How Does A Locksmith Make My Keys?

Our mobile trucks can cut keys for you at your business, home, or car.

If you’re looking for a place to get your keys cut in Richmond, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we will outline all that you need to know regarding the process of key cutting.

Firstly, you will need to provide a copy of the original key so it can be used as a template for the new key. This key will be shaved of all excess trimmings and metal so it can provide the most accurate copy possible, and won’t interfere with the cohesiveness inside the lock.

The keys will both then be placed in the key cutting machine, held side by side for the cut. The machine will then cut the indentations into the new key as matched by the original. Following this comes deburring. This is where the new key is filed down to remove all sharp edges and excess metal that were a result of the cut.

This is a general guide for the most commonly used form of key cutting. There are also other methods that involve punch machines, but these are less common and require more time and expertise by the locksmith.

At American lock and Key, we have been in the locksmith business for years and can solve all of your problems with no issue whatsoever. Providing value is our mission. Our staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and go out of their way to make sure you get the best possible experience for your key cutting needs.
