The cheapest time to get a spare is right now
If any of these describe what you're dealing with right now, this is the service you need. Call with your situation and location - we'll confirm we can help before sending anyone out.
You only have one car key
If that one key gets lost, stolen, or breaks, you're looking at an expensive replacement from scratch. A $50–$150 copy now prevents a $300–$800 emergency later.
Multiple people need to drive the same car
Sharing one key between family members or coworkers means constant coordination. We make copies so everyone has their own key and nobody's waiting around.
Your key is getting worn down
Years of use round off the edges of your key. Eventually it'll jam in the ignition or stop working. We copy it now while it still works - or decode it back to factory specs if it's already worn.
You want a key to hide for emergencies
A spare key in your wallet, desk drawer, or with a trusted person means you're never truly locked out. It's the simplest insurance against a bad day.
Describe your situation - we'll confirm the right service and come prepared.

Tested before handoff Car Key Duplication at Your Location in Delaware
Getting a spare car key made is one of the smartest things a car owner can do. Kwikey Locksmith comes to your location in Delaware or nearby Pennsylvania and duplicates your working key on the spot. We handle all types - basic metal keys, chip keys, laser-cut keys, and fobs.
Every Key Type: Basic, Chip, Laser-Cut, and Fob
Not all car keys are the same. Basic keys just need a blade cut. Chip keys need the blade plus programming so the engine starts. Laser-cut keys require precision equipment. Fobs need button pairing. We handle all of these in a single visit at your car.
Why a Spare Key Now Saves You Hundreds Later
When you lose your only car key, the replacement process is expensive: the locksmith has to create a key from scratch using your VIN, which takes more time, more equipment, and costs significantly more. By getting a copy made while your original still works, you're paying a fraction of that price for the same result.

Car Key Duplication FAQ
These are the questions people ask most before booking this service. If yours isn't here, call us - we'll answer it directly.
How much does it cost to get a car key copied?
Basic metal keys are the cheapest. Chip keys cost more because they need programming. Smart fobs and laser-cut keys are at the higher end. The type of key your car uses determines the cost.
Can you copy a key that has a chip in it?
Yes. We duplicate the physical blade AND program the chip so the copy starts your engine. A hardware store can copy the blade but can't do the chip - that's why you need us.
How long does it take to copy a car key?
Basic keys take about 5 minutes. Chip keys and fobs take 15–30 minutes because of the programming step. We do it all at your location.
Will copying my key affect the original?
No. Your original key works exactly the same after we make a copy. We're adding a new key, not changing anything about your existing one.
Is it really cheaper to copy now vs. replace later?
Significantly. Copying a key with a working original costs a fraction of what it costs to make one from scratch after losing your only key. The difference can be hundreds of dollars.
