Key Cutting Process Radnor

How We Duplicate Your Keys

First, we examine your original key to determine the best duplication method and select the right blank. This step matters because using the wrong blank creates keys that don’t work properly.

Next, we use precision cutting equipment to replicate your key’s exact specifications. Our machines are calibrated for accuracy, so your new key fits and turns just like the original.

Finally, we test each key before handing it over. If it doesn’t work perfectly, we make adjustments or cut a new one. You leave with keys you can rely on, not keys that might work.
