Key Duplication Process Rutledge

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we examine your original key to determine the best cutting method and blank type. Our professional key cutting machines are calibrated to factory specifications, ensuring your duplicate matches the original exactly.

We cut your key using precision equipment that accounts for wear on your original key, so your copy actually works better than making a “copy of a copy” elsewhere. Each key gets tested to ensure smooth operation before we hand it to you.

The whole process typically takes just a few minutes for standard house keys. For specialty keys or high-security locks, we might need a bit more time, but we’ll let you know upfront. You can wait in our comfortable storefront or we can call you when your keys are ready.
