We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes in Overbaakens
Overbaakens sits above the Baakens Valley, close enough to town that plenty of people here walk or drive in daily, and quiet enough that most cars spend the night outside rather than behind a gate.
That combination gives us a steady run of morning calls. A remote that will not open the car, a key that has gone missing overnight, or a boot closed with the keys already inside.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where the car is standing. The cutting machine and the programming equipment travel in the van, so it gets finished in one visit and you drive away yourself.
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 while you wait.
The streets here are narrow and often steep, which makes towing an expensive nuisance. Coming to you removes that problem completely.
House locks are the other half of what we do. Front, back and gate usually means more keys than anybody wants on a ring. We can key several alike so one key runs the lot, and we change locks when somebody moves in.
A spare car key cut while the original still works costs a fraction of an emergency call out later.
Where we get called out in Overbaakens
Kerbside and driveway parking give us most of it. Flat remotes in the morning and cars that will not open when somebody is already late.
Being close to town means people park here and walk in, so we also get calls from visitors who have left a car on the street for the day.
The narrow streets mean a tow is genuinely awkward, which is why most people here call a mobile locksmith instead.
Front doors round it off. Older locks, worn keys, and lock changes after a move.
Why Overbaakens calls us first
Overbaakens is about twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base.
You hear the price before we leave and it does not change when we arrive.
We come to the car rather than asking you to get it to us, which on these streets is the difference between a quick job and a whole afternoon.
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.

FAQS
How quickly can you get to Overbaakens?
About twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base.
The streets are narrow. Will that be a problem?
No, and it is exactly why coming to you beats a tow. Send a location pin so we can get to the right spot first time.
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.
My remote is flat in the morning. Is that a big job?
Usually not. Often it is just the battery. Tell us the make, model and year and we will give you an idea before we drive out.
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 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.
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.
