What types of car keys can be duplicated?
Automotive key duplication is available for many standard metal keys, transponder (chip) keys, and select remote or proximity keys. Vehicle make, model, and year determine compatibility.
Do transponder or chip keys require programming?
Yes. Transponder and chip keys must be programmed to communicate with the vehicle’s immobilizer system. Proper programming is required for the key to start the vehicle.
Can you duplicate a key if I only have one left?
In many cases, yes. Duplicating a key while you still have a working original is often faster and more cost-effective than waiting until all keys are lost.
How long does automotive key duplication take?
Time varies depending on the key type and vehicle. Basic keys can often be duplicated quickly, while transponder or electronic keys may take longer due to programming requirements.
Will a duplicated key work the same as the original?
When properly cut and programmed, a duplicated key should function the same as the original for unlocking and starting the vehicle, depending on the key type.
Do you duplicate keys for all vehicle makes and models?
Many vehicle makes and models are supported, but not all keys are duplicable. Availability depends on vehicle security systems and key technology.
Is it better to make a spare key before losing the original?
Yes. Creating a spare key in advance can help avoid lockouts and reduce the cost and inconvenience of emergency key replacement.
