Perth Spare Car Keys

Having a spare car key is one of the simplest ways to avoid the inconvenience and expense of being locked out or stranded. If your only key is lost, stolen, broken, or stops working, having a spare means you can get back on the road immediately without the need for an emergency key replacement.

It's also significantly more affordable to have a spare key cut and programmed while you still have a working key. Replacing a lost key often involves more complex programming procedures and labour, which can increase both the time and cost.

At Horizon Locksmiths, we supply, cut, and program a wide range of spare car keys , including transponder keys, remote keys, flip keys, and smart proximity keys. Our mobile automotive locksmith service covers Perth and surrounding areas, providing convenient on-site key cutting and programming for most vehicle makes and models.

How Much Does a Spare Car Key Cost?

The cost depends on the make and model of your vehicle, along with the type of key required. Basic transponder keys are generally less expensive than remote keys or smart proximity keys.
We'll provide an upfront over the phone quote before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect with no hidden surprises.

Can You Make More Than One Spare Key?

Yes. Many customers choose to have two or more spare keys made at the same time, especially for family vehicles or company fleets.

Can I Supply My Own Key?

In many cases, yes. If you've already purchased a replacement key or remote, we may be able to cut and program it for your vehicle.
However, not all aftermarket keys are compatible or of the same quality. Different countries have different set frequencies for their keys which ads a risk when buying keys overseas as they may not match your Australian Vehicle.
We'll inspect the key first and let you know whether it's suitable before programming.

How Long Does It Take to Make a Spare Car Key?

Most spare car keys can be cut and programmed within 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the vehicle make, model, and key type.

Some European and luxury vehicles may require additional programming time.

Can I Choose a Different Style of Car Key?

Yes. For many vehicles, we can offer a range of replacement key designs to suit your preferences. Depending on what is available for your vehicle, you may be able to choose from:

Standard transponder keys
Remote keys
Flip (switchblade) keys
Smart proximity keys
Genuine OEM keys (where available)

Many aftermarket keys offer the same functionality as the original key while providing a fresh, modern design at a more affordable price. We carry the popular designs in stock but can offer other designs if desired. Please note that other designs will likely cost more and have a longer waiting period.

Before programming your new key, we'll discuss the available options for your specific vehicle and help you choose the style that best suits your needs.

All keys we supply are professionally cut, programmed, and tested to ensure they operate your vehicle correctly.
