Key Duplication Services
The first thing that comes to mind when a person needs to make copies of a key is to visit the nearest hardware store, a large retail store or even a DIY kiosk. Although these are very convenient ways to duplicate keys, there are some major drawbacks. Here are a couple of pros and cons to consider:
Pros
Cheap prices.
On average, it costs approximately $2-$2.99 to duplicate a key at a hardware store - if you can find an available employee who knows how to operate the key duplication machine.
When you get your keys copied at Locks n Doors, you gain full access to a licensed locksmith who has the skill and expertise to cut and duplicate copies accurately. As the saying goes, “You get what you pay for.”
Cons
Not secure.
Even if you can flag down an employee to make copies of your keys, at a hardware store, there’s no guarantee security. Can you trust the employee? Will unauthorized copies be made? Experts say that many burglaries and robberies happen because the criminal had an extra copy of a victim’s key.
Our professional locksmiths will only make the amount of copies you request - no extra copies. You can rest assured your keys are safe in our possession.
Pros
Convenient locations.
Large home improvement retail stores and hardware stores tend to have multiple store chains. You can get your keys duplicated at convenient locations all throughout New York - not just locally.
Cons
Keys may not work.
Store employees that duplicate keys are not professional locksmiths. So, there’s no guarantee the copies they make will actually work. It’s extremely frustrating and time-consuming to pay someone to duplicate keys only to discover they do not work.
Avoid the High Cost of Losing Your Keys
Don’t wait until you have lost your keys to finally decide to make copies - get them made now. Losing your keys is not only a non-productive time-waster, it can be very expensive. If you lose your house keys, you’ll have to hire a professional to change the locks and make new copies.
If you lose your car keys, you’ll more than likely have to get your car towed to the dealership for a lock replacement. Having a spare set of keys for your home, office and/car is less stressful and less costly.
