High precision cutting for modern high security keyways, from your existing key or originated for the vehicle.

Chapter 01

High security keys need a machine, not a grinder

A laser cut key is not cut with a laser. The name describes the result: a track milled into the flat of the blade rather than teeth ground into its edge, to a tolerance a hardware store duplicator cannot hold.

That track is what a modern high security keyway reads. Cut it loosely and the key either will not enter or will wear the lock every time it turns.

A copy of what you have, or a key you have never had

If you have a working key, we duplicate from it, which is the cleanest and quickest version of this job. If you do not, the key is originated for the vehicle instead.

Either way the cut is only half of it on most modern cars. If the key carries a chip, it still has to be programmed before the car will start.

We stand behind the cut

In the business's own words: we guarantee your satisfaction with our services, and we stand behind our work. A key that binds, sticks or has to be jiggled is not a finished job.
