We duplicate standard house keys, but that’s just the beginning. Automotive keys, mailbox keys, padlock keys, and specialty keys that other shops turn away – we handle them all.
Clifton Heights homeowners often need keys for older locks or unique hardware. We stock a wide variety of key blanks and have the equipment to cut keys that perfectly match your original, even for vintage or uncommon lock types.
High-security keys, restricted keyways, and keys requiring special authorization get proper handling with manufacturer-approved blanks and cutting procedures. Your duplicate keys maintain the same security level as the originals.
Most standard residential keys are duplicated in 2-5 minutes while you wait. House keys, basic padlock keys, and simple automotive keys typically fall into this timeframe.
More complex keys like high-security residential keys, newer automotive keys with chips, or specialty keys may take 10-20 minutes. We handle these the same day you bring them in.
The key cutting process itself is fast – what determines timing is the complexity of your specific key type and whether we need to program any electronic components for automotive keys.
We duplicate virtually every key type: standard house keys, deadbolt keys, automotive keys, mailbox keys, padlock keys, cabinet keys, and specialty keys for safes or unique hardware.
Many Clifton Heights homes have older or unique locks that other shops can’t handle. We stock blanks for vintage keys and have the equipment to cut keys for uncommon lock types that are difficult to duplicate elsewhere.
High-security keys, restricted keyways, and keys requiring manufacturer authorization are handled with proper procedures and approved blanks. If you’re unsure whether your key can be duplicated, bring it in – we’ll let you know immediately.
Yes. Every duplicate key is tested before you leave to ensure it operates your lock smoothly. If a duplicate doesn’t work properly, we recut it at no charge.
Our precision cutting equipment and 140+ years of experience mean duplicate keys work correctly the first time. We use quality blanks and proper cutting techniques, not shortcuts that result in keys that stick or break.
The guarantee covers the key functioning in your lock as intended. If you have issues with a duplicate we made, bring it back and we’ll make it right – that’s how we’ve built trust with Delaware County families for generations.
In most cases, yes, but the process depends on your specific situation and lock type. We can create keys by examining the lock cylinder, using lock codes, or working from broken key pieces.
For residential locks, we can often make keys by disassembling the lock or using manufacturer key codes if available. This service typically requires bringing the lock to our shop or scheduling a service call.
Automotive key creation without an original requires specialized equipment and may involve programming electronic components. We handle these situations regularly for Clifton Heights residents who’ve lost all their keys.
Standard house key duplication starts at a few dollars per key. Basic automotive keys and padlock keys are similarly affordable. More complex keys cost more based on the blank type and cutting complexity required.
High-security keys, automotive keys with electronic components, and specialty keys have higher costs due to expensive blanks and additional programming or cutting time required.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work. No surprises, no hidden fees – just honest pricing for quality key duplication that works reliably for years.
Our shop operates Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM for walk-in key duplication services. For emergency situations outside these hours, we provide mobile locksmith services to Clifton Heights.
Emergency key duplication typically involves situations where you’re locked out and need immediate access. We can often cut keys on-site or provide temporary solutions until regular shop hours.
For non-emergency key duplication, our regular shop hours provide the best service with access to our full range of key blanks and cutting equipment. Most customers find our hours convenient for planned key duplication needs.
