About Ostan Locksmiths
Locksmith Melbourne for Cars and Motorcycles
Ostan Locksmiths is the locksmith Melbourne drivers and riders call when a vehicle key fails, from a CBD basement to a driveway out past the ring road.
Ostan Locksmiths is a mobile vehicle locksmith working right across Melbourne from a base in Richmond VIC 3121. Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles are the entire trade, so every tool in the van goes into keys, transponders, remotes and ignition barrels.
- 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
Melbourne is a big run for a van, which is why the cutting machine and the diagnostic gear travel with us rather than sitting in a workshop. Tell us where the vehicle is parked, from a CBD basement to a driveway out past the ring road, and we bring the job to it.
Not Sure What Your Vehicle Needs?
Car and Motorcycle Key Help in Melbourne, Day or Night
Keys fail at the worst possible moment. A fob shut in the boot at Chadstone, a smart key that will not wake up in a Docklands car park, an ignition that turns halfway and stops on a Friday night in the city.
- Around the clock attendance, seven days
- Dispatched from Richmond to wherever the vehicle sits in Melbourne
- Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles covered
If the last key is lost rather than locked inside, replacing it is also about keeping the vehicle secure, so old keys are cleared from the immobiliser where the platform allows it.
Our Services
Car and Motorcycle Locksmith Services in Melbourne
Car Key Replacement
Lost the only key to your car, ute or van in Melbourne? 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 Melbourne while you wait, so one misplaced key never becomes a tow truck.
Lost Car Keys and Lockouts
Keys shut in the boot in Melbourne, 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 Melbourne 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 Melbourne.

Common Questions
Car and Motorcycle Key Questions We Get Asked in Melbourne
Clear answers about replacement keys, lockouts, motorcycle keys, pricing and our mobile service in Melbourne.
Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?
Richmond and the inner suburbs are the core patch, including Abbotsford, Collingwood, Fitzroy, Carlton, Kew, Hawthorn, Toorak, South Yarra, Brunswick and Camberwell.
We travel further across greater Melbourne when the job warrants it, so it is always worth asking.
Can you make a car key in Melbourne 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 Melbourne.
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 Melbourne?
We dispatch from Richmond, so Melbourne 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 Melbourne.
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.
