Yes, locksmiths with RACV Trades are qualified to make keys for locks without the original key using a few methods:
- cutting keys from a code, or impressioning
- scoping the lock cylinders to read the depths
- disassembling/decoding a cylinder.
Your locksmith may also recommend replacing the cylinder with a new one and issuing all new sets of keys, just in case the original was stolen or lost and might pose a security issue for your home.

Most RACV Trades quotes are free, and provided with no obligation to proceed. Your tradie may need to do a site inspection to give you the most accurate quote.
You may have to pay for a site inspection if further investigation is required to determine the problem. Your tradie will confirm any required payment upfront, prior to arranging a time with you.
Deposits for certain jobs
If your quote is above $1,000, we generally require a deposit before work begins. This is usually 20% of the total cost.
