Key Copy

A Smarter Way to Copy Keys

Key duplication is one of the most common locksmith needs, whether you're preparing for a backup, sharing access, or replacing a worn key. KeyMe Locksmiths combines automated technology with nationwide locksmith support to make the process more accessible and reliable.

Key copy services are commonly used for:

• Creating spare house or apartment keys
• Duplicating office or business keys
• Replacing worn or aging keys
• Preparing backup keys to avoid lockouts

Locksmith-Assisted Key Duplication

For keys that require additional expertise, KeyMe Locksmiths connects you with local locksmith professionals. This includes keys that may not be supported by kiosks or require specialized handling.

Locksmith-assisted services may be used for:

• High-security or restricted keys
• Commercial or master key systems
• Older or uncommon key types
• Keys that are worn or difficult to duplicate accurately

How Key Copy Works

At a KeyMe Kiosk

1. Insert your existing key into the kiosk
2. Follow the on-screen instructions
3. Your key is digitally scanned and mapped
4. A duplicate key is cut based on that data

With a Locksmith

1. Request key duplication service
2. Get connected with a local locksmith
3. Share details about your key type
4. The locksmith duplicates your key using professional tools

When to Copy a Key vs. Rekey a Lock

• Key Copy: Best when you need an additional key for an existing lock
• Rekeying: Best when you want to change which keys can access the lock

If security is a concern, rekeying may be recommended instead of duplication.
