About Ostan Locksmiths
Locksmith South Yarra for Cars and Motorcycles
Ostan Locksmiths is the locksmith South Yarra residents call when keys end up shut in an apartment basement or lost somewhere off Chapel Street.
Ostan Locksmiths covers South Yarra from Richmond, a couple of minutes across the river. We are a vehicle locksmith only, working on cars, utes, vans and motorcycles, so the van is loaded for keys, remotes, transponders 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
A lot of South Yarra parking is apartment basements and short-stay bays off Chapel Street and Toorak Road. Those are difficult places to tow out of and easy places for us to work in, which is the whole argument for a mobile locksmith.
Not Sure What Your Vehicle Needs?
Car and Motorcycle Key Help in South Yarra, Day or Night
Keys shut in a boot in a Chapel Street car park, a scooter key lost on a night out, a remote that has stopped talking to the car in an apartment basement off Punt Road.
- Around the clock attendance, seven days
- Dispatched from Richmond to wherever the vehicle sits in South Yarra
- Cars, utes, vans and motorcycles covered
When the last key is lost rather than locked inside, the replacement doubles as a security job, so the missing key is cleared from the immobiliser wherever the platform allows it.
Our Services
Car and Motorcycle Locksmith Services in South Yarra
Car Key Replacement
Lost the only key to your car, ute or van in South Yarra? 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 South Yarra while you wait, so one misplaced key never becomes a tow truck.
Lost Car Keys and Lockouts
Keys shut in the boot in South Yarra, 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 South Yarra 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 South Yarra.

Common Questions
Car and Motorcycle Key Questions We Get Asked in South Yarra
Clear answers about replacement keys, lockouts, motorcycle keys, pricing and our mobile service in South Yarra.
Can you get into an apartment basement car park in South Yarra?
Yes, provided you or building management can let us through the roller door or gate. Basement work is very common here and everything we need runs off the van.
Let us know the building access arrangements when you call so there is no delay once we arrive.
Can you make a car key in South Yarra 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 South Yarra.
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 South Yarra?
We dispatch from Richmond, so South Yarra 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 South Yarra.
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.
