Car Key Duplication in Sacramento
You still have a working key and want a spare. Call (916) 244-3934.
Licensed, insured and bonded. California Bureau of Security and Investigative Services License No. LCO 6830. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. Proof of ownership is required before any lock is opened.
A spare made while you still have a working key is the cheapest locksmith job there is. The same key made after the last one is lost is the most expensive.
What the job involves
- Duplicating bladed, laser-cut and flip keys
- Cloning or programming the transponder so the copy actually starts the vehicle
- Pairing remote functions on the duplicate
- Checking the original for wear before copying it
What to have ready when you call
- The working key
- Year, make and model
- Identification and proof the vehicle is yours
Honest limits
A worn key copies its own wear into the duplicate. If the original is rounded off, cutting to code from the vehicle gives a better key than copying the one in your hand.

Common questions
Why does a car key cost more than a house key?
Because most vehicle keys contain a transponder that has to be programmed to the immobilizer. Cutting the metal is the small part.
Can you copy a key that already sticks?
It is better to cut a fresh key to the vehicle's code than to copy a worn one, otherwise the wear is copied too.
Do you copy proximity fobs?
Yes, where the vehicle supports adding an additional fob.
