Our locksmiths ensure that each key is properly cut, aligned, and tested, so you never have to deal with a key that sticks, breaks, or fails to turn.
Why Duplicate Your Keys?

Our mobile locksmiths can dupicate automotive keys, fobs, remotes, chip keys, flip keys, and transponder head keys on-site in our fully-equipped locksmith vans.
A spare key prevents lockouts, lost access, and unnecessary locksmith emergencies. Colorado homeowners benefit from a backup house key in case they misplace the original, while businesses ensure authorized employees and maintenance teams have the necessary keys. Property managers can duplicate tenant keys to improve security and simplify renter turnover.
For vehicle owners, an extra car key, transponder key, or remote key fob prevents the inconvenience of being stranded if the original key is lost or locked inside the vehicle. A backup key saves time and money, avoiding costly dealership replacements.
What Types of Keys Can Be Duplicated?
We provide accurate key duplication for a variety of key types, including:
- Standard house keys for front, back, and interior doors
- Office keys for business entry doors, restricted areas, and security systems
- Car keys, including traditional metal keys, transponder keys, and remote key fobs
- Mailbox and storage unit keys for easy access to locked compartments
- Padlock keys for toolboxes, gates, and sheds
- High-security and restricted keys that require proper authorization for duplication
If you’re unsure whether your key can be copied, our locksmiths evaluate the key type and recommend the best solution for your key copy needs.
How the Key Duplication Process Works
Key duplication involves more than just cutting a key to match an existing one. Our locksmiths carefully inspect the original key to determine the correct key blank and ensure compatibility. We create an identical copy using professional key-cutting equipment, ensuring the new key turns smoothly in the lock.
If the original key is worn, bent, or damaged, we may need to adjust the cutting depth or create a new key from the lock itself. Unlike self-service kiosks, our locksmiths ensure accuracy and quality, preventing issues like misalignment or rough edges that could make the key difficult to use.
Car Key Duplication & Transponder Key Programming
Car key duplication involves more than just cutting a key to fit the lock. Many modern vehicles use transponder chips that must be programmed to work with the vehicle’s security system. Our locksmiths provide expert duplication for traditional car keys, transponder keys, and remote key fobs. Whether you drive an older model with a standard metal key or a newer car with push-to-start ignition, we ensure your duplicate key functions just like the original.
Unlike dealerships, which often require long wait times and expensive replacements, we offer same-day car key duplication and programming at an affordable price. If your key has a transponder chip, we program it to sync with your vehicle, preventing issues with security or ignition failure. Our goal is to provide fast, hassle-free car key duplication that gets you back on the road quickly.
Key Duplication vs. Self-Service Kiosks
Self-service kiosks at hardware stores may seem like a convenient option for key duplication, but they often produce low-quality copies that don’t work properly. These machines rely on a basic tracing system that can result in misalignment, rough edges, or incorrect key depth, leading to a key that sticks or won’t turn in the lock.
Professional locksmith key cutting ensures precise duplication, proper key blank selection, and added services such as creating a new key from the lock itself if the original is too worn or broken. Unlike kiosks, we also provide high-security and restricted key duplication, which requires proper authorization. A locksmith is the best choice for key duplication if accuracy, durability, and security are priorities.
How Much Does Key Duplication Cost?
Key duplication costs vary based on key type, programming requirements, and the number of copies needed. Standard house and office keys are more affordable than transponder or restricted keys, which require additional programming. Car key duplication costs depend on whether the key has a security chip or needs remote programming.
