Bring your original key to our Prospect Park shop and we’ll examine it to determine the best cutting approach. Some keys require special techniques or blanks, especially if they’re worn, unusual, or from older lock systems.
We use precision key cutting equipment that reads your original key’s exact specifications, then cuts your duplicate to match those precise measurements. This isn’t like those automated kiosks you see in stores—our technicians oversee every cut to ensure accuracy.
Before you leave, we test your new key to make sure it operates smoothly in the lock. If something isn’t quite right, we adjust it on the spot. Most residential key duplication takes just a few minutes, and you’ll have perfectly working spare keys ready to use immediately.
