Key Duplication in Monroe County, MI

Key duplication is the process of making an accurate copy of an existing key. A good duplicate needs the right key blank and precise cuts so it turns smoothly without sticking or wearing down your lock. At CS Lock and Key, we cut duplicate keys for homes, businesses and vehicles using professional key cutting equipment. We are also capable of duplicating automotive key fobs, which pairs a cut blade with programming so the copy works just like your original. Whether you need one spare or a set for your whole household or staff, we can cut the copies you need.

Spare keys save time, money and stress. Having a duplicate means one lost key doesn't lock you out of your home, car or business. Families often need extra copies for new drivers, roommates or relatives who check on the house, and businesses need keys for new employees. A poorly cut copy can be just as frustrating as no key at all, since it may jam, snap or slowly damage the lock cylinder. Getting duplicates cut correctly from the start protects your locks and makes sure everyone who needs access has a key that works the first time.

To duplicate a key, all we need is the original key in good condition. If the original is badly worn, let us know, since we may recommend cutting a fresh key to the lock's code or rekeying instead. For vehicle keys, we'll ask for the year, make and model and proof of ownership, because many car keys need to be programmed as well as cut. Some restricted or high-security keys can only be copied with proper authorization, so have that information ready if it applies. Tell us how many copies you need and we'll take care of the rest.
