Auto locksmiths in Roodepoort and Soweto. Transponder keys cut and coded on the spot, cars opened without damage, ignitions repaired — plus house keys, locks, padlocks and SABS-approved number plates for every province.
One workshop for the lot — automotive coding and diagnostics, household locks and hardware, and number plates. If it takes a key, we make it.
Five situations cover almost every call we get. Pick yours and you'll know what we'll do, what to bring, and roughly how long it takes before you even phone.
No key at all is still a job we finish on site. We read the key code for your vehicle, cut a fresh blade, then code a new transponder to the immobiliser and pair the remote. Where a car has been keyed before, we can wipe the old keys off the system so a lost key can't start it again.
The cheapest key you will ever buy is the one you order while the first one still works. A plain cut-and-coded spare that starts the car starts at R900 without a remote; add the remote and we pair it to the same car. Keep it at home, not on the same ring.
Keys on the seat, or in the boot, with the doors shut. We open the vehicle non-destructively — the lock, the door and the paint are exactly as we found them. If the key inside is damaged or the battery in the fob is flat, we sort that out in the same callout.
That is usually one of three things: a worn ignition barrel, a failed transponder chip, or a door lock that has seized. We diagnose which before replacing anything — and where the barrel has to come out, we re-key the new one to the key already on your ring so you don't end up carrying two.
Walk in with a key and walk out with copies. We also supply and fit entrance locks, mortice locks, euro cylinders, security-gate locks and padlocks — and we can key a set alike so one key opens the gate, the front door and the store room.
Most of the wait at a dealership is the key being ordered in. Our board carries the blanks, shells and remotes for the cars people actually drive around Roodepoort and Soweto — each row labelled with its blank code so the right one comes off the hook first time.
The same counter that codes a Mercedes key cuts your house key. Entrance locks, mortice locks, euro cylinders, security-gate locks, disc padlocks and gate hardware are on the shelf — and we fit them.
Gauteng, Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape, Western Cape — we emboss them here while you wait, to SABS specification.
The shop is in Grobler Park, Roodepoort, and we come out across the West Rand and into Soweto. If your suburb isn't on the list, phone anyway — we travel.
A new key coded at the car is faster and cheaper than a flatbed to the dealership. Timothy answers, day or night.
Key cutting, duplicates, locks, padlocks and number plates are quickest at the counter — most of it is done while you wait.
Lockouts, lost keys and ignition trouble are done at the vehicle — at home, at work, in a parking level or on the side of the road.
