About Ostan Locksmiths
Locksmith Kew for Cars and Motorcycles
Ostan Locksmiths is the locksmith Kew turns to when a car or motorcycle key is lost, snapped, or no longer starts the vehicle.
Ostan Locksmiths is a mobile vehicle locksmith covering Kew from a base in Richmond, a short run north-east across the Yarra. Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles are the whole trade, so the van is packed for keys, transponders, remotes and ignitions rather than building hardware.
- Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles only
- Key blanks, cutting equipment and programming tools travel in the van
- Transponder chips matched to the immobiliser, not just a blade cut from a blank
- New keys originated from the vehicle identification number with proof of ownership
- An honest answer on repair versus replacement before any work starts
Kew is a suburb of long driveways, tight rear lanes and busy shopping strip parking around Kew Junction and High Street. All of it is easier to work at than to tow away from, which is why the cutting machine and diagnostic gear come to the vehicle.
Not Sure What Your Vehicle Needs?
Car and Motorcycle Key Help in Kew, Day or Night
A smart key that will not wake up outside the shops on High Street, a fob shut in the boot at a Cotham Road school pickup, an ignition that turns halfway and stops in a driveway off Studley Park Road.
- Around the clock attendance, seven days
- Dispatched from Richmond to wherever the vehicle sits in Kew
- Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles covered
When the last key is lost rather than locked inside, the replacement is also a security job, so where the platform allows it we clear the missing key from the immobiliser at the same visit.
Our Services
Car and Motorcycle Locksmith Services in Kew
Car Key Replacement
Lost the only key to your car, ute or van in Kew? We cut and code a replacement where the vehicle is parked, covering plain blades, transponder keys, flip keys and proximity smart keys.
Car Key Cutting and Spare Keys
A spare cut today costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost callout later. We cut and code second keys in Kew while you wait, so one misplaced key never becomes a tow truck.
Lost Car Keys and Lockouts
Keys shut in the boot in Kew, or gone altogether? We open the vehicle without damage and originate a new key on the spot once ownership checks out.
Car Ignition Repair
A key that will not turn, or turns and does nothing, is usually a worn barrel or a damaged key rather than a dead car. We diagnose and repair ignitions in Kew without a tow.
Motorcycle Locksmith
Bike work sits alongside car work rather than behind it. Lost sets, cut and coded spares, chipped keys and ignition barrels for road bikes, scooters and off-road machines in Kew.

Common Questions
Car and Motorcycle Key Questions We Get Asked in Kew
Clear answers about replacement keys, lockouts, motorcycle keys, pricing and our mobile service in Kew.
Do you cover all of Kew and the streets around Kew Junction?
Yes. We work across the whole suburb, from Studley Park and the Yarra edge through to Cotham Road, High Street and the Kew Junction shops, and on into Kew East.
Neighbouring Hawthorn, Balwyn, Deepdene and Camberwell are all part of the same run.
Can you make a car key in Kew if every key is lost?
Yes. With proof of ownership and photo identification we originate a brand new key from your vehicle identification number, cut it and pair it to the immobiliser wherever the vehicle is parked in Kew.
An all-keys-lost job takes longer than copying a working key, so mention it when you call and we will allow the time.
How quickly can you reach Kew?
We dispatch from Richmond, so Kew is a short run and we are usually with you inside the hour outside peak traffic.
We will give you an honest arrival window on the phone rather than a number designed to keep you waiting.
Do you cut motorcycle keys as well as car keys?
Yes. We cut and code motorcycle keys, replace lost sets, program chipped keys and repair or replace ignition barrels for most road, cruiser, scooter and off-road machines.
Bike work is a core part of what we do, not an afterthought.
What will a new key cost?
It depends on the make, model and year, whether the key is a plain blade, a transponder, a remote or a proximity smart key, whether any working key survives, and the hour of the day.
Give us your registration when you get in touch and we will quote before we drive out, so there are no surprises at the kerbside.
Do I need the vehicle towed anywhere?
No, and there is nowhere to tow it to. Ostan Locksmiths is a mobile vehicle locksmith with no shopfront, so the work happens wherever the car or bike already sits in Kew.
Can you open a locked car without damaging it?
Non-destructive entry is the standard approach and it is what we aim for on every lockout.
We will not open a vehicle without evidence that you are entitled to it, so have your licence and ownership details ready when we arrive.
What do you not do?
We do not work on houses, offices, shopfronts or any building locks. Ostan Locksmiths is a vehicle key specialist and nothing else.
If it has wheels and a key, an immobiliser or a remote, it is ours. If it has a front door, it is not.
