Why a professional copy matters
A badly cut copy can stick, wear the lock or snap off in the cylinder. Working from the original, or from a key code, we cut on the right blank and check the copy in your lock before we leave.
Do not force the lock
When keys go missing it is tempting to pry a door or window. That usually costs more in repairs than a locksmith visit. If you have no key at all, we can open the door and cut new keys from the lock, or rekey it if the old keys might be in the wrong hands.
Car keys
Many modern car keys contain a transponder chip that must be programmed to the vehicle. We cut and program spares for many makes. See automotive locksmith for more.
Frequently asked questions
Can you copy a key marked “Do Not Duplicate”?
Those keys are part of restricted or controlled systems. We need authorization from the property owner or manager before copying them.
Can you make a key without the original?
Yes, in many cases we can cut a key from the lock itself or from a key code.
How many copies should I keep?
At least one spare stored somewhere safe outside the home, such as with a trusted neighbor or family member.
