A Guide To Key Cutting

Whist LockShop Direct is known for providing quality locks and security measures for homes up and down the UK, we also provide a key cutting service. 

Our key cutting service is perfect for homeowners, tenants, business owners and landlords alike. 

Whether you need a spare key or an emergency one to give to a neighbour, our key cutting service is reliable and affordable. 

Keep reading for more information on LockShop Direct’s key cutting service. 

What is key cutting?

Key cutting is the process of replicating the shape of a key. 

The service can be used by domestic and commercial clients, who need a new key for their home, shed or office. 

Perhaps you need a spare key for your home office? Maybe you’d like to give a key to your new assistant? Or to your teenager so they can let themselves in after school? Whatever the reason, a quality key cutting service is the solution.

How does key cutting work?

Since we began LockShop Direct, we have always favoured a modern approach to security measures, which includes our online key cutting service. 

While you can visit one of our key cutting showrooms for a replica, you can now send a key to us and we’ll get one cut for you to your exact requirements as quickly as possible. 

From ABS to Yale, we make sure we have a sufficient stock of the leading brands, guaranteeing quality each and every time.

When we receive your key, one of our professional locksmiths (approved by the Master Locksmith Association) will use precise and modern technology, to lasercut your duplicate key. 

Am I limited in the types of keys I can get copied?

No!

The great thing about key cutting at LockShop Direct is that we can cut and deliver almost all types of keys including: 

  • cylinder keys 
  • filing cabinet keys 
  • locker keys 
  • mortice keys 
  • desk keys 
  • high-security keys 
  • pre-cut mortice keys 
  • pre-cut window keys 

We can also cut blank keys to code, but please note that you will need to inform us of the manufacturer’s name and code (this can be found on the head of the key or card).

When would I need a key cutting service?

Key cutting is a handy service, which allows you to have multiple keys available for friends and family - for times when they need to gain entrance to your home. 

We also deal with many commercial clients. If a boss is on holiday, or someone has recently been promoted and needs a copy of the front door key, LockShop Direct can help you out. 

With thousands of keys to choose from, you’re guaranteed a quick and easy key duplication service. 

How long does key cutting take?

Not as long as you think. 

At LockShop Direct, if you make a key cutting order before 5 pm, we’ll process it for you on the same day. 

Don’t worry if you miss the cut-off point, any orders made after this time will be processed the following working day. 

Once we’ve cut your key, we’ll send it out to your chosen location, keeping you updated along the way.
