We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes in Parsons Hill
Parsons Hill sits on the slope above town, and the streets up here are steep and narrow. That matters more than you would think when something goes wrong with a car key, because getting a vehicle onto a tow truck on a hill like that is nobody's idea of a good afternoon.
Coming to you removes the problem entirely. We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens exactly 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.
Most houses up here are old enough that the front door hardware has been in place for decades. It looks solid and it opens far more easily than most owners would like. Changing it is quick, and it is the single most useful thing we do for a house in this part of the city.
Old locks also chew through keys. A worn key in a worn barrel eventually gives, usually snapping off inside. We take the broken piece out without damaging the lock and cut a fresh one on the spot.
Parking is tight on these streets, which means cars sit at the kerb overnight and remotes go flat in the cold. It is one of our regular morning calls, and often a quick fix.
If your car only has one key, get a second cut before something happens to it. A spare car key today costs a good deal less than an emergency call out at midnight.
Where we get called out in Parsons Hill
Kerbside parking on the steeper streets gives us the most work. Flat remotes in the morning, and keys locked in cars while somebody runs back inside for something.
Front doors are the other half. Original hardware, worn keys, and locks that have started to stick when the weather turns.
Being a short walk from town means people leave cars up here for the day, so we get calls from visitors as well as residents.
Lock changes after a move are steady too, usually from people who have just realised how many keys might be floating around from previous owners.
Why the Hill calls us first
Parsons Hill is about fifteen minutes from our Seaview Road base, on a route we run most days.
You hear the price before we leave and it does not change when we arrive.
We know the older door hardware up here. Some of it can be repaired and kept, and some of it needs replacing. We will tell you which rather than pulling out fittings you would rather hold onto.
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.
Finding you in Parsons Hill
We cover all of Parsons Hill and the streets running into Mount Croix, Mill Park and Central. The roads are narrow and steep, so a location pin saves us both time.
Send the pin along with the make, model and year of the car, or a photo of the lock. That tells us what to load before we leave.
Our base sits at 51 Seaview Rd, about fifteen minutes away. The drive is on us.

FAQS
How quickly can you reach Parsons Hill?
About fifteen minutes from our Seaview Road base. The streets are narrow, so a location pin helps us find you fast.
Do I need a tow if my key is lost?
No, and that matters on streets this steep. We come to the car and cut a new key where it stands.
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.
Can you work on older front door locks?
Yes. Some of the original hardware up here can be repaired and kept. Some needs replacing. We will tell you which rather than pulling out fittings you would rather hold onto.
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.
We have just moved in. Should we change the locks?
Yes. You have no way of knowing how many keys are out there from previous owners or workmen. It is quick and worth doing before you unpack.
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.
