## Keys we cut

- House and apartment keys
- Office, mailbox and file cabinet keys
- Internal-cut and laser-cut car keys
- Transponder car keys (cut and programmed)
- High-security keys, with authorization

## Code machine cutting

We use computer-controlled code machines that cut keys to the manufacturer's specification instead of tracing a worn original. A copy cut by code is often smoother than the key it replaces.

## Why not a hardware store?

Hardware counters are fine for simple house keys. A locksmith can also make keys with no original, cut restricted and high-security keys with authorization, and fix a lock if the problem is the cylinder rather than the key.

## Frequently asked questions

Can you make a key without the original?

Yes, for most locks. We can decode the lock or use the key code. We'll ask for proof that the lock is yours.

Can you copy a key marked 'Do not duplicate'?

Only with permission from the property owner or manager who controls that key system.
