Key Duplication

Copies that work the first time — precision cutting, tested on the spot.

Elite Locksmith and Security

Key Duplication in Manhattan

A bad key copy is worse than no copy: it jams, it breaks off, it leaves you stranded. Elite Locksmith and Security cuts keys on calibrated professional machines — not worn-out hardware-store kiosks — and every copy is tested before it leaves our hands.

We duplicate standard house and office keys, mailbox keys, padlock keys, and cabinet keys, and we cut restricted high-security keys with proper authorization on file. Bring the original; if it's worn, we can often decode and cut a fresh key to factory depths that works better than the original.

Need many copies — for a new office, a building turnover, a large family? We handle volume cutting with the same precision, keyed alike or master-keyed as your system requires.

What's included

  • House, apartment, and office keys cut while you wait
  • Mailbox, padlock, and cabinet keys
  • Restricted high-security keys — with authorization
  • Worn-key decoding: a fresh key cut to factory depths
  • Volume cutting for offices, buildings, and turnovers
  • Every copy tested before you take it

Common questions

Key Duplication — FAQs

My key says 'Do Not Duplicate.' Can you copy it?
It depends on the key. Stamped 'do not duplicate' standard keys can legally be cut in most cases; true restricted-keyway keys require authorization on file with the issuing locksmith. Bring it in and we'll tell you exactly where you stand.
The hardware store copy doesn't work well. Can you fix it?
Yes — a copy-of-a-copy drifts from factory depths. We can decode your lock or best original and cut a fresh key to spec that works better than what you've been using.
How many copies should I have?
At least one spare stored outside your home — with a trusted neighbor, at the office, or with family. For businesses, keep a logged master set with management. Spares are cheap; lockouts aren't.
Do you cut car keys too?
Yes — see our car key service. Automotive keys need cutting plus programming, which we do on-site at your vehicle.
