Residential key duplication typically costs between $4-7 per key for standard house keys, depending on the key type and complexity. High-security keys or specialty locks may cost more due to specialized blanks and cutting requirements.
We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, so you know exactly what to expect. Unlike automated kiosks that might charge less but produce poor-quality copies, our professional key cutting ensures your duplicates work reliably from the first use.
Volume discounts are available for multiple keys, and we never charge hidden fees or surprise costs for standard residential key duplication services.
Most standard residential keys are cut and ready within 2-3 minutes at our Prospect Park location. We keep common key blanks in stock, so there’s typically no waiting for special orders or shipping.

Our professional key cutting equipment and expertise produce significantly more accurate results than automated kiosks. We account for wear patterns on your original key, ensuring your duplicates work as smoothly as new keys.
Automated kiosks often create “copies of copies” that gradually lose precision with each duplication. Our equipment and techniques produce keys that match original factory specifications, not just rough approximations.
We also test each key before you leave and guarantee our work. If a key doesn’t work properly, we’ll recut it at no charge. Kiosks offer no such quality assurance or customer service.

The process typically takes longer than standard duplication and costs more due to the additional labor involved. However, it’s often more affordable than replacing the entire lock system when you’ve lost all keys.
