Key Duplication: What You Need to Know
Key duplication is a handy service that lets you make copies of your keys. It’s simple, quick, and can really boost your security and convenience.
How Key Duplication Works
Key duplication mainly involves using key cutting machines. Here’s how it goes down:
- Preparation: The original key and a blank key are placed in a vise.
- Cutting: The machine uses the original key as a guide to cut the blank key.
- Deburring: Any sharp edges are smoothed out to prevent damage to locks.
- Finishing: The new key is sanded for a smooth finish.
Locksmiths use a key duplicator tool to make a copy of your key. The original key acts as a template, and the new key is cut and sanded to match perfectly.
