Key Cutting

Fast, Accurate, and Convenient Key Duplication

Keys should work quietly in the background of daily life—until one goes missing, bends, or won’t turn. That’s where we come in. Our technicians use calibrated key cutting and code machines to produce clean, debris-free edges and precise shoulder alignment for a perfect fit. Whether you need a quick spare before a trip, duplicates for new staff, or a replacement for a heavily worn key, we’ll match the original profile and test it with you before we leave.

We cut keys for homes, apartments, commercial buildings, cabinets, padlocks, vehicles (including many transponder and high-security types), and more. If you’re not sure what kind of key you have, bring it to us—or we’ll come to you. Our mobile service vans carry the blanks, gauges, and decoding tools to finish the job on-site anywhere in Murfreesboro.

What We Cut & Replace

• Residential Keys: Standard house keys, high-security cylinders, mailbox keys, garage and gate keys.
• Commercial Keys: Restricted keyways (where authorized), storeroom/office keys, file cabinet and cam locks, utility cores.
• Automotive Keys: Traditional metal, transponder (chipped), laser/sidewinder, and many fob-integrated blades.
• Specialty Keys: Padlocks, toolboxes, RVs, ATVs, motorcycles, desk locks, lockers, and display cases.
• Antique & Hard-to-Find: Skeleton and vintage profiles—ask about sourcing and custom fitting.

Not every blank is equal. We stock reputable brands and durable alloys to reduce tip wear, resist bending, and keep your cylinders happier longer.

Precision Tools & Modern Techniques

Great keys start with great measurements. We rely on calibrated duplicators, electronic code cutters, and factory spec databases to reproduce original bitting patterns accurately. For worn or “mystery” keys that copy poorly, we can decode the lock itself (when authorized) and cut to code—restoring the key to like-new geometry rather than copying existing wear. The result is smoother insertion, quieter operation, and less cylinder strain.

• Digital depth-and-space calibration for repeatable accuracy.
• Laser/sidewinder cutters for high-security automotive blades.
• Key gauges and decoders to read bitting and verify alignment.
• Chip programming tools for many transponder vehicles.

Mobile Key Cutting in in Murfreesboro, TN

No time to visit a shop? Our mobile service brings the equipment to your driveway, job site, campus, or storefront. It’s ideal for fleet managers, property managers, and families who need multiple duplicates made at once. We arrive with stocked blanks, verify your authorization, and cut keys on-site—often in a single visit—so you can get back to your day quickly.

Keys for Every Need

• Home & Apartment: Spares for family members, sitters, and short-term rental turnover; mailbox and gate duplicates.
• Business: New hire onboarding sets, manager/master level keys (when authorized), cabinet and cash office keys.
• Automotive: Spare ignition and door keys, trunk keys, chip programming for many models, and emergency replacements.

We’ll advise when a rekey or lock upgrade makes more sense than cutting more copies—especially if you’ve lost track of who holds existing keys.

What Makes a “Good” Copy?

If you’ve ever had a key that needed jiggling or only worked on the second try, you know not all duplicates are equal. A quality duplicate maintains proper shoulder stop, accurate bitting depths, clean grooves, and a burr-free finish. These details reduce cylinder wear, prevent stuck pins, and prolong the life of both your key and your lock. We cut to specification—then we test—so you don’t discover problems at 11 PM on your front porch.

Restricted & High-Security Keys

Some systems use restricted or patented keyways for advanced key control. Copies require documented authorization and approved blanks. If you manage rentals, offices, or facilities where key control is critical, ask about restricted options that deter unauthorized duplication and create a clear audit trail. We’ll explain requirements, handle verification, and keep the process simple.

Automotive Chip Keys & Programming

Many vehicles use transponder chips or proximity fobs that must be programmed to the car to start the engine. We can cut and program many of these on-site. For some late-model vehicles, we’ll confirm compatibility or discuss dealer-only programming requirements. Either way, we aim to save you a tow and a long wait, and we’ll quote clearly before we begin.

Key Care Tips for Longer Life

• Don’t use a key as a tool (box opener, pry bar, package twister)—it weakens the blade and bends tips.
• If a lock feels tight, address alignment or lubrication rather than forcing the key.
• Retire worn masters; copying a worn key just reproduces the problem. Ask us to cut “to code.”
• Label spares discreetly; never include addresses or unit numbers on tags.
• Store a backup in a secure place or a lockbox you control to prevent lockouts.

Clear Pricing, Quick Turnaround

Before we cut, we confirm the blank type, any chip programming, and the total cost. Most standard keys are cut in minutes; high-security or chip keys may take longer due to decoding or programming steps. Need multiple copies? We can batch cut and test efficiently, and we’ll label sets so you know which key goes where.
