Two kinds of key duplication
Key duplication broadly splits into two jobs. Copying traces an existing key onto a blank. Cutting to code makes a key from the lock or a key code when no working key exists, which is how we replace lost keys. A worn original copies its wear, so cutting to code often gives a smoother key.

About "Do Not Duplicate" keys
A "Do Not Duplicate" stamp is a request, not a lock. Real copy control comes from high-security or restricted keyway systems, where blanks are only supplied to authorised cardholders. If you manage a building, ask us about a master key system.
Key cutting FAQs
Why doesn't my copied key work smoothly?
Copying a worn key copies the wear. Cutting from the original code usually gives a cleaner key.
Can you cut a key without the original?
For most locks, yes, by decoding the lock or using a key code. We'll need proof you own or manage the property.
Do you copy car keys?
Yes, including many laser-cut and transponder keys. Chipped keys also need programming to the vehicle.
