These ranges reflect typical jobs we run in the Venice area and are meant to help you budget, not to serve as a quote. A few things move the number: the type of lock or the make of your vehicle, whether a key already exists, how far the drive is, and what condition the hardware is in once we see it. High-security cylinders and older ignitions usually sit at the upper end. Prices were current as of August 2026 and may change over time.
What Changes the Price
Whether a key still exists. This is the big one for cars. Copying a key you already have is quick. Making a key when every copy is gone means pulling security data from the car's computer and programming it to the immobilizer, which is why the range moves from $95 up to $225.
The make and year of the vehicle. A 2008 sedan with a basic transponder is a different job from a 2023 push to start SUV. Newer security systems take more time and more equipment.
The type of lock. A standard pin tumbler deadbolt opens quickly. A high security cylinder with anti pick pins takes longer and sometimes cannot be picked at all.
The condition of the hardware. Salt air is hard on locks here. A cylinder that has been corroding for five years may need replacing rather than repairing, which turns a $95 job into a $195 one. We tell you which one it is before we start.
How to Spend Less With Us
Get a spare before you need one. A duplicate car key costs $95 to $125. Replacing a key when every copy is gone costs $145 to $225. The spare is always cheaper than the emergency, and right now our second car key is half price when you order two together.
Rekey instead of replacing. If you just bought a home or lost a key, rekeying changes the pins inside so old keys stop working. At $25 to $65 per lock it costs far less than new hardware, and your existing locks stay on the doors. We can also match every exterior door to a single key in the same visit.
Skip the dealership for car keys. A dealer key usually means a tow, an appointment several days out, and a bill in the hundreds. We cut and program the key where the car is parked.
Ask about discounts when you book. We give 20% off for active duty military and veterans, and 10% off for students, healthcare workers, first responders, seniors and retirees.
Call before it gets worse. A lock that sticks costs less to fix than a lock that fails with a key snapped inside it.
