Balcatta, Western Australia 6021: locked out of your car, ute, workshop or home? Call us any time and we’ll come to you.

Car, ute and van lockouts and keys in Balcatta
Keys locked in the car at the shops on Wanneroo Road, at Northlands or at the workplace? We open any vehicle without damaging it. For Japanese, Korean and most American cars we can also make a new key where it’s parked. Most keys are cut and programmed in about half an hour once we’re at the vehicle.
With so many workshops and tradies around the Balcatta industrial area, utes and vans are a big part of it: HiLux, Ranger, Triton, Navara, HiAce and Transit among them. See utes, vans and 4WDs, lost all your car keys, spare car keys and our car locksmith page.
Businesses and workshops
The northern part of Balcatta is a major regional employment area along Erindale Road and Balcatta Road, with retail, offices, wholesalers and light industry. We handle lock changes when staff leave, roller-door and gate locks, break-in repairs and keypad digital locks. See our commercial locksmith page.
Homes in Balcatta
Balcatta grew from market gardens in the late 1960s and 70s, and many of its brick-and-tile homes have a distinctive southern European style. Plenty of those homes still have older deadlocks and sliding-door locks worn from years of use. If a key is getting hard to turn, we’ll get it repaired or replaced before it fails and locks you out. Just moved in? Rekeying makes the old keys useless. Locked out of the house? See house lockouts. We try non-destructive entry first. In the unlikely event a barrel has to be drilled, we tell you first, then replace the barrel and key it to your existing key at no charge.
Sliding doors and security screens
A sliding door that won’t catch, or a screen door that only locks when you slam it, is one of the most common calls we get. We repair them on the visit. See security screen door locks.

Why we come to you
Balcatta’s roads, especially Wanneroo Road and the Reid Highway, are busy at all hours, which makes waiting for a tow slow. We’re mobile, so the work is done where the problem is: at your car, your front door or your workshop. It usually costs a lot less than going through a dealer for a car key, and you don’t need to tow the car anywhere.
Going keyless in Balcatta
Balcatta’s established homes suit a keypad lock as a modern front-door upgrade. Keypad and smart locks suit front doors, units and rentals where keys keep going missing. We fit McGrath, Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale. Lion Head’s WiFi models need a gateway hub for remote app access, and Carbine offers PIN plus tag models. Not sure which suits your door? We tell you before we start. Start with our digital lock guide.
