What we cut
​House keys through restricted systems, cut on the right blank and checked before it leaves the counter.
Everyday copies
House keys, padlock keys, shed and gate keys, mailbox keys, file cabinet keys and safe deposit keys. Walk in, wait a few minutes, walk out.
High security and restricted
Laser cut and high security blanks, plus restricted and Primus systems where copies are controlled on purpose. Restricted keys exist so that a tenant or a former employee cannot quietly run off a copy, so we follow the authorization the system requires.
Key by code
If the key is lost but the lock has a code we can often cut a new one from the code instead of taking the lock apart.
Stamping and engraving
Key and tag stamping for landlords, property managers and anyone running more than a handful of doors. Labeled keys are the difference between a tidy system and a drawer full of mysteries.
Keys that have worn out
A copy made from a copy made from a copy drifts a little each time until it stops turning. If your working key is itself an old copy, bring the original, or let us cut from the code where the lock supports it, and the new key starts from a clean pattern. It is the difference between a key that works and one that works most of the time.
Car keys are different
A chipped car key is not a key duplication job in the usual sense, because the chip has to be matched to the car, not just the blade cut. We do that too, at the same shop. If you are not sure whether your car key is a plain blade or a chip key, call or text 913-390-8200 and we can usually tell you before you drive over.
How a key copy goes
What happens from the counter to a key you can trust.
First, bring the key or the lock
Bring the key you want copied, or bring the lock itself if you are not sure the key is right. We would rather look at the thing than a description of it.
Then, we match the blank and cut it
We pick the correct blank, including high security and restricted where you are authorized, and cut it on a properly set up machine rather than a worn supermarket kiosk.
Next, we clean up the cut
We deburr the new key and check the bitting against the original, because a copy made from a worn copy drifts a little each time until it stops turning.
Finally, we test it before you leave
We check the copy turns before you walk out, so you find out at the counter and not at your front door.
