Car Locksmith in Boksburg
The groceries are loaded, the boot slams, and the key fob is lying on the passenger seat of a car that has just locked itself. Variations on that story are what most car call-outs in Boksburg look like, and many of them happen in mall parking. Others begin at the airport: OR Tambo International sits on Boksburg's northern edge, and a key that went missing on a trip only becomes a problem back at the car. As a mobile locksmith we travel to the vehicle, whether it's in a driveway, a warehouse yard or a public parking lot. Car work is a normal part of what we do, next to houses, businesses and safes.

Three kinds of car call-out
| Situation | Our approach |
|---|---|
| Key or fob inside a locked car | Non-destructive entry to the vehicle |
| Part of the key stuck in a door barrel or the ignition | Extract the fragment so the lock can be used again |
| Every key lost or broken | A replacement key for many popular makes, transponder and remote types among them |
Not every model can be done, so we confirm on the phone, from the make, model and year, before the technician leaves.
Locked out at East Rand Mall
The mall has over 3,600 parking bays across covered and open areas, reached from numbered entrances, so a vague "in the parking" can mean a long search. Say whether the car is under cover or in the open, give the closest entrance number, and name a store you parked near. Mall security's control room is underground at Entrance 3, and it helps to tell them a locksmith is on the way to your car. A small habit that prevents some of these calls: after pressing the remote, try the door handle, since the mall itself warns shoppers about remote jamming. Our guide to being locked out of your car at a shopping centre has more.
Keys lost on a trip
If the key went missing while you were away, or it's locked in a car parked on the Boksburg side of the airport, give us the vehicle details and a precise location. Our technician will only meet you in parking the public can enter, and the operator's own rules apply there, so tell the parking staff to expect us. We hold no airport contract and never enter airside or restricted zones.
With a rental car, call the hire company before you call us. Their vehicle, their process: we can only work on it once they agree.
Showing you may drive it
The technician will want your ID together with the registration certificate, a licence disc that matches the vehicle, or, for a company car, a letter from your employer. Locked in with the keys? Mention it when you phone and we'll look at the papers as soon as a door is open.
Directions by location
- Mall parking: covered or open, entrance number, the nearest store.
- Logistics or business park: park name, which gatehouse to use, unit number, and a call to security.
- Estate or house: visitor procedure at the boom, the driveway gate and whether there are dogs.
- Next to a road: get well clear of traffic and send a live location pin.
Cost
R250 call-out fee. You'll be quoted beside the car and nothing starts without your approval. Key prices vary with the vehicle and the type of key. Payment is by EFT, cash or card, and our cost guide for Boksburg explains how quotes are built.

Questions customers ask
Do you make keys for every car?
Not every one, but a wide range of popular models. Tell us the make, model and year and we'll confirm before coming out.
Could my car be scratched or damaged when you open it?
Entry is non-destructive, and the technician walks you through the method before touching the car.
Can you meet me inside the airport's restricted area?
No. We only work in parking open to the public. Anything inside a restricted zone has to go through the airport or the airline.
My toddler is locked in the car. Who do I call?
On a warm day, or if the child is upset, call emergency services first. That comes before any locksmith.
