Where can I get a key cut in Joondalup Sat am?
I'm picking up a key blank from the Suzuki dealer this Saturday and need to get it cut before returning it for programming. Anyone know a good place near the Winton Road area. The Lakeside shopping centre kiosk cobblers don't know if they can do it without seeing the key and I haven't yet found a nearby locksmith that either answers the phone, lists an actual address in the yellow pages (rather than just Joondalup) or is open Saturday morning.
Anyone got an idea or am I just going to have to give up on the idea of getting it all done on a Saturday?

There is 2 key cutters in Lakeside isn't there? One just up past the food court.

Yep, both seemed iffy about whether they could do it or not and wanted to see the key first.

And then there's always the possibility they will fuck your key blank when they cut it if they're using the very common non-computerised key cutting method (I don't know the actual term for this..) Especially if the key they are copying is very worn. Considering the cost of a key blank from a dealer, I'll only get my keys cut by someone like Diamond Lock & Key.

Pnork is spot on ,most key cutters are just copying the key you bring them which will give you a copy which is close but not 100 percent perfect ,good locksmiths will decode your key and cut to factory code giving you a as new key .

Hopefully it will be here on Thursday and I can pick it up and get it done in the CBD Friday. Sounds like that's the way to go. Harry Armstrongs is near me, key shouldn't be very worn as its for a track bike that has low kms.
Edit-incidentally the key blank is $85 and the dealer said they'd code it for free, so total cost is less than I expected.
