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.

Fraction of the cost of a replacement
Duplicating a key while you have a working original is significantly cheaper than making one from scratch after you've lost it. You save hundreds by acting now.
All key types, not just basic ones
We copy everything from simple metal keys to chip keys, laser-cut keys, and fobs. If your car uses it, we can duplicate it - including the programming.
Done at your location in minutes
No need to drive anywhere or drop off your car. We come to your home or office and most copies are done in 15–30 minutes.
A spare for the whole family
With a spare key, a lost key is an inconvenience instead of an emergency. No panic, no tow truck, no $800 dealer bill. Just grab the spare and go.
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.

What Swarthmore customers can expect
From Swarthmore homes to local businesses, our car key duplication work is done on location by licensed technicians carrying the right hardware.
Being based in the Wilmington area puts Swarthmore within a short dispatch. That proximity is why we can offer realistic arrival windows instead of vague half-day promises.
Vehicle work in Swarthmore is done at your location — driveway, parking lot, or roadside. Our equipment covers most makes and model years, including transponder and proximity systems that need programming rather than just cutting.
Modern car keys are electronics as much as metal. Our Swarthmore calls come equipped for cutting and programming both, so you're not sent to a dealership afterwards.
Typical car key duplication work
- Remote batteries and casings replaced without re-pairing
- Spare keys cut while a technician is already on site
- All keys lost — a new key originated and programmed from scratch
- Broken keys extracted from door locks and ignitions
- Trunk and glovebox locks opened or re-keyed
From your call to a finished job
After you call, we'll ask enough questions to quote accurately. Then a licensed technician heads to Swarthmore with the right hardware and finishes the work while you're present.
Our technicians clean up after themselves. A Swarthmore job finishes with the workspace as it was found, minus the problem.
We'd rather quote accurately than quote low and revise upward. That's the whole reason we ask questions before giving a Swarthmore price.

Frequently asked in Swarthmore
Do you work with insurance claims?
We provide written records of the work and hardware fitted on Swarthmore jobs, which is generally what insurers ask for. Tell us in advance if you need particular detail.
Do I need to be present for the work in Swarthmore?
For most jobs yes — we verify authority over the property or vehicle before starting. If that's difficult, call (302) 551-2550 and we'll work out what's practical.
What does car key duplication cost in Swarthmore?
It depends on the specifics, which is why we quote before starting rather than after finishing. Describe the job on the phone and you'll get a firm number to approve or decline.
What payment methods do you accept in Swarthmore?
The technician can take payment on completion by the usual methods. Payment is due once the work is finished and you're satisfied, not up front.
Is there a Kwikey shop in Swarthmore I can visit?
No — we're a mobile service. For car key duplication, the technician comes to your location in Swarthmore with the equipment on the van. That's usually faster than a shop visit anyway.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Swarthmore callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.

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.
Need a car key copy?
Tell us your car's year, make, and model, and what type of key you have. We'll confirm we can handle it and come make the copy wherever your car is parked.
