Our key duplication service covers everything from standard house keys to high-security residential locks. We work with major lock manufacturers like Kwikset, Schlage, and Medeco, using OEM-quality blanks that ensure long-lasting performance.
Wallingford homeowners appreciate that we can handle those older, hard-to-find keys that other places can’t duplicate. Whether it’s a vintage lock on a historic home or a modern high-security system, we have the expertise and equipment to get it done right.
We also provide key cutting for mailboxes, padlocks, and other residential security needs. One trip to our shop covers all your home key requirements.
Most standard residential keys are duplicated within 5-10 minutes while you wait at our Prospect Park location. We keep common key blanks in stock and use professional-grade cutting equipment that ensures accuracy without rushing the process.
For specialty keys or high-security locks, the process might take 15-20 minutes as we take extra care to ensure perfect precision. Unlike automated kiosks that can produce inaccurate copies, our experienced technicians verify each key before you leave.
We’d rather take a few extra minutes to get it right than have you return because a poorly cut key doesn’t work properly.
Absolutely. With over 140 years in the locksmithing business, we’ve worked on virtually every type of residential lock you’ll find in Wallingford’s historic neighborhoods.
We maintain an extensive inventory of key blanks, including those for older lock systems that many other places can’t handle. Our experience with vintage and antique locks means we understand the nuances of cutting keys for older mechanisms.
Whether it’s a 1920s colonial or a Victorian-era home, we have the expertise and materials needed to create working duplicates for your unique locks.
Professional key cutting uses calibrated, maintained equipment operated by experienced technicians who can select the perfect key blank and verify accuracy. Kiosk machines often lack proper calibration and can’t choose the ideal blank for your specific key.
Our technicians inspect your original key, select the exact matching blank, and test each duplicate to ensure smooth operation. We can also identify worn originals and adjust our cutting technique accordingly.
Kiosks simply copy whatever you insert, including any wear patterns or imperfections that could cause problems. Professional cutting eliminates these issues and produces keys that often work better than your worn original.
Yes, we stand behind every key we cut. If a duplicate we create doesn’t work properly in your lock, we’ll recut it at no charge or refund your money.
Our four generations of experience and professional-grade equipment mean key failures are extremely rare. When they do occur, it’s usually due to lock wear rather than cutting errors.
We also provide guidance on when lock maintenance or replacement might be needed if your keys aren’t working smoothly, helping you avoid future problems before they leave you locked out.
Yes, we’re authorized to work with major high-security lock manufacturers including Medeco, Schlage, and Kwikset. These keys require specialized equipment and blanks that aren’t available at hardware stores or kiosks.
High-security key duplication requires proof of ownership and authorization, which we verify according to manufacturer guidelines. This protects your home security while ensuring you can get legitimate duplicates when needed.
Our investment in professional-grade cutting equipment means we can handle the precise tolerances required for these advanced lock systems, maintaining their security features in every duplicate.
Most families benefit from having 2-3 spare keys beyond their daily-use originals. This typically includes one hidden securely on the property, one with a trusted neighbor or family member, and one kept as a backup inside the home.
The key is balancing convenience with security. Too few spares leave you vulnerable to lockouts, while too many increase the risk of unauthorized access if they’re not properly managed.
We recommend starting with 2-3 duplicates and adjusting based on your family’s needs. Parents with teenage children, for example, often need additional copies, while single homeowners might need fewer.
