Ensure you have the spare keys for dependable access any time you need it.

Key cutting is the art of turning blanks into specifically designed keys. It is an art more than a process because the keys need to fit the lock precisely.

The shape and size of the key must match the lock exactly. Otherwise, the key can damage the lock, and you must replace it. Just as locks have changed over time, so have the styles needed to lock and unlock them.

The best time to have a key cut is before you need it. Key cutting is one of the most popular services a locksmith provides. Still, people fail to have keys to their home, office, or car duplicated as often as they should.

Types of Keys Cut

• Single sided
• Double sided
• Gem/ Tubular
• keys cut to code

Reasons You Might Need a Key Cutter

 Keeping spare keys to all your locks is a preventive measure. It protects you in case something goes wrong with the key or lock. Failing to have spares made in advance means you must get a duplicate quickly when you get locked out.

If you are in this situation and have no spare keys to back you up, you want a dependable local locksmith like Lock and Shield Locksmiths to respond to your call. We can make a replacement key when situations like the following occur:

• Keys breaking off in the lock
• Lost or stolen keys
• Automobile lockouts
• Access for trusted neighbours or friends when you are away
• Access for employees when your security alarm goes off for no reason

When you don’t have access to your assets, you need fast and reliable locksmith services. For example, imagine you get locked out of your home or vehicle with one of your children locked inside. Or you get locked out of your office right before a meeting with an important client.

Don’t wait to get the spare keys you need to give you dependable access any time you need it.
