We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes and businesses in Lorraine
Lorraine is a family suburb, and family suburbs have a particular rhythm to them. Two or three cars per house, a school run twice a day, and long driveways where a car sits outside overnight. That mix throws up a steady run of lost keys, flat remotes and doors nobody can get through.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where you are. That might be your own driveway, a parking bay at Baywest, the pavement outside a school at half past two, or your front door. The cutting machine and the programming equipment travel with us, so it gets finished in one visit.
Being out this side of town has one real drawback when something goes wrong with a key. Getting a car to a workshop means paying for a tow before anybody has even looked at it. Coming to you removes that whole problem, and the drive is on us either way.
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.
Second cars are where we see the most trouble here. The car the kids drive, or the bakkie that only comes out on weekends, usually has one key and no spare. It runs fine for years and then the key breaks at the worst moment.
House locks are a big part of our Lorraine work. Larger properties mean more doors, and more doors usually means a ring of keys nobody can keep track of. We change locks, repair them, and key several doors alike so one key opens the front, the back and the gate.
Getting a spare cut before you need it is the cheapest thing on this page. A spare car key today costs a good deal less than an emergency call out on a Sunday night with a house full of people waiting on you.
Where we get called out in Lorraine
The driveways themselves account for most of it. Cars sit outside overnight, a remote gives up in the cold, and nobody notices until everyone is already late.
The school run brings the next batch. A parent locks a phone and a set of keys in the car during drop off, usually with a queue building behind them.
Baywest parking gives us a steady run too. Shopping goes in the boot, the key goes in with it, and the lid comes down before anybody checks.
Then the front doors. Larger houses out here often still run the locks they were built with, and we change more of those in Lorraine than almost anywhere else in the city.
Why people out here call us first
We come from Seaview Road, so Lorraine is about twenty minutes in normal traffic. That matters at eleven at night when you are standing in your own driveway unable to get into your own car.
You get the price before we leave. Tell us what has happened on WhatsApp, we tell you what it costs, and that number stays the same when we pull up.
We carry blanks for the makes we see most around here, which covers Toyota, Volkswagen, Ford, Hyundai and the German brands, plus the lock stock these larger properties usually need for doors and gates.
You deal with the same small team every time. We are a Gqeberha business with a verified Google listing and a stack of reviews behind us, so there is no call centre somewhere else sending a stranger to your address.

FAQS
How quickly can you get to Lorraine?
About twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base in normal traffic. Anything off Kragga Kamma Road is a straight run for us.
Do you charge extra to come out this side of town?
No. The drive is on us. You get one price for the job before we leave, and that is the price you pay when we arrive.
I have lost every key to my car. Can you still help?
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs. We read the code off your car, cut a new key on the spot and program it so the engine starts. You drive away the same visit.
The car only has one key. Should I get a spare?
Yes, and it is the cheapest thing you can do. A spare cut while the original still works costs a fraction of an emergency call out once the only key breaks.
Can you key my front door, back door and gate alike?
Yes. Larger properties out here usually mean a ring of keys nobody can keep track of. We can set several locks to run off one key.
I locked my keys in the car at Baywest. What now?
Send us a WhatsApp with your bay number. We open the car without marking it and you carry on with your day.
Do I need to get my car towed to you?
No. The cutting machine and the programming equipment travel with us, so the work happens wherever your car is standing.
Do you come out at night?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays.
