Automotive Key Cutting & Programming
LockAround Locksmith takes the workshop to the vehicle. Wherever the car has come to a stop — a highway shoulder, a shopping-centre basement, a driveway with the boot still open — the van comes to that spot with the cutting machine and the programmer already on board. Automotive callouts cover Bramley and Johannesburg.
We carry full key-cutting and programming equipment on all our vehicles, covering most automotive key types and makes on-site, so you're not left waiting for a tow.
Keys We Work With
- Genuine remote keys
- Smart keys
- Aftermarket non-remote keys
- Transponder and electronic keys
- Key fob programming and repairs
- Ignition repairs and replacements
Key Programming Done At The Kerb
The diagnostic gear rides in the van, so a transponder or a remote is coded to the car through its own port while it stands exactly where it stopped. For most of what is on the road locally that removes the tow truck and the dealership booking entirely. Have the registration, the VIN and something showing the car is yours ready before we arrive — no locksmith should be cutting a key without them.
Stranded with the keys out of reach? The van comes to the vehicle — day or night.

Why Drivers Call LockAround Locksmith
A car lockout after dark is a safety problem before it is an inconvenience, which is why a vehicle callout is never the job we ask someone to sit on until morning. The door is opened with wedges and reach tools rather than glass, and the technician checks the lock and the door card for damage before packing up.
Between them the vans cover the German, Japanese, Korean and American badges that fill local dealer lots, along with the bakkies and light commercials that go with them. A handful of keys are tied to a manufacturer server and genuinely do have to go through a dealer — if yours is one of those, you will hear it on the first call rather than after an hour parked at the roadside.
