Key Duplication & Cutting | 155 Larchmont Ave, Larchmont NY

Introduction to Key Duplication & Cutting

Our Key Duplication & Cutting Process

Our systematic approach to key cutting ensures accuracy and reliability with every service. When you bring your key to our location at 155 Larchmont Ave or request our mobile service, here's what you can expect:

Step 1: Key Assessment - Our technicians carefully examine your original key to identify the type, brand, and cutting pattern. This assessment helps us determine the appropriate blank and cutting method for perfect duplication.

Step 2: Blank Selection - We maintain an extensive inventory of key blanks for residential, commercial, and automotive applications. We select the correct blank that matches your key's specifications exactly.

Step 3: Precision Cutting - Using advanced key cutting machines, we replicate the exact pattern of your original key. Our equipment is regularly calibrated to ensure cuts are precise to within thousandths of an inch.

Step 4: Quality Testing - Before handing you your new key, we test it to ensure smooth operation. If you have the lock available, we'll test the key directly. Otherwise, we verify the cutting pattern against the original.

Step 5: Finishing Touches - We deburr and polish each key to remove any rough edges, ensuring comfortable handling and smooth insertion into your locks.

Common Situations Requiring Key Duplication & Cutting

Understanding when you need professional key cutting services helps you plan ahead and avoid lockout emergencies:

New Home or Business - When you move into a new property, it's essential to copy key sets for all family members or employees. Many people also choose to rekey locks and cut key sets for the new system.

Lost or Missing Keys - If you've lost a key but still have a spare, bringing it to us for key duplication prevents future lockout situations. Don't wait until you lose your last key to get duplicates made.

Worn or Damaged Keys - Keys wear down over time, making them difficult to use. When you notice a key sticking or requiring extra jiggling, it's time to duplicate key from the original before it breaks in the lock.

Providing Access to Others - Whether you need to give keys to house sitters, pet caregivers, contractors, or new employees, professional key cutting ensures everyone has reliable access.

Creating Backup Keys - Smart homeowners and business owners keep spare keys in secure locations. Having extra duplicated keys prevents the stress and expense of emergency lockout services.

Broken Keys - If a key breaks, we can often cut key replacements from the pieces, or we can extract the broken portion from the lock and create new keys from the lock itself.

Understanding Key Restrictions and Security

Not all keys can be freely duplicated, and understanding these restrictions protects your security. High-security keys are designed with patented keyways that require authorization to duplicate key copies. If you have restricted keys, you'll need to provide proper identification and proof of ownership before we can copy key sets.

Certain keys are stamped with "Do Not Duplicate" or "DND" markings. While these markings don't have legal force, reputable locksmiths like Larchmont Locksmith Westchester respect these designations and require authorization. This policy protects property owners and ensures that unauthorized key copies don't compromise security.

When you need to cut key duplicates for high-security systems, bring your security card or authorization documentation. This verification process may take slightly longer, but it ensures that your property remains secure and that only authorized individuals can obtain key copies.
