    Required after hours assistance to unlock my son’s bedroom door. Sent a Text to Noel and received a prompt friendly text reply giving the cost effective afterhours call out fee and an ETA of 15 mins. What an amazing person and service. He also made us 2 keys. I would definitely recommend Noel and his service.

    Very satisfied! C.S.I. had my car for 30 mins and were able to programme my new key card for a very reasonable price and then offered advice about how they could fix my old key card fairly easily. Another local locksmith had my car for 5 hours and left me with no explanation of why they couldn't programme the key card. Wish I had of visited these guys sooner! Highly recommend!!!!

Frequently asked questions

  • Yes. All our work and the products we install come with a full guarantee. If something's not right we come back and sort it.

  • Most people don't realise their policy might cover it, or even include free key replacement. Replacement keys can cost $500-$700 so it's worth checking. We deal with this all the time and can help you through the claim.

  • Cash, EFTPOS, Paywave, mobile payments, or Afterpay. Whatever's easiest for you, on the spot.

  • We've got the most advanced key cutting gear in Whanganui. Most makes and models done on the spot, transponder keys, remotes, you name it. A fraction of what a dealer would charge.
