Key Cutting in Dulwich & South London — While You Wait
A spare key is the cheapest insurance in home security. One copy with a trusted neighbour turns a lockout into a minor inconvenience; no spare turns it into an emergency callout. We cut keys while you wait from our SE22 base and on mobile visits across South London.
Precision matters more than people expect. A poorly cut key wears your lock's pins unevenly and can snap at the worst moment. We cut on calibrated machines, use genuine or equivalent-quality blanks matched to your specific lock, and test each key in the actual cylinder before it leaves our hands.

Key Cutting — FAQs
How much does it cost to cut a key in Dulwich?
Standard cylinder and mortice keys start from £8. High-security and patented keys cost more depending on the blank — we always quote before cutting.
Can you copy a key that says 'do not duplicate'?
Keys marked 'do not duplicate' or on patented profiles can only be cut with the owner's authorisation card or written permission, per the manufacturer's terms. Bring the card and ID and we'll cut it; without authorisation we can't — and neither should anyone else.
My key is worn — can you still copy it?
Usually yes, but a copy of a worn key inherits the wear. Where possible we decode the lock or work from the key code to cut a fresh key to factory specification, which will outlast a straight copy.
