Why One Key is a Gamble

Driving with a single key is living dangerously. If it gets lost, stolen, or breaks, you turn a $90 convenience into a $300 emergency. We duplicate keys on-site, using high-precision cutters that often produce keys better than the worn original.

The 'Do Not Duplicate' Myth

Many keys are stamped 'Do Not Duplicate', but this is usually just a manufacturer deterrent, not a legal restriction for car owners. As long as you can prove ownership of the vehicle, we can legally duplicate your key.

Keys We Clone Daily

🛡️

Metal Keys (Old School)

Simple metal keys for pre-1996 vehicles. We cut these in minutes using direct code cutting for factory precision.

Low
🛡️

Transponder Keys

Keys with an embedded chip. We clone the chip data to a new blank so the car's computer recognizes it immediately.

Medium
🛡️

Laser / Sidewinder

High-security keys with a milled groove used by Honda, Lexus, and VW. We have the specific milling machines for these.

Mobile Duplication Workflow

1

Identification

We identify your keyway profile (e.g., FO38, TR47) and the specific transponder chip ID (e.g., ID46, Megamos Crypto).

2

Decoding

We measure your existing key's cuts. If it's worn, we 'code cut' the new key to factory specs rather than tracing the wear.

3

Cloning

For chip keys, we use a cloning device to copy the digital signature of your original key onto the new key's chip.

4

Verification

We test the new key in the door and ignition cylinders to ensure smooth turning and instant engine start.

FAQ: Key Copies

My key is very worn. Can you copy it?
Yes, and we can often improve it! Instead of tracing the worn outline, we decode the cuts and cut the new key to the original factory depth, essentially restoring your key to 'new' condition.
Do I need the car present?
For simple metal keys, no. For transponder keys, usually yes. We need to verify that the duplicated chip actually communicates with the car's immobilizer.
Is it cheaper than the dealership?
Significantly. Dealerships often charge $200+ for transponder keys. We typically charge 50% less and come to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car key duplication cost?

Car key duplication costs range from $45-$175 depending on the key type. Standard metal keys start at $45-$75, while transponder keys with chip programming typically cost $95-$175. Luxury vehicle keys with advanced security features may be higher. We provide exact pricing before starting any work.

Can you duplicate transponder keys?

Yes! We can duplicate and program transponder keys for all vehicle makes and models. Our mobile units are equipped with professional transponder programming equipment that allows us to cut the key blade and program the chip to your vehicle's immobilizer system on-site.

Do I need my original key to make a duplicate?

Ideally yes, having your original key makes duplication faster and easier. However, if you've lost all your keys, we can still create new keys for your vehicle using key code databases and our professional key cutting equipment. This process may take longer and cost more.

How long does key duplication take?

Standard key duplication typically takes 10-15 minutes on-site. Transponder key duplication with programming usually takes 20-30 minutes. Complex high-security keys may require 30-45 minutes. We complete most key duplication while you wait.

Will my duplicated key work as well as the original?

Absolutely! We use precision key cutting equipment that creates duplicates to exact factory specifications. We test every key before leaving to ensure it operates your locks and ignition smoothly. Our duplicates are identical to dealer-cut keys in quality and function.

Can you make spare keys for older vehicles?

Yes! We can duplicate keys for vehicles of all ages, from classic cars to the latest models. For older vehicles with worn locks, we can even cut keys that work better than worn originals by using key code specifications to restore proper depth and spacing.
