Key Duplication Process
Regardless of the key type, our key duplication process follows a proven, step-by-step approach to ensure accurate and reliable results.
Key Identification: The first step is to accurately identify the key. Our technicians will carefully examine the key, taking note of its size, shape, and any unique features or markings. This information helps us determine the appropriate key blank and duplication method.
Key Cutting: Once the key type is identified, we use specialized key cutting machines to precisely duplicate the key. These machines are calibrated to the exact specifications of the original key, ensuring a perfect fit and function.
Key Programming: For advanced key types, such as transponder keys or high-security keys, we go beyond simple cutting and employ sophisticated key programming equipment. This allows us to create a fully functional duplicate that is recognized by the corresponding lock or ignition system.
