Key Duplication Services
Accurate, guaranteed-to-work key copying for homes, businesses, and vehicles. We cut keys perfectly the first time, right at your location.
Precision Key Cutting, Not Kiosks
We've all been there: you go to a big-box hardware store, stick your key into an automated kiosk, pay for a duplicate, and return home only to find the new key sticks, binds, or refuses to turn at all. When you need a spare key, you need one that works smoothly every single time.
Automated kiosks and untrained store clerks often use misaligned machines that drift out of calibration. Worse, if they copy a key that is already heavily worn, the machine duplicates those flaws, creating a copy of a copy that barely functions.
Our mobile locksmiths use professional-grade, regularly calibrated cutting machines. We visually inspect the original key for wear. If your key is too worn down, we don't just copy the damage, we decode the key to determine its original factory bitting, and we cut a fresh "original" key to exact manufacturer specifications. We provide perfect copies, tested on your door before we leave.
The Importance of Spare Keys
A spare key is the cheapest insurance policy against a lockout. Hiding a spare house key in a secure lockbox or giving one to a trusted neighbor prevents expensive emergency calls at midnight.
This is especially true for automotive keys. Modern car keys have transponder chips inside. If you lose your only car key, generating a completely new one from scratch requires specialized diagnostic programming and is significantly more expensive. Having us duplicate a spare while you still have a working key saves you hundreds of dollars and a major headache later.
For businesses, controlled duplication is vital. We supply and duplicate restricted, high-security keys (for authorized managers) that cannot be legally copied anywhere else, ensuring you maintain absolute key control over your facility.
What's Included in Our Service
Common Duplication Scenarios
- New Roommate or Partner
Someone new is moving in, and you need an extra house key. We can cut multiple precise copies quickly, ensuring everyone has reliable access from day one.
- Lost the Spare Car Key
You only have one key left for your vehicle. Don't wait until you lose it! We come to your driveway, cut a new transponder key, and program it to your car's immobilizer.
- "Do Not Duplicate" Business Keys
If you manage a business and have proper authorization on file for restricted commercial keys (like Medeco or Best IC cores), we have the exclusive blanks to copy them for your new staff.
- The Original Key is Worn Out
Your old brass key barely turns the lock anymore. We decode the worn teeth to determine the original cuts, and punch a brand new key that acts like it just came from the factory.
The Mobile Duplication Process
Arrival & Inspection
We arrive in our mobile shop. The technician visually inspects your original key for wear, bending, or damage before placing it in the machine.
Precision Cutting
Using calibrated cutters or laser-milling machines for cars, we duplicate the exact profile. If worn, we use a punch machine to originate it by code.
Transponder Programming
For modern vehicles, cutting the blade is only half the job. We plug a diagnostic tool into your car's OBD2 port to pair the new chip to the immobilizer.
On-Site Testing
We test every newly cut key in the actual lock right there on the spot. You never have to drive back to complain about a key that doesn't turn.
