Mobile Key Cutting
Spare keys for the family, a replacement for the one you lost, or a fresh set for a new tenant — our mobile key machine comes to you, so there is no trip to the hardware store.
Key types we cut every day
A calibrated key machine travels in the van, so your copy is cut and tested in front of you.
Standard house and office keys, dimple and laser-cut blanks, and transponder car keys.
You know the price per key before we cut. No hidden fees on the invoice.
Every key is tried in the actual lock — a copy that almost works is no copy at all.
How It Works
No hardware-store queue and no keys that jam halfway into the lock.
Send a photo or just describe it. We bring the right blanks with us.
The machine is in the van — home, office or roadside, it makes no difference.
We try every copy in the lock itself before you pay and before we leave.

Have a Question?
Often yes. For most house and office locks we can decode or pick the lock and originate a working key from scratch.
Yes. We cut the blade and program the transponder or fob to your vehicle on site.
Only with proof that you are authorised — usually the property owner or a listed keyholder. Restricted keys need the system owner's permission.
A standard house or office key takes a couple of minutes. Transponder car keys take longer because of the programming.
We test every key in your lock before leaving, and recut it there and then if it is not perfect.
It depends on the blank and whether a chip is involved. We quote before cutting — no surprises.
