We cut and program car keys at your car, and we sort the locks at homes in Springfield
Springfield sits close to the industrial side of the city, and a good number of people living here work in it. That shows up in the vehicles. More bakkies and work vehicles than you see in the leafier suburbs, and a lot of them earning their keep every day.
A work vehicle that will not start is not an inconvenience. It is a day of income gone. That is the main reason we come out here rather than asking anybody to arrange a tow.
We work as a mobile locksmith, so the job happens where the vehicle is standing. Your driveway, the kerb, or wherever it 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 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 while you wait.
Work vehicles chew through keys faster than family cars. The key lives in a pocket all day, gets dropped on concrete, and eventually the cuts wear down or it snaps in the ignition. We cut from the code rather than copying a worn key, so the new one actually works.
House locks are the other half of what we do here. Front, back and gate, plus lock changes when somebody moves in or a key goes missing.
If your work vehicle has one key and no spare, that is the most important job on this page. A spare car key costs a fraction of a lost day.
Where we get called out in Springfield
Driveways early in the morning give us most of it, usually somebody who needs to be at work and cannot get the vehicle open.
Bakkies and work vehicles make up a big share of the jobs here, and worn or snapped keys are the most common fault.
The industrial side is on our doorstep from here, so we often pick up a Springfield call on the same run as a Deal Party one.
Then the doors. Lock changes after a move, and keys worn down until they stop turning.
Why Springfield calls us first
Springfield is about twenty minutes from our Seaview Road base, and we are often on that side of town already.
You hear the price before we leave and it does not change when we arrive. That matters when the job was not in the week's budget.
We work on bakkies and work vehicles as readily as family cars, and we cut from the code rather than copying a worn key.
