Key Duplication
Spare keys that actually work the first time: house, car, business and padlock keys.
Spare Keys Cut Right the First Time
A spare key is only useful if it works. Keys copied from a worn original, or cut on a poorly adjusted machine, often stick or fail just when you need them. All Key Services Locksmith cuts duplicates on professional machines and checks each key before we hand it over.
Keys We Duplicate
- House and apartment keys
- Business and office keys
- Car keys, including transponder chip keys
- Laser-cut / high-security car keys
- Padlock, mailbox and cabinet keys
- Keys for gates, sheds and farm equipment
Copying a Worn Key
If your only key is badly worn, a straight copy copies the wear. Where possible, we cut new keys to the original code so they work like a new key.
Car Keys Are Different
Most car keys since the late 1990s contain a chip. A hardware store copy may unlock the door but won't start the engine. We cut and program chip keys so your spare works in the ignition. See car key replacement for more.
"Do Not Duplicate" Keys
For business keys stamped "do not duplicate" or restricted keyways, we need authorization from the property owner or key system manager. If you want tighter control over copies, ask about a restricted key system.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you copy a car key with a chip?
Yes. We cut the blade and clone or program the chip so the key starts the car.
Can you make a key without the original?
Yes. For many locks we can make a key by decoding or impressioning the lock. For vehicles we can use the key code with proof of ownership.
Why doesn't my hardware-store copy work?
It may be cut from a worn original or on a machine out of calibration. A locksmith copy cut to code usually solves it.
