Most Common Types of Keys

A professional locksmith is capable of making duplicates of any type of key there is out there. Still, most of our clients have keys that fall in one of the following five categories:

• Lever-type lock keys – If you have an old-fashioned lever tumbler lock in your home, you may think that its lock is not easy to duplicate. Just because it looks big doesn’t mean that this kind of key is difficult to cut. On the contrary, cutting lever-type lock keys is something these locksmiths can do in just a few minutes’ time. 
• Pin tumbler lock keys – Pin tumbler locks a.k.a. Yale locks are used very commonly in American households. If you have these locks in your home, you will be glad to hear that these locksmiths have the right tools for pin tumbler lock key duplications. Even if you’ve lost the key, it will take the locksmiths only a few minutes to cut a new key based on nothing but the lock.
• Maison keys – These locks can be opened with a number of individual keys, which is why they’re typically used for entries to offices or large residential buildings. So, you can ask your neighbors/coworkers to land you a key which the locksmiths would duplicate. Alternatively, they can come by to your apartment building and cut a new key based on the Maison lock.
• Tubular keys – Commonly used top lock/unlock cabinets, mailboxes, vending machines, and so on, tubular keys have a design that makes them tricky to duplicate. Not many locksmiths are actually able to do it. But, those that do business with Certified Contractors can handle this work easily!
• Car & boat keys – These keys are usually used for getting inside the car/boat as well as for the ignition. This means that if you lose or break the key, you may get into real trouble. But, worry not, because you have us to come to your aid. Certified Contractors will connect you with professional locksmiths from your area who will cut a new key right there on the spot.

Key Duplication

Why would you even consider hiring someone to copy keys for you unless you’ve broken or lost them? Well, because it’s much easier and much more affordable to make spare keys before a problem arises. Not to mention that having duplicate keys in your possession can save you a lot of trouble later on.

For example, if you lose your key, you will not get locked out of your flat or car if you have spare keys somewhere nearby. Of course, even if you don’t have them, it’s not the end of the world. The locksmiths Certified Contractors works with can make you a new key even if you don’t provide them with the original.

Key Cutting

Can you cut a key based on a broken one? This is a question that we’re asked all the time. The answer to it is: yes, of course! You just need to provide the locksmiths with the broken key and they will make a new one based on it in a matter of minutes. But, what if you don’t have a key at all?

When you lose your key, there is no need to get a whole new lock. Some types of locks are cut into doors, so replacing them isn’t easy. Nor is it very affordable. Instead, a much better solution is just to get new keys! Even if you don’t have a spare key which they would use as the basis for cutting a new one, these locksmiths will still be able to help you. In that case, they would need access to your lock.

What this means is that you need to call us and our phone agents will put you through to expert locksmiths who will come to your place to provide the service on the spot. The best thing about this is that no matter where you might be located, we will be able to help you!
