Why makes us different
Shop or mobile route
You can bring the key to us or arrange attendance where the key, vehicle or access issue needs work on site.
Household to car keys
We handle a wide mix of key types, which helps when one place needs to cover more than one need.
Checks before cutting
The original key condition is reviewed first, so poor copies are less likely to become a new problem.
Spare keys cut with the right information
A spare key only helps if it turns cleanly and works first time. We cut duplicate keys for homes, workplaces and vehicles, including auto key cutting and car key programming, using the key type and the condition of the original to judge the best route. For many jobs, bringing the original into the shop is the quickest option. When the key, vehicle or access issue needs attention at your location, we can plan mobile attendance instead. Cardiff Lock & Safe Company Ltd keeps both routes available so the job fits the situation.
From one spare to larger key orders
Some people want one back-up key and others need a larger batch for a household, office or site. We establish how many copies you need, what the key is for and, for vehicle work, any details that help identify the system before cutting begins. If the original key is worn, damaged or less common, we explain whether it is suitable to copy or whether the lock itself should be checked first to avoid repeating a poor pattern.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to bring the original key?
An original key usually gives the best starting point, especially if it is still in good condition. If the key is worn or damaged, we may need extra details or to look at the lock before cutting copies.
Can you cut more than one spare key at once?
Yes. We can cut a single back-up key or a larger batch where the original is suitable to copy. Let us know how many you need so we can advise the best route and what to bring.
What vehicle details help with car key work?
The make, model, year and whatever key or fob you already have are useful. Those details help us understand the system involved and whether programming or on-site work is likely to be needed.
