Keys locked in at a ParkFreo car park or on a Markets day
The City of Fremantle runs 27 ParkFreo car parks, including Parry Street, Ellen Street, Fremantle Oval and Beach Street. From Friday to Sunday the Fremantle Markets are open on the corner of South Terrace and Henderson Street. Put the key down to load the boot, shut the door, and it’s locked in. Ring us with the car park, roughly where you’re parked, and the make and model. We’ll open it, and we don’t damage your car.
If the key is gone rather than locked in, we can cut and program a new one there in the car park for Japanese, Korean and most American cars, from a Corolla to a Mazda3. Most keys are cut and programmed in about half an hour once we’re at the car. It’s usually a lot less than going through a dealer, and no towing. More on getting into a locked car, or the whole car service on our car locksmith in Perth page.
A car key lost at Bathers, South, Port or Leighton Beach
A key that drops into the sand or goes in the water with you is usually gone for good, and a remote that has had a swim often stops working. If it was the only key, you don’t need to get the car towed home. We come to wherever it’s parked, make a new key for the makes we cover, and remove the lost key from the car’s computer so it can no longer start the car. For European and Chinese cars we can open the car but we can’t make the key, and we’ll tell you that on the phone so you’re not waiting on us for the wrong job. See lost all your car keys and car key stopped working.
Late shifts at Fremantle Hospital and classes at Notre Dame
Fremantle Hospital is in the middle of town, and Notre Dame university has its campus in the West End. People come and go from the hospital at all hours. If you walk out at the end of a night shift and the keys are sitting on the car seat, call us. We’re open 24 hours, 7 days, public holidays included. If you don’t get us first time, leave a message and try again. Students who’ve lost the only key to a share house can call too. We get you in, and if that key could turn up in the wrong hands, rekeying the locks makes it useless.
Victorian and Edwardian houses near the Prison and the Round House
Fremantle kept a lot of its old streets. The convict era buildings, Fremantle Prison and the Round House, sit among Victorian and Edwardian houses and shops. Older places like these often still have timber doors and windows, with locks that have been turning for decades. When a lock is worth fixing, we fix it. When it isn’t, we fit a new one and key it to the key you already use, so there’s nothing extra on the ring. Old timber windows can usually take a lock or a latch too. See lock installation and repair and window locks.
Locked out of one of these houses? 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. Just bought one? A typical house has 6 to 8 locks and we rekey them in about an hour. Most Australian houses are Gainsborough or Lockwood, and if the front door is one and the screen door the other, you’ll have two keys unless the screen door cylinders are changed. More on house lockouts.
Shops, cafes and offices in the West End and toward the harbour
The town centre and the West End have shops, cafes and offices in old buildings. When someone leaves with a key, we change or rekey the locks. A shopfront or back door lock that has stopped locking properly gets repaired or replaced. A keypad lock lets you change the code the day someone leaves. We fit McGrath, Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale. Lion Head’s WiFi models need a gateway hub for the app to work away from the shop, and Carbine has PIN plus tag models. See shop and office locks and keypad and smart locks.
Ringing us from Fremantle
We’re based in Duncraig, north of the river, and Fremantle is on the south side of the river mouth, so the more exact you are, the better. Tell us which ParkFreo car park, which beach, whether you’re at the hospital, a street off South Terrace, or near the station on Phillimore Street. For a car, we need the make, model and year, and whether any key still works. For a key or a lock change we check your photo ID and something that shows the car or the house is yours, like rego papers or a bill. The price is agreed before we start.
What we can’t do in Fremantle
We don’t repair car door locks or ignitions. European and Chinese cars we can open, but we don’t make keys for them. If it’s something we don’t do, or we’re not available when you call, we’ll always try to point you to someone who can help.
Around Fremantle
North Fremantle, East Fremantle, South Fremantle, White Gum Valley and Hilton are all next door, and we cover them the same way. Further up the river we have pages for Applecross, Como and South Perth, and down the coast for Coogee. Or see all areas we cover.

Common questions
I searched for a locksmith in Freemantle with two e’s. Is that you?
Yes, if you mean the port city in Perth. Fremantle WA 6160 is at the mouth of the Swan River in Western Australia, spelt with one e before the m. Freemantle with two e’s is a suburb of Southampton in England, and we can’t help there.
My keys are locked in the car in a ParkFreo car park. What do I tell you?
Which car park (Parry Street, Ellen Street, Fremantle Oval, Beach Street or another one), roughly where the car is, the make and model, and a number we can reach you on. We agree the price on the phone and we don’t damage your car getting it open.
I lost my only car key at the beach. Can you make a new one where the car is parked?
For Japanese, Korean and most American cars, yes. We cut and program the new key at the car and remove the lost one from the car’s computer so it can no longer start it. European and Chinese cars we can open, but we can’t make the key.
I’ve finished a night shift at Fremantle Hospital and my keys are locked in the car. Will anyone answer?
We work 24 hours, 7 days, so call whatever the time. If you don’t get us first time, leave a message and try again. Tell us where the car is and what it is, and we’ll agree the price before we start.
Can you fit a keypad lock on an old timber front door in Fremantle?
On most doors, yes. We look at the door first and tell you if it needs anything done before the lock goes on. We fit McGrath, Lion Head, Lockton, Carbine, Lockwood and Yale.
A staff member left our West End cafe with a key. What should we do?
Rekey or change the locks the key fits, so it no longer opens anything. If keys keep going missing, a keypad lock on the staff door means you change a code instead of cutting new keys.
