As a professional locksmith, I have been trained in a variety of areas, including the art of making spare keys without having access to the original one. With my unique experience and powerful set of tools, I am able to design a new key for your home that works perfectly. There are several methods that I can use to cut a new key for your house without needing the original copy. When it comes to copying a keychain, the cost can vary significantly depending on the type of keychain and where you get a duplicate. For example, duplicating high-security lock keys, decorative keys, or keys made with special materials can cost more.
However, as a professional locksmith, I have the necessary equipment and expertise to create an accurate copy of any type of keychain. One common scenario is when someone loses the keys to their house and does not have the original key. In this case, I am still able to make a new key without needing the original one. This is because modern locksmiths have access to advanced technology and information that allows us to create new keys for houses and cars without having the original copy. For modern car keys, however, it is not as simple as just cutting a new key. These keys require an accurate copy and must be programmed by a skilled professional, such as myself or an auto dealership professional.
We have access to specific information and tools that allow us to create a new key for your car without needing the original one. The process of making a new key without the original one involves using a blank piece that matches the make and model of your car or house lock. Then, both the original key and the blank piece are inserted into a key duplicating machine to make an exact copy of the key. Once the raw part is received, it can be taken to a locksmith or car dealer to cut the keys and, if necessary, program it. If you have lost the only copy of a key and are left without access to your house or car, do not panic. As a professional locksmith, I am able to help you recover access by offering a new cut on the spot and repairing any ignition switch that may have been damaged due to the lost key.
This is often a more affordable option than going to a car dealership. However, if you simply need a basic key for your house or car, it may be more cost-effective to go to a hardware store instead of a locksmith. Both will provide you with the same results, but the home improvement store may be cheaper. Keep in mind that as a locksmith, I will have to insert and remove the key from the lock several times to determine the exact cuts needed, which may result in a slightly higher cost.
