We cut and program bakkie, truck and fleet keys on site, and we sort commercial locks in Bluewater Bay Industrial
The industrial side of Bluewater Bay sits far enough from the middle of town that getting a vehicle recovered is a genuine expense before anybody has even looked at the problem. That is the main reason businesses out here call a mobile locksmith rather than arranging a tow.
We come to the premises. Bakkies, trucks and light commercials get sorted where they are parked, and the vehicle goes back to work the same day rather than the same week.
Fleet keys are the bulk of the vehicle work. Drivers change, keys go missing off site, and vehicles run for years on a single key that nobody has ever copied. We cut and code replacements at your gate, and we can do several in one visit.
Losing every key to a vehicle is still a same visit job. Lost car key replacement means we read the code off the vehicle, cut a fresh key on the spot and program it so the engine starts. Chip keys get coded to the immobiliser through our transponder programming, done on site.
Being this close to the water does something else worth knowing about. Salt air works its way into padlocks, roller door mechanisms and gate locks far faster out here than it does inland. Things seize, keys start needing force, and eventually something breaks at the worst moment. Getting it seen early keeps it cheap.
On the building side we handle warehouse doors, office locks, storerooms and gates, and we can key several alike so one key runs the premises. Lock changes after staff turnover are worth doing the same week rather than putting off.
If you run vehicles here, cut a spare key for each one while the originals still work. As a batch it costs a fraction of doing it one emergency at a time.
The work we do around Bluewater Bay Industrial
Fleet and bakkie keys make up most of it. Lost sets, worn keys, and keys snapped off in ignitions.
Salt damage is the local speciality. Padlocks and roller door locks seize up out here faster than anywhere else we work, and most of them could have been saved if somebody had called earlier.
Lock changes after staff turnover are a regular commercial call, and the one we would push hardest to do quickly.
We often run this and a Bluewater Bay residential call on the same trip, which is part of why we are out this way regularly.

FAQS
Our padlocks keep seizing up. Is that normal out here?
Yes, and it is the salt air. Padlocks, roller door mechanisms and gate locks corrode faster this close to the water. Most of them can be saved if you call before they fail completely.
How long does it take you to get out here?
About thirty minutes from our Seaview Road base, and the drive is on us.
Can you do several vehicles in one visit?
Yes. Send the list of makes, models and years and we will bring what we need for all of them in a single call out.
Do you work on trucks and bakkies?
Yes, as readily as cars. Send the make, model and year and we will confirm before we drive out.
A staff member left and still has keys. What should we do?
Change or rekey the affected locks so the old keys stop working. Worth doing the same week rather than putting it off.
Can one key run the whole premises?
Often yes. We can key several locks alike so staff carry one key instead of a ring of them.
Can you come outside our operating hours?
Yes. We work 24 hours, so if a vehicle has to be moving first thing we can come before opening.
What does a replacement fleet key cost?
It depends on the make, the model and the year. Send those details and we will price it before we drive out.
