**SECTION 3 | ABOUT US**
We’ve been cutting keys for Delaware County families since the late 1800s. We’re not just the largest locksmith operation in the Delaware Valley—we’re your neighbors who understand what it means to be locked out of your own home.
Our Prospect Park storefront serves Manoa and surrounding communities with the same commitment that’s kept families coming back for over 140 years. When you need keys duplicated, you’re getting more than just a copy—you’re getting a piece of Delaware County history and expertise that spans four generations.
We use OEM parts and manufacturer-approved techniques because we want your duplicate keys to work as well as your originals, not cause problems down the road.
**SECTION 4 | HOW IT WORKS**
Bring your original key to our Prospect Park location, just minutes from Manoa. We examine the key to make sure it’s in good condition for duplication—worn or damaged keys can create copies that don’t work properly.
Our key cutting equipment handles everything from standard house keys to those “hard to find” keys that other places can’t duplicate. We cut each key precisely and test it before you leave to ensure it works smoothly in your locks.
The whole process typically takes just a few minutes. You leave with duplicate keys that work reliably, whether you need them for daily use or emergency backup. No scheduling headaches, no waiting days for special orders—just professional key duplication done right while you wait.
**SECTION 5 | SERVICE-RELATED INFORMATION**
Ready to get started?
Our residential key duplication service covers standard house keys, deadbolts, mailbox keys, and even specialty keys that other places can’t handle. We stock key blanks for major manufacturers like Kwikset, Medeco, and Schlage, so we can duplicate most residential keys on the spot.
Manoa homeowners appreciate that we don’t just cut keys—we make sure they work properly. Each duplicate gets tested, and we’ll adjust the cut if needed to ensure smooth operation in your locks. We’ve been serving Delaware County long enough to know that a key that doesn’t work when you need it isn’t worth having.
For residents managing rental properties or multi-family homes, we can handle larger orders and provide consistent, reliable duplicates for multiple units. Our expertise with master key systems and various lock types means we understand the security considerations that matter to property owners in the area.
**SECTION 6 | FAQ**
Standard house key duplication typically costs between $2-5 per key, depending on the type of key and blank required. We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees or surprise charges.
The cost can vary slightly based on the specific key type and manufacturer, but we’ll always let you know the exact price before we start cutting. For multiple keys or special orders, we may offer volume discounts. Our goal is to provide fair, transparent pricing that reflects the quality and reliability you expect from a family-owned business with over 140 years of experience.
We can handle many restricted and high-security keys, but we follow proper authorization procedures to maintain security standards. For keys marked “Do Not Duplicate,” we typically require proof of ownership or authorization.
High-security keys from manufacturers like Medeco often require special blanks and cutting techniques that not all key shops can handle. As an authorized dealer for major lock manufacturers, we have access to restricted key blanks and the specialized equipment needed for precise duplication. The process may take slightly longer and cost more than standard keys, but you get the security and quality that high-security locks are designed to provide.
Most standard residential keys can be duplicated within minutes while you wait. We cut keys on-site at our Prospect Park location, so there’s no need to drop off keys and come back later.
The exact time depends on the type of key and how many copies you need, but typical house key duplication takes just a few minutes from start to finish. We examine each original key, select the proper blank, cut the duplicate, and test it to make sure it works smoothly. For specialty keys or large orders, we’ll give you an accurate time estimate upfront so you can plan accordingly.
Bring the original key you want duplicated—it should be in good condition without excessive wear, bending, or damage. If your original key is worn or damaged, we can often still make copies, but the quality may be affected.
For high-security or restricted keys, bring identification and any documentation showing you’re authorized to have copies made. If you’re unsure about your key type or have questions about duplication, just bring the original and we’ll examine it to determine the best approach. We stock blanks for most common residential locks, so you typically won’t need to bring anything except the original key and a way to pay.
Yes, we test every duplicate key before you leave to ensure it works properly. If a duplicate doesn’t work correctly, we’ll adjust the cut or make a new copy at no additional charge.
Our four generations of experience mean we know how to cut keys that work reliably in your locks. We use quality blanks and precise cutting equipment, and we take the time to get each key right. If you have any issues with a duplicate key we’ve made, bring it back and we’ll make it right. That’s the kind of service that keeps Delaware County families coming back to us for over 140 years.
If you’ve lost all copies of a key, we can often create new keys by working directly with your lock, but this is a different process than standard duplication. We can take impressions from the lock or decode it to create new keys that will work.
This process typically costs more than standard duplication and may require a service call to your location, depending on the type of lock and situation. For home security, we often recommend rekeying the lock when all keys are lost, which gives you new keys and ensures that any lost keys can’t be used to access your home. We can discuss the best approach based on your specific situation and security needs.
