What Is Key Duplication?
Extra keys are useful when more than one person needs access to a home or when a spare should be kept available. The duplicate needs to match the original key profile closely enough to operate the lock reliably.
Key duplication can be straightforward for common residential keys, while some keys may have restrictions or require specific equipment. The type of key determines what can be duplicated and how.
Serve Kei helps customers request key duplication from a local locksmith and specify the type or quantity of keys needed.
What's Included in Key Duplication
Included work depends on keyway type and whether restricted blanks are required. Common work includes:
- Cutting standard residential key duplicates
- Duplicating many restricted keys when authorization allows
- Testing new keys in the lock when on-site
- Identifying worn originals that should be replaced rather than copied
- Labeling spares for household organization
- Advice when a lock should be rekeyed instead of copying old keys
- Mobile or shop cutting depending on the booking
Serve Kei connects key copy requests with local locksmiths. Restricted blanks or on-site lock testing can be noted in the quote.
Common Issues
- Only one working house key left
- Need caregiver or neighbor spare
- New keys after a rekey visit
- Family members each need a copy

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers before you request an quote for key duplication.
Can every key be copied?
Standard residential keys usually can. Restricted keyways may need proof of authorization.
Should I bring the lock or just the key?
Bring the working original key. On-site testing in the lock is ideal when available.
What if my key is bent or worn?
Worn originals make poor copies. Replacement or rekey may be the better path.
Can you duplicate keys after hours?
Scheduling depends on partner availability. Check options when you Get a Quote.
Do duplicates work as well as the original?
Properly cut copies should. Partners test when the lock is accessible.
