Key Copying for Residential, Commercial, and Automotive Use
We have the equipment and blanks to make exact duplicates of all types of keys for your home, car, motorcycle, filing cabinet, padlocks, mailbox, lockbox, safe, luggage, high-security deadbolts, and more.
We duplicate a wide variety of keys for homes, businesses, and certain vehicles. Our machines are calibrated for precision, ensuring each duplicate matches the original profile.
Residential Services: We duplicate keys for doors, padlocks, cabinets, and mailboxes. If you’ve moved recently or need spare keys for family or guests, we’ll make sure each key works properly with your existing locks. If your key is damaged or missing, we also offer rekeying solutions.
Commercial Services: Business owners and property managers often need keys for staff, vendors, or security use. We duplicate keys for retail stores, office suites, warehouses, and multi-unit facilities. If your site uses multiple locks, we can also help organize and duplicate a master key system.
Automotive Services: We can cut and program duplicates of metal keys, fobs, remotes, transponder head keys, and chip keys for foreign and domestic makes and models. Call us for convenient mobile service, and we’ll come to you to make exact copies on-site. You can also stop by one of our 3 storefronts for all your automotive key duplication needs.
Why Key Accuracy Is Essential
Poorly cut keys can jam or prematurely wear out locks. Our equipment is designed to cut precise duplicates based on the original’s specifications. Before you leave, each copy is tested for smooth insertion and operation.
If your existing key is heavily worn, we may recommend rekeying or duplicating from a better spare to ensure functionality. We’ll help you assess whether a new lock and key set may offer better performance for high-traffic doors or older locks.
Choose From Walk-in and Mobile Key Duplication Service
We offer flexible service to meet your schedule and location:
- Walk-in Service: Stop by one of our 3 storefronts to duplicate standard keys for homes, offices, and vehicles. Most orders take just minutes.

Preparing for Key Copying
To copy a key, bring the original or a working duplicate. If the key is broken but the pieces are intact, we may be able to duplicate it. Our technicians will inspect its condition first. For specialty or rare key profiles, availability depends on matching key blanks in our stock.
If duplication is not possible due to damage or missing keys, we offer rekeying and lock replacement options to restore access and control.

Do I need the original key to make a duplicate?

Our staff will advise you on available services, including key cutting or car key replacement.
What should I do if my key is worn, bent, or not working properly?
Bring your key in for inspection if it is worn or no longer turning the lock. We may be able to duplicate from a better copy or adjust the profile using our calibrated cutting machines. In some cases, rekeying the lock or replacing it may offer a more reliable and long-term solution.
