Your Guide To Reliable Key Duplication

Generally, you don't think about duplicating your important keys. Perhaps, you continually push this important task to the bottom of the to-do list.

But, if a key is lost, stolen, or broken, that task suddenly shoots to the top of the list. It's not impossible to make a duplication when your original key is no longer available, but it does become more complicated.

A Locksmith vs. Key Duplication Kiosk

Now, you might say that you'll just run down to the key duplication kiosk you saw at the local Walmart to duplicate your important keys.

First, there is no guarantee that the machine you select is regularly calibrated or well-maintained to produce a quality key duplicate, wasting your time and money.

Second, according to a New York Times article written in March 2019,

"Because of the vague responses about cooperating with law enforcement and the password-reset vulnerability with the app, I do not recommend using the app or creating a user account for the service".

When you trust your key duplication with a locksmith like Prolocksmith , who is fully licensed, bonded, and insured, your information is protected and you will get a quality duplication each time.

Lost Keys

It's always better to make a copy from the original. However, if you lose the original, it can be a bit more complicated to make a duplicate. To make a copy from a copy of a copy requires decoding the key to create the right match.
