What Is Key Duplication?

Key duplication is the process of creating a copy of an existing key using a specialized cutting machine and a blank key. It’s a common locksmith service, yet it requires precise alignment, calibration, and knowledge of key grades, keyway compatibility, and security features.

For basic keys, duplication may take only a few minutes. For high-security or restricted keys, specific authorization or manufacturer instructions may be required.

The Associated Locksmiths of America (ALOA) outlines ethical practices and technical requirements for key duplication, which our team strictly follows.

Rekeying vs. Key Duplication

In some cases, rekeying the lock may be more appropriate than duplicating a worn, outdated, or compromised key. We help customers determine:

  • Whether rekeying offers more security

  • If the current key’s wear will affect duplication

  • If a master key system is a better alternative

For more information about how rekeying works and when it’s advised, visit our Commercial Locksmith Services page.

When to Consider Key Duplication

  • Replacing a bent or nearly broken key

  • Preparing for travel with a backup key

  • Sharing keys with pet sitters, cleaners, or contractors

Many customers also choose to duplicate keys when upgrading to a new smart lock system, retaining a physical backup alongside digital entry.
