High-Security Auto & Domestic Key Duplication
Traditional domestic keys use standard pin-tumbler alignments, but modern automotive keys and high-security domestic locks utilize 'laser-cut' internal tracks. These high-security sidewinder cuts require computer-calibrated milling machines capable of cutting deep, smooth grooves.
Our mobile workshop vans carry a full inventory of blanks for major lock brands including Yale, Chubb, Union, Mul-T-Lock, and ERA, as well as vehicle blanks for Ford, VW, Vauxhall, BMW, and Audi, completing all duplication right outside your door.
Recreating Keys from Code Databases
If you have lost your key but possess the manufacturer's key code card, we can input the data directly into our laser cutters to duplicate the original profile without needing a physical key to copy.
Common Questions
Key Cutting & Duplication — Frequently Asked Questions
For car keys, we can cut a new blade to code by decoding your vehicle's lock barrel directly, so the original key is not required. For house keys, we can often decode the lock cylinder and cut a new key from scratch. If no decoding is possible, we can replace the lock cylinder and supply new keys in a single visit — it depends on the lock type.
