Cutting from a key, or from nothing at all
Motorcycle key cutting in Werribee
Bike keys aren’t car keys scaled down. Every manufacturer runs its own blank and its own blade profile, cut shallower than anything a hardware shop’s machine is set up for, which is exactly why they hand riders back at the counter.
Ostan Locksmiths cuts at your bike, wherever it’s parked across Werribee, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing or Point Cook. That means copying a key you still hold, cutting fresh from the ignition barrel when nothing survives, or duplicating a spare before you need one.
The blanks and blades we cut for bikes and scooters
Whatever’s sitting in your ignition, seat lock or fuel cap, we likely carry the blank already or can cut one to code:
- Standard mechanical motorcycle keys
- Chipped and immobiliser keys, cut to shape and coded separately
- Scooter and shutter-lock keys, including Vespa and Piaggio
- Magnetic shutter systems fitted to newer scooters
- Dirt and trail bike keys
- Seat, fuel cap and luggage keys cut to match
- Spare keys duplicated from your original, before you need one
- Keys cut to code with no original left at all
Nothing left to copy? We still cut one.
We decode the ignition barrel at the bike and cut a fresh blade from what’s left inside the lock. No trailer, no dealer order, no week-long wait on a blank.
How it works
Need a new bike key cut? Here's exactly how it works
01
Call with the bike details
Tell us the make, model and year, and whether you've still got a key to copy from or nothing at all. That decides which blanks and gear we load before we drive out.
02
We come to the bike
No trailer and no dropping it at a shop. We drive out to your driveway, workplace or wherever the bike is stuck, anywhere across Werribee, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing or Point Cook.
03
Cut from the key or the barrel
We copy the blade from a key you hold, or decode the ignition barrel, seat lock or fuel cap when there's nothing left to copy from at all.
04
Test and hand it over
The new key gets tested in the ignition, steering lock, seat and fuel cap before we leave. If your bike needs coding too, we sort that in the same visit.
Call now and we'll talk you through pricing and timing for your bike key.

Cutting a bike key when nothing survives
This is the job most locksmiths turn away. With no key at all, the cuts can’t come from comparing a blank, they have to come from the lock itself.
We decode the ignition barrel on site, reading the wafer positions to work out the blade profile, then cut a key to match on calibrated equipment. On some models the seat lock or fuel cap lock is easier to reach and gives us the same code, since plenty of bikes run one key across ignition, seat and fuel cap. Where the manufacturer records key codes against the frame or VIN number, and you can show it’s your bike, we cut straight to code instead of decoding by hand.
If your bike also carries an immobiliser, that new blade turns the barrel, but the engine stays dead until the chip inside is coded, a separate job we also handle at the same visit where possible.
No Key At All?
Still Cuttable, Still Mobile
We decode the barrel on site and cut a working key without an original to copy, usually the same visit. Bring proof it’s your bike and we’ll get started.
Why a hardware shop can't cut a bike key
Motorcycle blanks are manufacturer specific. Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki, KTM, BMW, Ducati, Triumph and Vespa all run their own blade profiles, narrower and shallower than anything cut for a car or a house key. Most cutting counters stock none of them and don’t hold the depth-and-spacing settings a bike needs even if they did.
A cut blade is also only half the job on newer bikes. If your model carries an immobiliser, the barrel will turn on a correctly cut key but the engine stays dead until the chip inside is recognised, and that step needs coding equipment, not a key machine. Ostan Locksmiths carries both the blanks and the coding gear, which is usually the difference between one visit and two.

Questions we get asked
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We decode the ignition barrel, seat lock or fuel cap to work out the blade profile, or cut straight to code from the frame or VIN number where the manufacturer records it. Either way, we’ll need proof the bike is yours before we start cutting.
Motorcycle blanks are manufacturer specific, and the profiles are narrower and shallower than anything cut for a car or house key. Most cutting counters stock none of the blanks and don’t hold the machine settings a bike needs, so they hand the job straight back to you.
On most bikes, yes, because the ignition, seat and fuel cap all run off the same key. Some models use separate locks for those, and we’ll tell you which type yours is before we cut anything, so there are no surprises after.
Only if your bike has an immobiliser, which is common on newer and larger machines from Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and most other manufacturers. If it does, a freshly cut key will turn the barrel, but the engine won’t start until it’s coded to match.
Sometimes. A number of manufacturers record key codes against the frame or VIN number, and where that data exists we can cut straight to code after confirming ownership. Where it doesn’t, we decode the ignition barrel directly instead, which takes a little longer but gets the same result.
Yes. Scooters, including Vespa and Piaggio models, often use shutter-lock or magnetic key systems, and dirt bikes are usually simple mechanical keys with no chip at all. Both are regular work for us alongside road bikes.
Registration papers and matching photo ID, at minimum. Cutting a key from the lock rather than from an existing key is exactly the situation locksmiths and thieves both find useful, so we always confirm ownership before we cut a thing.
