Duplicate Car Keys
by John Canton 
In case you’ve experienced a situation in which you have lost, broke or mistaken your car keys, you definitely know how frustrating and costly this experience can be especially if you have only one set of keys. The truth is that misplacing and losing car keys is very frequent and that’s why car owners must have at least one additional set of keys. In addition, copying car keys can be very expensive and comes with a few more downsides especially from a technological perspective. We all know that there are many different styles and techniques of key cutting and programming which makes the duplication of transponders even more difficult. On top of that, there are many cases in which vehicle manufacturers use the Do Not Copy mark on their keys.
Selecting a reliable duplicate keys service
First and foremost, you must be sure what kind of key your car uses – a transponder key, metal key blade, keyfob, PAT/VAT key or maybe it has a keyless entry point. In the vast majority of situations, you will need to own a pre-existing key in order to make a duplicate key. In some cases, you might be able to create a duplicate with the help of the car’s VIN. There are vehicles that come with keys that can be duplicated with a DIY approach, by buying the key over the Internet and finish the programming with an on-board programming process. However, in most cases, you’ll need to select a good locksmith with suitable equipment and programmers or visit the dealer’s facility.
We start this process by making a blank specially made for the keys you want to copy. We are actually talking about the key you want to cut to make the blank, which is why we need the original key. In case you don’t have original keys, we can also use the lock to make duplicate keys that will be able to open and close it. The best part is that you can use this lock on any type of door – the ones found in the car, kitchen cabinet, wardrobe, main entrance etc.
We have a team of professionals that use two methods to offer the technology and refinement that your lock needs. In other words, we will rely on a machine or on a special manual process to make a duplicate key.
In case you want to use the manual method, our specialist locksmith will need to make copies of the original keys by manually cutting the blank. On the other hand, the machine method means using a blank chosen on the basis of specific key type that needs duplication and after that we place it in a special machine.
In order to speed up this process, we got conventional/standard blanks for popular key types, which definitely eases the work of our specialists. For example, we already have blank transponder keys used for creation of keys for ignition locks. If you are not familiar with the appearance of an ignition lock, this lock is the one used to start the car.
In addition, the so-called skeleton blank is another example of a popular blank for making duplicate keys. This is a classic key type. They are characterized by their extended, slender shaft which makes them appear like a skeleton. In case you have a modern type lock which is hard to copy, you can rest assured that our team of professionals will help you!
