Motorcycle Locksmith Coburg North
Coburg North 3058 is quieter than the strip below Bell Street, and most of the bikes we see here live in garages, carports and driveways rather than on a main road. Ostan Locksmiths brings the equipment to them. Michael cuts lost keys from the lock, makes spares, programs transponders and repairs ignition barrels, steering locks and seat locks wherever the bike happens to be standing.
- Garages and carports across Merlynston and Newlands
- Batman and Merlynston station streets covered daily
- Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, nothing on four wheels

Common Coburg North Jobs
This side of Bell Street is mostly houses, light industry and two small stations, and the calls we take here reflect a suburb where bikes are stored rather than paraded.
Bikes Stored in the Home Garage
Most Coburg North bikes spend their week in a garage or under a carport, which is kind to the paint and hard on nothing except the rider's memory of where the spare key went. When the only key is gone we cut a new one against the lock in the garage, program the chip if the bike needs it, and the bike never leaves the property at any point.
Trade Yards Along Gaffney Street
Gaffney Street and the streets running off it hold panel shops, warehouses and small factories, and a fair number of the bikes parked outside them belong to people mid shift. Those calls need to be straightforward: we come to the yard, work beside the bike and stay well out of the forklift's way. Mention the business name and the gate we should use when you call.
Merlynston and Batman Station Streets
The Upfield line runs through Coburg North with two small stations and streets of unrestricted parking around them, which is where commuters leave a bike all day. Coming back at dusk to a key that will not turn, or no key at all, is a familiar story. Ring us from the footpath and stay with the bike, and we will work at the kerb where you left it.
Bikes Woken Up After a Long Sleep
Newlands and the streets around Hosken Reserve are full of houses where a bike has sat behind the mower for a decade. When they come back out, the ignition is often the first thing to object, and the key that came with the bike may be long gone. We cut a fresh one from the barrel, clean the mechanism and get it turning again in the driveway.

How Our Coburg North Callout Works
Three steps, and the bike never leaves the spot it is in.
1. Call and describe
Call 0410 380 354 and tell us the bike, the problem and where in Coburg North it is parked. We confirm a price before we travel.
2. We come to Coburg North

3. Ride away
We check ID and proof of ownership, cut or program the key or repair the lock, then test it before we leave.
Driveways, Factory Gates and the Upfield Line
Coburg North is easier to drive around than most of what we cover, which helps everyone. The catch is that the suburb is split by the Upfield line and the creek, so a street can look close on a map and still need a long detour to reach. Give us the nearest crossing or main road along with the address, and the last part of the trip stops being guesswork.
At home addresses we usually work on the driveway or inside an open garage, which is the easiest setup there is. At a workplace, the gate and the yard matter more than the street number, so tell us which entrance to use and who to ask for at the counter. If the bike is behind a locked gate after hours, we need to know that before we leave rather than on arrival.
Driveway and carport jobs
Nearly all residential work here happens on the drive. Leave room for the van at the kerb and clear a metre of space around the bike.
Factory gates
Yards off Gaffney Street often have two entrances and only one that is actually open. Name the business and the gate and we will pull straight in.
Line crossings
The Upfield line limits where you can cross. Tell us the nearest level crossing or main road so we approach from the correct side of the tracks.
After dark callouts
Plenty of Coburg North streets are dim and the garages darker still. We carry our own lighting, so a bike in an unlit shed is no obstacle.
Worth knowing: When you ring, read the make, model and year from the registration papers. Guessing the year is what leaves a locksmith standing there without the right blank.
Not sure we can reach your bike?
Describe the spot and we will tell you straight away. We work Coburg North every week and very little surprises us. Call 0410 380 354.

Coburg North Motorcycle Locksmith FAQs
The bike has not started in years and I have no idea where the key went. Where do we start?
With the lock, because that is where the answer lives. We read the barrel at your place, cut a blade to suit and then deal with whatever the years have done to the mechanism, which is often dried grease rather than damage. If the barrel is past helping we can fit a replacement. Give us the make, model and year and we will talk it through first.
Will you come to a workplace off Gaffney Street during business hours?
Yes, and a fair share of our Coburg North work is exactly that. We come to the yard or the staff parking area, work beside the bike and keep clear of loading traffic. What we need is the business name, the right gate and someone who can vouch for you being the owner of the bike. Ring during your break and we will fit it around the shift.
Is a spare key worth doing before anything goes wrong?
It is the least stressful version of this job, and the shortest. With a working key in hand we duplicate the blade and copy the chip across, so you end up with two keys that both start the bike. Doing that on a Saturday morning in your own driveway costs far less time and trouble than doing it at a station kerb on a wet Tuesday night.
Do you cover Merlynston as well, or just the Coburg North addresses?
Merlynston is part of Coburg North as far as we are concerned, and it shares the 3058 postcode with Coburg. Whether the bike is on a street near the station, up around Newlands or right on the Fawkner boundary, it is the same service and the same run. We come to the bike, confirm a price on the phone beforehand and finish the work where it stands.
What identification do you need before cutting a key?
Photo identification and the registration papers for the bike, with the names matching. If the bike is not registered in your name, we need something that connects you to it, such as a signed transfer or a receipt from the seller. It is a short check done at the kerb, and it is the reason a stolen bike does not get a new key from us.

Driveway, factory yard or a street near Merlynston station, we come to the bike with everything the job needs. Call 0410 380 354 between 7am and 10pm, any day of the week.
