What Is Key Duplication?

Key duplication is making an exact working copy of a key you already have. We cut spare keys for front doors, back doors, deadbolts, mailboxes, padlocks, storage units and office doors, and we check each copy so it turns in the lock without a fight. Because our locksmiths work out of mobile vans, we can often cut keys right where you are instead of sending you to a hardware store to hope the copy works.

Why Is Key Duplication Necessary?

A spare key is the cheapest protection against a lockout. Families need copies for kids, babysitters and relatives, landlords need them for tenants and businesses need them for new staff. Worn keys cause problems too: a key that was copied from a copy of a copy can stop working or even wear down the lock over time. Clean, accurate duplicates mean fewer stuck keys, fewer emergency calls and less stress when someone forgets theirs.

What Is Required For Key Duplication?

Have the original key ready, ideally the one in the best shape, not a worn copy. Let us know how many copies you need and what each key is for. Some high security keys are protected and can only be copied with proper authorization, so if your key is stamped 'Do Not Duplicate' or has a special profile, ask us first and we'll explain what's possible. If you don't have any working key at all, that's a different job, and we can rekey or replace the lock instead.
