Precision matters

A well-cut duplicate turns smoothly and does not wear your lock, while a poor copy can stick and eventually damage the cylinder. Professional key machines and proper deburring produce keys that work the first time. For worn keys, cutting from a code or the lock itself yields a cleaner copy than copying an already-worn key.

Restricted and 'Do Not Duplicate' keys

Keys stamped 'Do Not Duplicate' or belonging to a restricted system usually cannot be copied at a hardware store and may require proof of authorization. A locksmith can advise on the correct, authorized way to obtain additional keys for these systems. This protects your key control while still getting you the copies you need.
