We duplicate standard house keys, deadbolt keys, and those hard-to-find specialty keys that big box stores can’t handle. Our key duplication service covers everything from basic residential keys to complex high-security keys that require specialized blanks and cutting techniques.
Yeadon residents choose us because we stock key blanks that most other shops don’t carry. Whether you’ve got an older home with unique locks or a newer property with high-security hardware, we have the blanks and expertise to get you working duplicates.
We also handle key cutting for safes, mailboxes, and other specialty applications. If you can bring us the original, we can almost certainly duplicate it—and we’ll tell you upfront if it’s something we can’t do rather than waste your time.
Standard house key duplication typically costs between $3-8 per key, depending on the type of key and blank required. We provide upfront pricing before we start cutting, so you know exactly what you’ll pay.
High-security keys or specialty blanks may cost more, but we’ll explain the pricing difference and show you why certain keys require more expensive blanks or specialized cutting techniques. We keep our prices fair and competitive—significantly less than what you’d pay at a dealership for automotive keys, and often better than big box stores for the same quality.
Most Yeadon customers find our pricing reasonable, especially considering the quality and expertise that comes with every key we cut.
Yes, we specialize in cutting keys that stump other locksmiths and hardware stores. With over 60,000 different key blanks in stock and four generations of locksmithing experience, we regularly handle keys that others can’t duplicate.
We’ve successfully cut keys for vintage locks, European hardware, high-security systems, and specialty applications that require precise cutting techniques. Our extensive inventory means we likely have the exact blank you need, even for older or uncommon lock systems.
If you’ve been told your key can’t be duplicated elsewhere, bring it to our Prospect Park shop. We’ll examine it and give you an honest assessment of whether we can help—and if we can’t, we’ll explain why and suggest alternatives.
Most standard house keys are cut and tested within 2-5 minutes. We don’t make you wait around unless there’s a line of customers ahead of you, and even then, key cutting moves quickly.
More complex keys or specialty blanks might take a few extra minutes, especially if we need to locate a specific blank from our inventory or use specialized cutting techniques. We’ll let you know upfront if your particular key will take longer than usual.
The key difference is that we test every key before you leave, which adds about 30 seconds but ensures you’re walking out with keys that actually work. This small extra step prevents you from discovering problems when you get home.
No appointment necessary for standard key duplication. Just walk into our Prospect Park shop during business hours with your original key, and we’ll get you taken care of right away.
We operate on a first-come, first-served basis for key cutting, and since most keys are duplicated within minutes, you rarely wait long. Our shop hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM.
For more complex locksmith services beyond basic key duplication, we might recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure we have adequate time and any specialized equipment ready. But for standard house key copying, just stop by when it’s convenient for you.
Bring the original key that works properly in your lock. We need a good working original to create accurate duplicates—damaged or worn keys can result in copies that don’t function correctly.
If you’re duplicating keys for multiple locks, bring one original key for each different lock type. Different locks often require different key blanks, even if they look similar, so we need to match each one precisely.
Let us know how many copies you need of each key. We can cut multiple duplicates from the same original, and it’s often more efficient to get all your spares made at once rather than making separate trips.
Yes, when cut properly with quality blanks and precise equipment, duplicated keys function identically to your originals. We use high-grade key blanks and professional cutting equipment to ensure your copies work smoothly from the first use.
We test every key we cut in our shop before you leave, so you know your duplicates will work properly in your actual locks. This quality control step is crucial—many key-cutting problems only become apparent when you try to use the key at home.
Our four generations of experience means we understand the small details that make the difference between a key that works perfectly and one that sticks or binds in your locks. You get the reliability that comes with proper technique and quality materials.
