Frequently Asked Questions
Can you duplicate any type of key?
We can duplicate most standard residential and commercial keys. However, some high-security keys are restricted and require proper authorization. Keys marked "Do Not Duplicate" may require additional verification.
How long does key cutting take?
Most standard keys can be cut in just 5-10 minutes while you wait. More complex keys like dimple keys or high-security keys may take 15-20 minutes.
Do I need to bring the original key?
Yes, we need the original key to create an accurate duplicate. We cannot cut keys from photos, descriptions, or lock impressions for security reasons.
How many copies can I get?
You can get as many copies as you need. However, for restricted key systems, there may be limitations based on your authorization level.
Can you cut keys from a photo or code?
In some cases, we can cut keys based on the key code if you have this information. However, cutting keys from photos is not reliable for security reasons. For lost keys, we recommend our key replacement service where we can create new keys by examining your lock.
