Car Locksmith in Kempton Park
The keys are on the passenger seat and every door is locked. Or the key has sheared off in the ignition, or it vanished somewhere between the check-in queue and the parkade. With OR Tambo International Airport inside Kempton Park, a fair amount of car-key trouble here starts with a flight. We're a mobile locksmith, so we come to where the car is: your driveway, a business park, a shopping centre or a public parking area. Cars are one of our regular services, alongside homes, businesses and safes.

Keys lost around the airport
If you've flown back and the key is missing, or it's locked inside the car you left at the airport, call with the make, model and year and the car's location. OR Tambo's parking is spread across several areas: short-stay basement parking by the international terminal, parkades on the north and south sides of the domestic terminal, and long-stay carports. Tell us the parkade, the level and the nearest bay or pillar. We meet customers only where the public can drive in, under the parking operator's rules, so let parking security know a locksmith is on the way. Lost car keys at or near the airport sets out your options.
A rental car belongs to the hire company. Speak to them first; they may have their own procedure, and we can only touch their vehicle with their consent.
Showing the car is yours
Before a car is opened or a key handed over, the technician needs your ID and evidence that you own the vehicle or may drive it: registration papers, a licence disc that matches, or an employer's letter for a fleet or company car. If those papers are in the locked car, mention it on the phone and they'll be checked once the door is open.
Directions that save time
- Shopping centres: name the centre (for example Festival Mall on Kelvin Drive), the entrance or level, and a shop or pillar close by. Let centre security know we're coming.
- Business parks: the park, the gate and the unit, plus a call to the gatehouse.
- Estates and homes: the boom procedure, the electric gate and any dogs.
- Roadside: pull well clear of traffic and share your live location.
What it costs
