Car Locksmith in Centurion
You load the shopping, shut the boot, and the car locks itself with the key on the front seat. Plenty of Centurion car call-outs start like that, in a mall parking area. Others start at the Gautrain station, when someone gets back from a day in another city and the key isn't where it should be. We're a mobile locksmith, so the technician comes to the car, whether it's at Centurion Mall, Mall@Reds, Irene Village Mall, the station, an office park or your own driveway. Cars are everyday work for us, just like homes, businesses and safes.

Locked out at a Centurion mall
Mall parking areas are big, and "in the parking" is hard to find. Tell us which mall and which part of the parking you're in: Centurion Mall on Gordon Hood Avenue, Mall@Reds on the corner of Rooihuiskraal Road and Hendrik Verwoerd Drive, or Irene Village Mall. Add the nearest entrance and a store you can see, such as the Checkers Hyper or Woolworths at Irene Village Mall, or the Pick n Pay at Mall@Reds. It also helps to let mall security know that a locksmith is coming to your car. The centre's own rules apply in its parking.
Locked out at the Gautrain station
The Centurion Gautrain station is on West Avenue, with parking next to the station. If your car is there, tell us which parking area and level you're on and roughly where the car is, and let the security staff on duty know a locksmith is on the way. If you're coming back by train and already know the key is missing, phone ahead with the vehicle details so the technician knows what to bring.
A child or pet inside
If a child or an animal is shut in the car on a warm day, or seems distressed, phone emergency services before anyone else, us included. Child or pet locked in a car covers the first few minutes.
Showing it's your car
Have your ID ready, plus the registration papers or a licence disc that matches the car; a company car needs your employer's written go-ahead. Papers locked inside get checked the moment a door opens.
Driving a hire car? The rental company decides who may work on it, so ring them before you ring us.
Cost
R250 call-out fee. The technician quotes standing at the car, and nothing is done until you accept. A replacement key's price depends on the vehicle and the kind of key it uses. Our Centurion cost guide explains how a quote is made up, and you pay by EFT, cash or card.

Where this service is available
We provide car keys & lockouts as part of our mobile locksmith service across Centurion. Areas we're often asked about include:
Questions customers ask
Can you supply a key for my make and model?
For many popular cars, yes, though not all. Send us the make, model and year and you'll have an answer before we drive out.
Will my car be scratched when you open it?
We open cars without damage, and the technician explains the method before starting.
My remote stopped working. Is that a locksmith job?
Sometimes. A flat battery is the usual culprit, so try that first. If the remote still won't work, or the key is damaged, call us with the vehicle details.
My child is locked in the car. Should I call you?
Call emergency services first, especially on a warm day or if the child is upset. Then call us.
