in Mentone, VIC
Car key replacement from Locksmith Mentone replaces worn, broken and damaged car keys at your vehicle. We extract a snapped key, cut a new blade, replace a dead fob and cut spares before the next key fails. Call 0410 380 354 and tell us your make, model and year.
What we cover
Worn Key That Is Hard to Turn
Rounded cuts make a key stiff, and a stiff key breaks. We cut a fresh key and check the cylinder for wear. Read about a worn car key that is hard to turn.
