What Types Of Keys Do We Duplicate?

The live service overview highlights our core key types: standard house keys, mailbox keys, padlock keys, and, depending on the key type, some Medeco keys.

Within that, here is how it looks in practice.

House and Apartment Keys

We duplicate most standard house and apartment keys, including common residential keyways used in New York buildings. If your building uses an unusual or highly restricted system, we’ll examine the key and let you know whether duplication is possible or if you need to speak with your building management or locksmith.

Office and Desk Keys

Many office doors and desks use standard-style keys that we can duplicate with our existing blanks. Bring in the original, and we’ll check whether it matches our key systems. If it does, we can usually cut a spare while you wait.

Mailbox And Cabinet Keys

We get frequent requests for mailbox keys and small cabinet keys. As long as the originals are in reasonable condition and match available blanks, we can create a copy for you. If the key’s badly worn or bent, we’ll explain what is realistic before proceeding.

Padlock Keys

We cut many padlock keys used for storage units, lockers, sheds, or travel locks. For travel, you can also explore our travel locks and travel accessories, including new TSA-style padlocks and tags.

Specialty Or Medeco Keys

We can duplicate some Medeco keys, with availability depending on the key type. Certain high-security or restricted keys can’t be copied without specific permission or may not be duplicated at all. If you’re unsure, bring your key in, and we’ll evaluate it on-site and give you an honest assessment.

Our Key Duplication Process In NYC

Our process is straightforward, whether you bring in one key or a full set.

Key Inspection

We start by looking at the key you would like copied. That includes checking the brand or keyway, the blade's condition, and whether a suitable blank is available. If a key is too worn or damaged to copy accurately, we will explain this before cutting.

Cutting

Once we’ve confirmed compatibility, we cut the new key on our key machine. The aim is not just to copy the pattern but to give you a key that turns smoothly and reliably in the matching lock.

Finish And Fit Testing

We clean up any rough edges and ensure the key looks correct against the original. Where possible, we recommend testing the new key in your lock soon after you leave the store, especially for critical doors such as your main apartment entry.

Ready In Minutes

We cut most standard keys in just a few minutes.

A wide mix of New Yorkers uses our key duplication service:
