What Happens When Every Key Is Gone
Lost car key replacement means originating a brand new key when there is nothing left to copy from, whether you have misplaced your only spare or every key for the car is gone. There is no old key to duplicate, so we pull your vehicle’s own security code from the VIN or read it directly out of the lock, cut a fresh blade to match, and program the immobiliser to accept it as if it were the original. Ostan Locksmiths carries the equipment to originate that key from scratch, at the vehicle, any hour of the day.
It happens at the vehicle, no towing, no dealership booking, and no spare required to get started. If you still have one working key, the job is simpler and quicker, and our car key replacement page covers that version instead.

No key, no spare, no problem
We originate a new key from scratch at the vehicle. Call with the rego and we will talk you through what is involved and what it will cost before we drive out. It makes no difference whether you’re stuck at home in Wyndham Vale, in the Werribee Plaza car park, or on the shoulder of the Princes Freeway, we come to wherever the car has stopped.
How it works
Lost your only key? Here's exactly what happens when you call
01
Call With Your Registration Details
Give us your registration, the make and model, and photo ID matching the rego papers. With no key to check against, that proof is what lets us start the job safely.
02
We Come To The Vehicle
We drive straight to the vehicle, wherever it has been left, and open it first if you are also locked out, without damaging the door or the lock.
03
Originate And Program From Scratch
We pull the key code from your VIN or decode it from the lock, cut a fresh blade, and program the immobiliser from scratch so it accepts the new chip.
04
Test, Cut A Spare And Hand Over
Every function gets tested, the lost key is erased from memory, and we cut you a spare on the spot so you are never down to one again.

Every Key Gone? Call While You Are Still Safe
You know the process now. If you are stuck without a way into or to start the car, call and we will confirm the price and get on the road. The sooner you call, the sooner we can start pulling your key code and get you back to driving instead of waiting.
Why it takes longer than a spare
An all-keys-lost job takes longer than adding a spare because the car has nothing left to check the new key against. Some manufacturers also build in a security delay before the immobiliser will accept a fresh key, and a handful of models need two working keys in the system before the car will start at all, which we will flag on the phone if it applies to yours.
Stuck now
Stranded Right Now?
We answer day and night, weekends and public holidays included. Tell us where you are and what you drive, and we will give you a straight answer on price and timing.
Cut a spare while we are there
This is the single most useful thing we can tell you. The expensive part of today was not the key itself, it was that you had no spare to fall back on. While we are already at the vehicle with the equipment out, cutting a second key costs far less than calling us back for another all-keys-lost job later.

Questions we get asked
Frequently Asked Questions
Losing every key means there is no original left to copy, so a locksmith or dealer originates a new one from the vehicle’s security code instead of duplicating an existing blade. We retrieve that code from the VIN or read it out of the lock, cut a matching blade, and program the immobiliser to accept it as the only valid key until a spare is added.
It varies by vehicle and key type. A basic key on an older car is one of the more affordable jobs we do. Vehicles with a transponder, smart key or proximity fob cost more because the immobiliser itself has to be reprogrammed from a blank state, not just taught one extra chip. We quote a firm number once we know your make, model and year.
You will need to prove the vehicle is yours before we cut or program anything, since this job creates a working key with nothing to check it against. Registration papers and photo ID that match are usually enough. Without them we cannot safely proceed, no matter how urgent the situation feels.
Both handle it, but Ostan Locksmiths is usually faster and comes to you rather than requiring a tow. A dealership can also originate a key from the VIN, though it typically means booking the car in and often waiting for parts, while we carry the blanks and programming equipment already.
Basic own-damage car insurance often does not cover lost keys as standard. It is worth checking your policy, since some insurers offer it as an add-on, and roadside assistance cover may at least help if you are stranded rather than simply locked out at home.
Yes. Proximity and push-button start systems still hold a security code we can retrieve, and we carry the programming equipment for smart keys as well as older transponder systems. The job takes a little longer since more of the car’s systems need to learn the new key, but the process is the same in principle.
Yes. Older vehicles without a transponder chip just need a mechanical blade cut to match the lock, which is quicker and cheaper since there is no immobiliser step involved. Almost everything built from the early-to-mid 2000s onward carries a chip as well, so replacement on those models includes both cutting the blade and programming the immobiliser.
