We cut and program truck, bakkie and fleet keys on site, and we sort commercial locks in Markman
In Markman a vehicle that will not start is a delivery that does not happen. That is the whole difference between working out here and working in a suburb. Nobody is inconvenienced. Somebody is losing money by the hour.
We come to the yard. Bakkies, trucks, forklifts and light commercials all get sorted where they are standing, which means no recovery vehicle and no waiting for a slot at a dealership on the other side of the city.
Fleet keys are our main work in this area. Drivers change, keys go home in pockets, and vehicles get handed over with a single worn key that nobody has ever copied. We cut and code replacements on site, and we can do several vehicles in one visit rather than one call out per truck.
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 in the van at your gate.
Work keys take a beating. They live in overalls, get dropped on concrete, and eventually the cuts wear flat or the key snaps in the ignition. We cut from the code rather than copying a tired key, which is the difference between fixing the problem and postponing it.
On the building side we handle warehouse doors, office locks, storerooms and gates. The most common commercial call we get is a lock change after somebody leaves, and it is worth doing the same week rather than the same month.
If you run vehicles out here, the single most useful thing you can do is get a spare key cut for each one while the originals still work. Doing it as a batch costs a fraction of doing it in an emergency, one truck at a time.
The work we do around Markman
Fleet key replacement is the bulk of it. A driver loses a set, or a vehicle comes back from a job with a key that no longer turns, and the yard needs it running tomorrow.
Snapped keys in ignitions are the next most common. Years of daily use, a worn barrel, and eventually the key gives up inside it.
Warehouse and gate locks make up the rest. Roller door locks that have stopped turning, office doors, and lock changes when staff move on.
We also get called for batch work, where a yard books us in to cut spares for a whole set of vehicles in one visit. That is by far the cheapest way to do it.
Why yards out here call us
Markman is about thirty five minutes from our Seaview Road base. It is the furthest we go, and the drive is still on us.
You get the price before we leave, which matters when the job goes on an invoice rather than out of a pocket.
We work on bakkies, trucks and light commercials, not only passenger cars, and we cut from the code so the replacement is a proper key rather than another worn one.
We can work around your operating hours. If the vehicle has to be ready for a five in the morning start, tell us and we will come the night before.

FAQS
Can you do several vehicles in one visit?
Yes, and it is by far the cheapest way to do it. Send us the list of makes, models and years and we will bring what we need for all of them in a single call out.
How long does it take you to reach Markman?
About thirty five minutes from our Seaview Road base. It is the furthest we go, and the drive is still on us.
Do you work on trucks and forklifts, not just bakkies?
Yes. Send the make, model and year and we will confirm before we drive out rather than after.
A driver has left and still has keys. What should we do?
Change the affected locks or have them rekeyed so the old keys stop working. It is quick, and it is a lot cheaper than finding out the hard way.
A key snapped in the ignition. Is the vehicle off the road?
Not for long. We take the broken piece out without damaging the barrel and cut a fresh key from the code on site.
Can you come outside our operating hours?
Yes. If a vehicle has to be ready for an early start, tell us and we will come the night before or first thing.
Do you handle warehouse and roller door locks?
Yes. Roller doors, storerooms, office doors, gates and padlocks. We can also key several alike so one key runs the premises.
Do you invoice, or is it cash on the day?
Tell us how you need it handled when you book and we will sort it out before we arrive rather than at the gate.
