You need a spare key that actually works. Not one that sticks in the lock or breaks off when you’re rushing to get inside.
Our key duplication process uses precision equipment and quality blanks to create keys that turn smoothly from day one. Whether you’re making copies for family members, creating backups for peace of mind, or need duplicates for that rental property, you get keys that work exactly like your original.
No more standing outside your door wrestling with a poorly cut key. No more emergency locksmith calls because your “backup” key failed when you needed it most.

Walk into our Prospect Park shop with your original key. We examine it first—checking for wear, damage, or unique characteristics that need special attention.

Our precision cutting equipment creates an exact duplicate, matching every groove and ridge of your original. We test each key before handing it to you, ensuring it turns smoothly and operates your lock perfectly.
Most residential key duplication takes just a few minutes. You’re back on the road with working spare keys before you know it.

Most standard house key duplication takes 3-5 minutes at our Prospect Park location. We examine your original key, select the appropriate blank, cut the duplicate using precision equipment, and test it to ensure proper operation.

If you have an unusual or antique key, bring it in. We love the challenge keys that other locksmiths turn away, and our 140+ years of family experience means we’ve likely seen something similar before.
Basic residential key duplication starts at just a few dollars per key, making it one of the most affordable ways to prevent lockouts and improve home security. The exact cost depends on the type of key and blank required.
Standard house keys are the most economical to duplicate, while specialty keys or high-security keys cost more due to restricted blanks and additional verification requirements. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Yes, we can create new keys even when you don’t have an original to copy from. This process involves either decoding your lock or creating keys by impression, depending on your specific situation and lock type.
For standard residential locks, we can often determine the correct key cuts by examining the lock cylinder itself. This takes longer than standard duplication—typically 15-30 minutes—but gets you functioning keys when you thought you were out of options.
This service costs more than simple duplication since it requires specialized techniques and more time, but it’s still much less expensive than replacing entire lock systems. Call us to discuss your specific situation and get accurate pricing.
