Here’s everything you need to know about our key cutting services and how we can help you.
What is Key Cutting?
Key cutting is the process of duplicating an existing key by copying the shape, grooves, and notches from the original onto a blank key. This process requires precision to ensure that the new key works smoothly in its respective lock. It’s a straightforward, fast service that can save you time, money, and stress when you need an extra set of keys.

These types of keys require specialized equipment and programming that we don’t handle at this time. If you need a transponder key or similar service, we recommend visiting a car dealership or a specialized locksmith who can assist you.
The Key Cutting Process
The process of key cutting is simple and quick. Here’s how it works:
- Bring in Your Original Key: Whether it’s for your house, padlock, or office, bring in the original key that you need duplicated.
- Selecting the Right Blank: We will select the correct blank key to match the one you need.
- Cutting the Key: Using precision equipment, we’ll cut the new key to match the original.
- Testing the Key: Once the new key is cut, we’ll test it in the lock to ensure it works properly before handing it back to you.
When Should You Get Keys Cut?
-
Moving Into a New Home: It’s always a good idea to have extra keys when you first move into a new place. Having duplicates on hand can help you avoid being locked out or having to scramble for a key when you need it.
-
Losing a Key: If you’ve lost a key or had it stolen, it’s essential to get a duplicate made right away—especially for keys that provide access to your home or business. It’s usually cheaper and quicker than replacing an entire lock.
-
For Family or Housemates: When you share a living space with others, having extra keys is important for convenience and peace of mind.
