Keys We Duplicate

House and Apartment Keys

We cut standard door keys on site for houses, apartments and condos. Our technician makes as many copies as you need and tests each one in your lock before leaving.

Transponder Chip Keys

Our technician cuts the blade and programs the chip at your vehicle. We hand you a key that starts the engine, not one that only opens the doors.

Smart Keys and Proximity Fobs

We supply the replacement proximity fob and pair it to your vehicle where it sits. Keyless entry and push button start both work from the spare before we leave.

Office and Business Keys

We cut copies for staff, contractors and new hires. Our team works across multiple doors in one visit rather than one lock at a time.

High Security and Restricted Keys

We cut patented and restricted keyways where we can source the blank and you can show authorization. Tell us what is stamped on your key and we confirm before we come out.

Padlock, Mailbox and Cabinet Keys

We copy padlock, mailbox, filing cabinet, gate and storage unit keys. Our technician cuts them on site from any key that still works.

Why Some Keys Cost More to Copy Than Others

Plain mechanical keys

A house key, an office key, a padlock key. There is nothing electronic inside, so copying it means cutting a blank to match the pattern of your original. It is the quickest and least expensive kind of copy we make.

Keys with a chip inside

Most car keys made in the last twenty five years carry a transponder chip, and smart keys carry more than that. Cutting the blade is only half the job, because the copy also has to be paired to your vehicle before the engine will start. That programming step is the whole reason a car key copy costs more than a house key copy.

Why Venice Calls Us for Spare Keys

Spares Cost Less Than Replacements

We copy your key while the original still works, which costs a fraction of building a new one later from the lock or the vehicle.

We Come to You

No hardware store counter and no waiting for someone to find the right blank. We cut at your home, your office, or wherever your car is parked.

Every Copy Tested in the Lock

Our technician puts each new key into your lock or ignition before leaving. Anything that binds or sticks gets recut on the spot.

Programmed, Not Just Cut

We pair the chip to your vehicle so the spare starts the engine. A cut copy with no programming opens the door and stops there.

You Know Before We Arrive

We check your keyway when you call. If it is one we cannot source, you hear it on the phone rather than after paying for a visit.

Several Keys, One Visit

We cut a full household set, keys for a new hire, or spares across every unit in a rental on a single trip. That costs less than booking them separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many copies can I have made at once?

As many as you need. Doing them in a single visit costs less per key than booking separate trips, so most people cut a full set for the household or the office while we are already there.

Can you copy a key stamped Do Not Duplicate?

It depends on the key. That stamp on an ordinary key carries no legal weight on its own, but many keys that carry it are restricted or patented keyways, which need specific blanks and proof that you are authorized to hold copies. Tell us what is stamped on yours and we will tell you where it falls.

Will a copy work as smoothly as my original?

It should. A copy cut from a good original goes in and turns the same way. If your original is worn, the copy inherits that wear, which is why a key that has started sticking is worth mentioning when you call.

Can you copy a house key if the original is bent or worn?

Often yes, though a worn original makes a worn copy. Where the key is too far gone to copy cleanly, we can read the lock itself and cut a fresh key to the original factory pattern, which leaves you with a better key than the one you handed us.

Do you duplicate keys for rental properties?

Yes. Landlords and property managers use us for turnover sets and spares across several units. The person ordering needs to be the owner or an authorized manager, and we check that the same way we do on every job.

Can you copy a mailbox or padlock key?

Yes. Mailbox, padlock, filing cabinet, gate and storage unit keys all copy the same way a house key does, as long as you have one that still works.
