Hear from Our Customers
You know the frustration of a key that almost works. The one that takes three tries and a prayer just to unlock your front door. That’s what happens when key duplication goes wrong.
Here’s what happens when it goes right. You walk up to your door, insert the key, and it turns smoothly on the first try. Every time. Your spare key works exactly like your original because it was cut with precision equipment by someone who’s done this thousands of times.
No more getting stuck outside your Millbourne home because your “backup” key doesn’t actually work when you need it most.
Our family has been cutting keys since the late 1800s. That’s not marketing fluff—it’s four generations of locksmiths who understand that when your key doesn’t work, your whole day stops.
We’ve been serving Delaware County residents from our Prospect Park location for decades. We know the older homes in Millbourne, the quirky locks that need special attention, and the challenge keys that make other locksmiths scratch their heads.
When you bring us a worn key or need a duplicate of something unusual, we don’t just run it through a machine and hope for the best. We examine it, measure it, and cut it right.
First, we examine your original key. Not all keys are created equal, and a worn key needs different handling than a fresh one. We look for wear patterns, check the depth of cuts, and determine the best approach for your specific key type.
Next comes the cutting. We use precision equipment that reads your key’s exact specifications, accounting for any wear that might affect how a straight copy would work. This isn’t about making a copy of a copy—it’s about creating a key that works like your original did when it was new.
Finally, we test the new key to make sure it operates smoothly. If it doesn’t meet our standards, we cut another one. You leave with a key that works, not one that might work.

Standard house keys are straightforward, but Millbourne homes often need more than standard service. We handle high-security keys, restricted keyways, and those oddball keys for older locks that other places can’t duplicate.
Many homes in the area have multiple lock types—front door deadbolts, back door knob sets, basement locks that use different key blanks. We keep extensive key blank inventory so you can get everything done in one trip instead of running around to multiple locations.
We also cut keys for mailboxes, garage doors, and those specialty applications that big-box stores can’t handle. When you need a key duplicated and other places say “we can’t do that,” bring it to us. We love the challenge keys.
Most standard house keys are cut within minutes while you wait. We keep common key blanks in stock, so there’s no waiting for special orders or return trips.
Complex keys or high-security blanks might take a bit longer, but we’ll tell you upfront if there are any delays. We’ve found that most people prefer to wait a few extra minutes for a key that’s done right rather than get a quick copy that doesn’t work properly.
If you’re in a rush, call ahead and we can have your keys ready for pickup.
Yes, but we need proper authorization. If it’s your key, you’ll need to show identification and proof of ownership or residency.
For business or restricted keys, we require written authorization from the key holder or property manager. This protects everyone involved and ensures keys aren’t duplicated without permission.
We take security seriously, which is why we verify authorization rather than just duplicating any key that comes through the door. It’s an extra step that protects your property and gives you peace of mind.
Worn keys are actually our specialty. We can often create a better working duplicate from a worn original than you’d expect.
We examine wear patterns and use techniques to compensate for the damage. Sometimes we can restore the proper depth to cuts that have worn down over time. The goal is creating a key that works like your original did when it was new.
If the original is too damaged to duplicate effectively, we can often create a new key by working directly with your lock. This takes longer but ensures you get a properly functioning key.
Yes, our mobile units serve the Millbourne area with fully equipped vans that can handle most key duplication on-site.
This is especially useful for car keys that need programming, or when you have multiple keys to duplicate and prefer the convenience of service at your location. We bring the key cutting equipment to you.
Mobile service is scheduled by appointment and there’s a service call fee, but it saves you time and travel. Call to check availability and schedule a time that works for your schedule.
Standard house keys typically run $3-6 per key, depending on the type of blank required. High-security or specialty keys cost more due to restricted blanks and additional cutting complexity.
We give you the price upfront before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees. If you have multiple keys to duplicate, we can often offer better per-key pricing.
Car keys vary widely based on the type of key and programming requirements. We’ll evaluate your specific needs and provide an accurate quote before starting any work.
We duplicate mailbox keys, padlock keys, cabinet keys, desk keys, and most specialty applications. Our extensive key blank inventory covers both common and unusual key types.
We also handle car keys, including transponder keys that require programming. Many automotive keys that dealerships charge $200+ for, we can duplicate for significantly less while you wait.
If you have an unusual key or aren’t sure if it can be duplicated, bring it in. We’ve been doing this long enough that we’ve seen most key types, and we enjoy the challenge of the unusual ones.
