You get comprehensive key duplication for every lock in your Moylan home. Standard house keys, deadbolt keys, high-security keys that can’t be duplicated at big box stores – we handle them all with the same precision and care.
Delaware County homeowners choose us because we stock key blanks other shops don’t carry. Those vintage locks in older Moylan homes built in the 1940s-60s often need special blanks that hardware stores stopped stocking years ago. We keep them in inventory because we understand this area’s unique housing stock.
Our key cutting extends beyond basic duplication. Lost your only key to that basement door or garage? We can often cut replacement keys from lock codes or create new keys when you’re completely locked out. It’s the kind of comprehensive service you only get from locksmiths who’ve been solving Delaware County’s key problems for over a century.
Standard house key duplication typically costs between $4-7 per key, depending on the specific type and complexity. High-security keys that require special blanks or cutting techniques range from $15-25 per duplicate.

Most standard residential keys are cut and tested within 2-5 minutes. You can literally wait while we cut your duplicates – no need to drop off keys and return later like some shops require.
More complex keys, such as high-security or vintage keys requiring special blanks, might take 10-15 minutes as we ensure proper setup and precision cutting. Even our longest key cutting jobs are typically completed while you wait.

For high-security keys, you may need to provide proof of authorization, such as a security card or documentation showing you’re authorized to have duplicates made. We’ll explain any requirements when you bring the key in for evaluation.
If you’ve lost all keys to a particular lock, bring information about the lock manufacturer and any numbers stamped on the lock cylinder. Sometimes we can cut keys from lock codes, though this requires the lock to be accessible for examination and may involve additional service fees.
