What Brings Us Out to Bundoora
Bundoora splits between a university that never really empties and streets of big post-war blocks with room to store a bike. Our work here reflects both, and these four jobs turn up more than any others.
La Trobe Campus Car Parks
Thousands of people ride to the Bundoora campus, and the bike bays off Kingsbury Drive and Plenty Road are where a lot of keys are last seen. Campus parking is spread across numbered car parks that look identical from the road, so give us the car park number and the building you are closest to. We come to the bay, cut a key from the lock and code it there, with no tow involved.
Sheds at the Back of Big Blocks
Plenty of Bundoora houses sit on quarter-acre blocks with a shed or a lean-to right down the back, and that is where the project bike lives. A machine that has not turned a wheel for two winters often has a seized or worn barrel rather than a lost key. We work in the shed, on the gravel or on the lawn, with our own light and power if the shed has neither of them.
Polaris and Bundoora Square Bays
Riders stop at Polaris and Bundoora Square for twenty minutes and come back out to find the key gone, snapped in the seat lock or dropped somewhere between the aisles. Centre bike bays are usually a short walk from a trolley bay or an entrance, which suits us because we can park close and work beside the bike. Tell us which entrance you are near and stay put.
Scooters Around Student Housing
Around Kingsbury Drive and the streets behind the campus, scooters are the practical way to get to a lecture and a shift. They also get moved between share houses, sold on with one worn key and left out in the weather for years. We cut fresh keys from the lock, code the chip where the scooter uses one and sort seat locks that have stopped turning altogether.

How Our Bundoora 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 Bundoora it is parked. We confirm a price before we travel.
2. We come to Bundoora
We travel to the bike wherever it sits in Bundoora — kerbside, car park, laneway or driveway. Nothing needs towing.

Long Driveways, Campus Car Parks and Court Addresses
Bundoora is a suburb of wide streets, deep driveways and courts that end in a bulb of six or seven houses, which makes an address harder to describe than it sounds. Add a university with numbered car parks and a town centre spread over both sides of Plenty Road, and the difference between an easy arrival and a long lap of the block comes down to what you tell us on the phone.
A street number and the closest cross street is all we usually need in the residential parts. On campus, the car park number matters more than the building name. If the bike is inside a shed, behind a side gate or in a unit block’s rear car park, say so when you call so we bring the right lighting and know who needs to be there to open up.
Driveways and side gates
Most Bundoora jobs happen on a driveway or beside a shed. We park on the nature strip side, keep the kerb clear and work where the bike already stands.
Numbered campus bays
La Trobe car parks look alike from Kingsbury Drive. Quote the car park number and the nearest building and we will drive straight to that bay rather than circling.
Centre car parks
At Polaris and Bundoora Square we work in the bay itself. Name the entrance or the level of the deck you parked on and stay with the bike until we arrive.
Courts and cul-de-sacs
Bundoora has a lot of short courts with similar names. Give us the street you turn off as well as the court name so we do not circle the estate looking.
Worth knowing: Have the registration papers handy when you call. The exact make, model and year decides which key blanks and programming equipment we load before leaving.
Not sure we can reach your bike?
Describe the spot and we will tell you straight away. We work Bundoora every week and very little surprises us. Call 0410 380 354.

Bundoora Motorcycle Locksmith FAQs
I have lost my only key at La Trobe. Do I need a tow off campus?
No. We come onto campus and work at the bay where the bike is parked. The lock on the bike carries the information we need, so we read it there, cut a matching blade and program the transponder if your model has one. Send us the car park number when you call, stay with the bike if you can, and the job finishes exactly where it started.
The bike has sat in the shed for years and the ignition will not turn. Can you fix that in the backyard?
Usually. A barrel that has sat through a few Bundoora winters is often full of dried grease and corrosion rather than actually broken, and it can be cleaned, freed and re-keyed where it stands. If the wafers are worn past saving we replace the barrel instead. We work in the shed or on the lawn and bring our own light, so the bike stays put throughout.
Can I get a second key made before I lose the first one?
That is the sensible order to do it in, and it is a far shorter visit than a lost key job. We come to your driveway or workplace with the existing key, cut a duplicate and program the chip so both keys start the bike. Booking a spare while the original still works also means you are never relying on a single worn key at the shops.
How does pricing work for a Bundoora callout?
We confirm a price on the phone before we travel. To do that we need the make, model and year, whether the bike has a transponder or a proximity system, and whether you have any key left at all. Those three things decide the equipment and the time involved. Once we have agreed the figure on the phone, that is the figure, and nothing changes at the bike.
When can I actually reach someone?
The phone is answered from 7am to 10pm, seven days a week, and Michael is the person who picks it up rather than a call centre. Outside those hours the phone simply is not answered, so call again in the morning and we will pick up the job then. Ringing early in the day usually helps us reach a Bundoora address the same day.
Stuck With a Bike in Bundoora?
Campus car park, backyard shed or the bays outside Polaris, we come to the bike and work where it stands. Call 0410 380 354 and we will talk through the model and confirm a price before we travel.
