Motorcycle Locksmith Yarraville
Yarraville’s village strip runs late most nights thanks to the Sun Theatre, and Ostan Locksmiths keeps the same hours as a mobile motorcycle locksmith covering the 3013 postcode. Bikes here are parked outside Anderson and Ballarat Street shops, tucked down rear laneways behind cottages or left near Cruickshank Park after a ride, and we reach every one without a tow. Keys are cut from the lock, spares made and transponders programmed on the spot.
- Kerbside on Anderson Street, Ballarat Street or down a rear laneway
- Late finishes at the Sun Theatre covered within our 7am to 10pm hours
- Motorcycles, scooters and mopeds only, never cars parked in the same lane

Where We Get Called in Yarraville
Yarraville’s village character shapes most of our callouts here, from the theatre crowd to the laneways behind the cottages. There is no industrial estate or freeway edge to plan around, just a busy strip, quiet side streets and a park at the end of most of them. These four come up most.
Sun Theatre Evening Crowds
A night at the Sun Theatre is a Yarraville institution, and it is also when a fair few keys go missing, usually between the ticket counter and the bike parked on Ballarat Street. If yours has vanished, stay with the bike and call us. We come straight to the strip, cut a new key from the lock and program the transponder if the model needs one, session times and crowds permitting.
Rear Laneway Bikes
A lot of Yarraville's cottages keep their bikes down a rear laneway rather than out the front, tucked behind a gate or under a lean-to off the right of way. Give us the laneway entrance and roughly which gate is yours, since one lane can back onto a dozen houses that all look similar from a distance. We bring the gear down the lane and work right there beside the bike, no fuss.
Cruickshank Park Weekend Rides
Cruickshank Park along Stony Creek pulls in a good number of riders on weekends, some parking near the playground for a walk, others meeting before a longer loop toward the bay. A dead battery or a lost key on the grass is not unusual for us here. Tell us which entrance off Francis Street or Somerville Road you used, and we will bring what the bike needs to the park itself, no matter which corner.
Anderson and Ballarat Street Village
The village strip along Anderson and Ballarat Streets is where most of Yarraville shops, eats and meets, and it is a common spot for a scooter key to slip out of a pocket between one shopfront and the next. If your bike is parked along the strip, stay close by and call us. We come straight to the shopfront nearest the bike and sort the key without leaving it unattended for long.

Village Strip, Rear Laneways and Cruickshank Park
Yarraville is a village in the true sense, with a busy strip at its centre and narrow streets and laneways branching off it in every direction. A lot of the older cottages here keep bikes down a rear right of way rather than out front, which is normal for us but does mean the laneway entrance matters as much as the street address when you call, particularly after dark when house numbers are hard to read from a moving van.
If the bike is on the village strip, the nearest café or shop is the fastest landmark. If it is down a laneway, tell us which street the laneway runs off and roughly how far along, since a single lane can serve a dozen houses. Near Cruickshank Park, the entrance off Francis Street or Somerville Road works better than a street number ever could, especially once the light starts to fade over the creek and the park empties out.
Village strip parking
The strip along Anderson and Ballarat Streets is easy to find, but naming the nearest shop helps us park close to the bike rather than up the block hunting for a space to fit the van into.
Rear laneway access
Many bikes here live down a rear laneway rather than out front. Tell us which street the lane runs off and which gate is yours before we head over to you, so we do not guess wrong on arrival.
Cruickshank Park entrances
The park has entrances off both Francis Street and Somerville Road, on opposite sides of the grounds. Tell us which one you used and we will meet you close to it, gear already loaded and in hand.
Sun Theatre nights
Ballarat Street gets busy on cinema nights, with cars and bikes packed along the kerb outside every shopfront. Tell us which session finished and the nearest shopfront so we can find the bike among the crowd quickly and quietly.
Worth knowing: Have the make, model and year ready from the registration papers before calling. It tells us which key blanks and programming gear to load.
Not sure we can reach your bike?
Describe the spot and we will tell you straight away. We work Yarraville every week and very little surprises us. Call 0410 380 354.

Yarraville Motorcycle Locksmith FAQs
My key went missing after a late session at the Sun Theatre. Do you come out that late?
We answer calls until 10pm every night, so a late finish at the Sun Theatre is well within our hours. Stay with the bike, call us with the nearest shopfront on the strip, and we come straight there to cut a new key from the lock and program the transponder if the model needs one, before the strip empties out for the night and the crowd from the last session disperses into the dark streets.
Our bike lives down a rear laneway behind the house. Can you actually get back there?
Yes, laneway bikes are common in Yarraville, and we work them regularly. Tell us which street the laneway runs off, roughly how far along and which gate or fence is yours, since one lane often backs onto several houses. We bring the equipment straight down the lane rather than asking you to wheel the bike out to the street first, gate colour and description included, so we find it on the first pass rather than the second.
Can you meet us at Cruickshank Park if the bike won't restart after a ride?
Yes, that is a normal spot for us to work. Tell us which entrance you used, off Francis Street or Somerville Road, and roughly where in the park the bike is. We bring what a dead battery or ignition fault needs directly to you, even if that means walking the equipment in from the nearest street to the middle of the park, wherever the bike happens to be sitting near the creek or the playground itself.
Can you also handle the car parked right next to the bike in our laneway?
No, we only work on motorcycles, scooters and mopeds, even when a car is parked right beside one in the same laneway. Car locks and ignitions need different training and tools, and we would rather stay within what we know properly than take on work outside it, no matter how convenient it might seem on the day it comes up in the laneway itself, side by side with the car and its own set of locks.
How does Yarraville compare to Seddon and Spotswood for you? Is it all one run?
Pretty much, yes. Yarraville, Seddon and Spotswood sit close enough together that we treat them as one patch rather than three separate trips. Whether the bike is on the Yarraville strip, a Seddon cottage street or a Spotswood driveway, the process is the same: we come to you, confirm a price on the phone first, and sort the job at the bike itself, start to finish, no matter which suburb it lands in on the day.
Bike Trouble Near the Sun Theatre?
From the village strip to a laneway behind the cottages, we come to wherever the bike is parked. Call 0410 380 354 and tell us the nearest landmark, and we will confirm a price before we ever set off toward you, wherever in Yarraville that turns out to be.
