Locked out of the ute on site

It happens the same way every time: keys on the seat, door shut, deadlocked. We come to the site, open it without damage and you’re back to work. Same for a van full of tools that has locked itself in a car park, and for a 4WD at the beach with the keys inside. Tell us where the vehicle is and what it is, and we bring the right entry tools. See car lockouts for how an opening goes.

Lost the only key

Work vehicles are often down to one key, because the spare went with a previous driver or an apprentice. When that last key goes, we make a new one from scratch at the vehicle: cut to the lock code, transponder programmed, remote paired if it has one, and the lost key deleted so it can’t start the engine. No towing the ute to a dealer and losing a day. Details on lost car keys.

A spare for the second driver

If you’ve got one key and two people driving the vehicle, get the second key cut now, while it’s a small job. We cut and program spares for HiLux, Ranger, Triton, Navara, BT-50, Colorado, LandCruiser, Prado, Patrol and HiAce, and the rest of the Japanese, Korean and American range. Remotes and push-button keys too. See spare car keys.

Which utes and vans we make keys for

European and Chinese utes and vans (VW Amarok and Transporter, Mercedes Sprinter and Vito, GWM Cannon, LDV T60 and G10, BYD Shark): we open them when you’re locked out, but we don’t make keys for them. That’s a dealer job, and we’ll tell you so on the phone rather than send you in circles. See European car lockouts.

Padlocks for the trailer and the yard

While we’re at the ute we can sort the padlocks too: trailer, gate and shed padlocks keyed alike so one key does the lot, and marine-grade padlocks for boat trailers that live near the beach. See padlocks and small lock jobs.

Where we see utes most

The industrial areas: Wangara, Malaga, Balcatta and Osborne Park. Building sites all over the northern suburbs. And the boat ramps at Hillarys and Ocean Reef on a Sunday. We’re based in Duncraig and cover all of Perth.

Common questions

Can you make a HiLux or Ranger key on site with no key at all?

Yes. We make keys from scratch for Toyota, Ford and the other Japanese, Korean and American makes, at the vehicle. Bring ID and something that shows the vehicle is yours or your company’s.

The ute is registered to my company. Is that a problem?

No, but we’ll need to see that you’re entitled to it: ID plus something linking you to the business and the vehicle, such as the rego in the company name and a business card or fleet paperwork.

Can you open a van with the keys locked inside without damaging it?

Yes. We use proper entry tools and open vans, utes and 4WDs without damage. That includes deadlocked doors.

Do you do keys for VW Amarok, Sprinter or GWM Cannon?

We open them, but we don’t make keys for European or Chinese vehicles. For a new key on those, it’s the dealer.
