Flemington Racecourse and the Tullamarine Freeway. There’s no real shopping strip of its own, most people park on the street outside their block or duck round to Racecourse Road or Mount Alexander Road for anything bigger, and a lot of cars here sit under carports rather than in a garage.
When a key snaps, a fob dies or you’re standing outside your own car with the keys locked inside, you don’t want to be organising a tow across town. Ostan Locksmiths comes to you, wherever you’re parked in Travancore, fully equipped to cut, program and get you back in the car on the spot.
Situations we get called to in Travancore
Real calls, real streets. If one of these sounds like your day, we can fix it at the car.
Locked out at the Racecourse car park
Parked up for a market day or raceday at Flemington Racecourse and the door's locked with the keys inside? We come straight to the car park and get you back in without damaging the vehicle.
Lost your keys near Travancore Reserve
Out walking the dog along the creek trail near Travancore Reserve and the keys are gone? We cut a new car key from scratch and cancel the old one so it can't start your car.
Fob died near the Royal Children's Hospital
Parked near the hospital in Parkville and the remote won't unlock the car? We come to you, reprogram or replace the fob and get you back on the road without a tow.
Snapped key at an old unit block
A lot of Travancore's brick unit blocks still have original locks that wear keys down over time. If yours has snapped off in the door or ignition, we cut a fresh replacement on the spot.
Keys locked in the boot after shopping
Loaded up the shopping from the Kensington or Flemington strip and the boot's locked with your keys inside? We open it without a scratch and have you loaded up and moving again.
Need a spare before a flight out of Tullamarine
Heading up the freeway to the airport and only have the one key? We cut and program a spare before you leave, so a lost key overseas doesn't strand your car at home.

Your make, model and year, your Travancore street, and a short description of the key problem.
Yes. We are fully mobile and work at your vehicle anywhere across Travancore 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 attend the public car park at Flemington Racecourse, right on Travancore’s doorstep, for lockouts and dead fobs after market days and race meets. We also come straight to your own car park or driveway at any of the unit blocks around Travancore, no need to move the vehicle first.
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.
