We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes in Framesby
Framesby is a school suburb as much as anything else, and that shapes the rhythm of our week here. Mornings and early afternoons are busy on these streets, and a good number of our calls come from a parent standing next to a locked car with the engine still running.
The rest come from driveways. Cars parked outside overnight, remotes that give up in the cold, and second cars that have not had a spare key made since the day they were bought.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where you are. Your driveway, the pavement outside a school, a parking bay off Cape Road, or your own front door. The cutting machine and the programming equipment travel in the van, so it gets finished in one visit.
Losing every key you own is still a same visit job. Lost car key replacement means we read the code off your car, 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 in the van while you wait.
Locking keys inside a running car is more common than people admit, and it usually happens in a drop off queue with somebody hooting behind you. We open the car without marking it and you carry on with your morning.
House locks are the other half of our work here. Front, back, garage and gate usually means more keys than anybody can keep track of. We can key several alike so one key runs the lot, and we change locks when somebody moves in.
If a car in your household has one key and no spare, that is the job worth booking before anything goes wrong. A spare car key costs a fraction of an emergency call out.
Where we get called out in Framesby
The school run is our busiest window here. Keys locked in a running car during drop off, usually with a queue building behind.
Driveways bring the mornings. Cars parked outside overnight, flat remotes, and nobody noticing until they are already late.
Cape Road parking gives us a steady run too, mostly people who have shut a boot with the keys already inside.
Then the doors. Lock changes after a move, gate locks that have stopped turning, and worn keys that snap in the barrel.

FAQS
I locked my keys in the car during school drop off. Can you come now?
Yes, and it is one of our most common Framesby calls. Send your location on WhatsApp, say you are in a school queue, and we will find you.
The engine is still running and the doors are locked. Is that a problem?
No. We open the car without marking it and without switching anything off. It happens more often than people admit.
How quickly can you get to Framesby?
About twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base in normal traffic.
I have lost every key to my car. Can you still help?
Yes. We read the code off your car, cut a new key on the spot and program it so the engine starts.
The second car only has one key. Should I get a spare?
Yes. A spare cut while the original still works costs a fraction of an emergency call out once the only key breaks.
Can you change the locks on my house?
Yes, and we can key several doors alike so one key runs the front, the back and the gate.
Do you come out at night?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays.
What does a new car key cost?
It depends on the make, the model and the year. Send us those three details and we will give you the price before we drive out.
