Watch as we transform a brand-new Toyota Hiace from an empty shell into a fully functional locksmith workshop on wheels — all for under $4,500 AUD, including signwriting (excluding stock and machines).

This in-house Dr Lock build brings fresh ideas to improve working positions, comfort, practicality, safety, and speed of use. The design revolves around a rear stand-up workbench with slide-out drawers for instant access to tools and stock, a slide-out heavy-duty vice for safe and clean cutting, and a key machine enclosure that keeps brass shavings contained for a cleaner, safer workspace.

We’ve added smart storage for key blanks, small parts, and tools — all labelled and within arm’s reach. A weather-ready secondary workbench, protected windows, bright COB LED lighting, and even a custom step ladder holder make this setup efficient in every way.

The best part? It’s fully removable and transferable to the next Hiace with no extra holes drilled, protecting your vehicle’s resale value. Considering most van fitouts start around $8,000–$20,000, this budget build proves you don’t have to spend big for professional results.
