If you lose your keys, it could be a major problem. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that will help you get your life back on path.
We provide both regular and high-security key duplicate. For regular keys we use the key cutting machine which can duplicate mortise keys or cylinder keys. The key is held in a vise, and then cut using a blade. The new key is then deburred, by rubbing it down with wirebrushes built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder – to remove burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
You need a machine designed to cut high-security keys. This machine is more expensive but also very accurate. Bring the original key with you when you get these keys cut. Differences in shape could render the key useless.
We utilize Framon two manual-driven machines, which are known to be the most reliable and stable in the industry, some customers have even shared stories of them falling off their work bench to the floor and still remaining perfectly safe. We also have Silca Matrix high-security duplicators and Silca Swift.
