Key cutting and duplication service in Houston by a professional locksmith

Looking for Key Cutting, Duplication & Replacement?

When you search for a key maker in Houston, you need speed, accuracy, and a key that actually turns smoothly. We cut keys precisely, duplicate existing keys quickly, and create replacements when a key is missing or broken.

We handle keys for homes, offices, storefronts, and many vehicles. If your situation involves changing access because keys were lost or you do not trust who has copies, that is not a duplication problem. That is a security problem. Start here: lock changes and rekeying.

Key Cutting Service in Houston

Key cutting is not about making something that looks close. It is about cutting the correct bitting so the key seats fully, turns cleanly, and does not wear your lock down over time. A poorly cut key can stick, fail under load, or damage the cylinder.

We cut common residential and commercial keys, many specialty profiles, and a wide range of automotive keys depending on the vehicle. If you are unsure what you have, bring the key or share a photo and we will tell you what is possible.

For general background on mechanical key standards and pin tumbler lock design, you can reference the Builders Hardware guide to how locks work.

Key Duplication Service in Houston

Duplication is the right choice when you have at least one working key and you need spares for family, staff, tenants, or trusted backups. We duplicate keys with a focus on clean edges and consistent cuts so the copy performs like the original.

Best times to duplicate keys

Before a tenant move-in or staff onboarding
Before you start short-term rentals or property turnover
Before an emergency makes the situation more expensive
When a key is worn but still works, so you can duplicate from a better sample

Businesses needing consistent key control should also review: master key systems and InstaKey security systems.

Key Replacement in Houston When You Have No Copy

Replacement is different from duplication. If you have no working copy, we may need to decode the lock, originate a key, or replace and rekey hardware depending on the situation. For vehicles, replacement may involve transponder programming or key fob pairing.

What to have ready for faster replacement

Photo ID
Proof of ownership for vehicles or property
Vehicle make, model, year, and VIN when applicable
Any remaining keys or broken key pieces

If your key was stolen or you suspect someone still has access, replacement alone may not be enough. That is when rekeying or a lock change is the correct security move: lock change and rekey service.
