We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks and gates at homes in Sherwood
Sherwood has been one of the faster growing parts of the city, and that shows in the housing. Newer builds, automated gates, and cars that are a good deal more electronic than the ones we cut keys for in the older suburbs.
That changes the work. Fewer worn barrels, more remotes and fobs. A gate remote that has stopped reaching, or a car key that the vehicle no longer recognises, is the sort of call we get out here.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where you are. Your driveway, the kerb outside, or wherever the car has stopped. 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 while you wait.
Remotes are our most common single job in Sherwood. Sometimes it is the battery, sometimes the buttons have worn through, and sometimes the unit needs replacing and pairing again. We can usually tell you which from the description on the phone.
Newer houses tend to come with a gate, a garage, a front door and a back door, which is four locks and a remote before anybody has thought about it. We change locks, key several alike so one key runs the house, and sort what we can on the gate side.
A spare car key cut while the original still works costs a fraction of a full lost key job on a modern car. That gap is wider than most people expect.
Where we get called out in Sherwood
Driveways account for most of it. Cars parked behind a gate, remotes that give up, and nobody able to get out in the morning.
Gate remotes are a close second, usually after months of gradually needing to be closer before the gate responds.
The Kragga Kamma Road side brings the roadside calls, mostly keys shut in the car while somebody stopped for a few minutes.
Then the lock changes, normally from people who have just moved into a newer house and want their own keys on it.
Why Sherwood calls us first
Sherwood is about twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base in normal traffic. Anything off Kragga Kamma Road is a straight run for us.
You hear the price before we leave and it does not change when we arrive.
We handle the electronics as well as the cutting, which matters on newer cars where there is no keyhole to fall back on.
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
My gate remote has stopped reaching. Can you help?
Usually yes. Gate remotes wear out from daily use and often need replacing and pairing again. Tell us the make on WhatsApp and we will confirm before we drive out.
The car does not recognise the key any more. What now?
That is usually the transponder or the remote unit rather than the key itself. We code it back to the car at your driveway.
How quickly can you get to Sherwood?
About twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base. Anything off Kragga Kamma Road is a straight run for us.
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.
Do I have to use a dealership for a newer car?
No. We program keys for most modern makes at the vehicle, usually faster and without the car leaving your driveway.
Can one key open the front, back and garage?
Yes. Newer houses tend to come with four locks and a remote. We can key several alike so one key runs the house.
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, and the gap is wider on newer cars. Send us those details and we will price it before we drive out.
