What We Duplicate

Quality Matters
Cheap duplicates can fail early. We focus on fit, smooth turning, and dependable function so you are not stuck with a key that works only sometimes.
Duplicating a key you already have
Duplication is the cheap version of car key work and the one worth doing before you need it. With a working key in hand the blade can be copied directly and, on a transponder key, the chip cloned or a new one programmed alongside the original. Most vehicles are done in well under an hour at the roadside or the driveway.
The blade is only half the key on anything built since the late 1990s. Cut a blank without dealing with the transponder and it will turn the ignition and do nothing else, because the immobilizer will not recognize it. That is the usual explanation when someone has a key cut at a kiosk and finds the car will not start.
Laser-cut or sidewinder keys, the ones with a wavy groove milled into the face of the blade rather than notches on the edge, need a different cutting machine from a standard key. They are entirely routine, but they are not something a hardware store counter can produce, which is worth knowing before making the trip.
Frequently asked questions
Because only the blade was copied. On any vehicle with an immobilizer the key also carries a transponder chip that the car has to recognize, and without programming or cloning that chip the engine will not start.
Yes. Laser-cut or sidewinder keys need a milling machine rather than a standard key cutter, which is why hardware counters cannot do them, but they are routine for us.
At least two working keys. The gap between one key and none is the most expensive gap in car key work, because it turns a short duplication job into a full all-keys-lost origination.
