Michael works only on motorcycle, scooter, moped and trail-bike locks and keys, rather than cars, homes or commercial premises.
Motorcycle key cutting and programming equipment comes to the bike at the confirmed Australian service location.
Key cutting, transponder programming, replacement keys and ignition lock repairs are handled at the bike.
Before cutting or programming any key, Michael checks identification and proof of ownership.
What Brings Us to Moorabbin
Moorabbin is warehouses and workshops wrapped around a station and a shopping strip, so most of what we see here has a job attached to it.
Factory Estate Callouts
The streets off Cochranes Road, Keys Road and Chesterville Road are wall-to-wall warehouses, and the bikes parked out the front belong to people on the clock. A lost key at three in the afternoon is a problem for the shift, not just the rider. We come into the yard, work beside the bike and get it starting without anything being loaded onto a truck.
Station Street Commuter Bikes
Bikes and scooters sit all day around Moorabbin station while their riders are in the city, and a key that goes missing at the other end of the line means arriving back to a machine that will not move. Ring us from the platform if you like. We meet you at the bay, cut a key from the lock and have you riding home.
Courier and Delivery Scooters
Plenty of Moorabbin scooters do runs between the industrial estates, the shops on South Road and the outlet crowd out at the airport. They cover serious distance, and their locks wear accordingly: sloppy barrels, keys worn thin, ignitions that need a wiggle to catch. We recut worn keys and rebuild or replace barrels before the wiggle turns into a breakdown.
Weekends at RSEA Park
Moorabbin Oval still fills on a weekend, and the streets around Linton Street fill with it. Keys disappear in kit bags, on the terrace and somewhere between the ground and the pub. If that is your afternoon, leave the bike chained where it is and call. We will find you from the cross street and sort the key at the kerb.

How Our Moorabbin 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 Moorabbin it is parked. We confirm a price before we travel.
2. We come to Moorabbin
We travel to the bike wherever it sits in Moorabbin — kerbside, car park, laneway or driveway. Nothing needs towing.
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.
Loading Bays, Station Bays and Kerbside Work
Moorabbin is an easy suburb to work in once we know which gate to use. Industrial streets have wide kerbs and loading bays with plenty of room, and the residential pockets behind them have normal driveways. The awkward spots are the shared yards where several businesses use one entrance, and South Road itself, which stays busy from early until late and is no place to be kneeling beside a bike.
Tell us the unit number as well as the street number, because the estates run in rows and the numbering rarely helps. If the bike is inside a fenced yard or behind a roller door, we need to know who can open it and until what time. For station or shopping strip callouts, the nearest cross street and a description of the bike is plenty to go on.
Unit numbers first
In the estates the unit number matters more than the street number. Give us both, plus the business name on the door if there is one.
Roller doors and gates
If the bike lives behind a roller door, tell us who holds the key and how late the yard stays open. We plan around it.
Around the station
Station bays are straightforward. Name the side of the line and the nearest exit, and we will come to the bike where it is chained.
South Road traffic
South Road is no place to work on a bike. If you can move it into a side street or a car park safely, do that and tell us where.
Worth knowing: If the bike belongs to a business, have someone on site with the registration papers. We check ownership before cutting on every job, without exception.
Not sure we can reach your bike?
Describe the spot and we will tell you straight away. We work Moorabbin every week and very little surprises us. Call 0410 380 354.

Moorabbin Motorcycle Locksmith FAQs
Can you get to a bike parked inside a factory yard off Keys Road?
Yes. Industrial yards are routine for us. We need the unit number, the business name and someone who can open the gate while we are there. Once we are in, the whole job happens beside the bike: reading the lock, cutting the key, programming a chip if the model uses one, and testing everything before we pack up.
My work scooter's key is worn and sometimes will not turn. Should I wait until it fails?
Waiting usually costs more than acting. A worn key wears the barrel as well, so what starts as a key that needs jiggling ends as a barrel that has to be replaced. We can cut a fresh key to the original lock profile rather than copying the worn one, which restores the fit. If the barrel is already sloppy we will tell you that on the spot.
Do you charge to come out to Moorabbin?
We confirm a price on the phone before we travel, so there are no surprises when we arrive. What we need from you first is the make, model and year, whether any key exists, and exactly where the bike is. With that we can be clear about what the job involves and what it comes to, and you decide before anyone drives anywhere.
Our business runs a small fleet of bikes. Can you cut spares for all of them?
Yes, and doing it in one visit makes sense for a fleet. We come to the yard, work through the bikes in turn and cut spares keyed to each machine, programming chips where the models require it. Have the registration papers for every bike on hand, because we check ownership on each one before cutting. Ring during the day and we will sort the details then.
It is late and the bike is stuck outside a Moorabbin warehouse. Will someone answer?
The phone is answered from 7am to 10pm, seven days, so if you ring inside those hours you will get a person. After 10pm it is not answered at all, and the honest advice is to lock the bike, leave it and call us in the morning. We will tell you then when we can be there and what the job will involve.
Back on the Road in Moorabbin
