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.

Frequently asked in Wilmington
What payment methods do you accept in Wilmington?
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.
Will the job be finished in one visit?
Usually, yes. Vans heading to Wilmington carry the common hardware and tooling, so most jobs complete on the first trip rather than needing a parts run.
Is car key duplication something you do often in Wilmington?
It's routine work for us across New Castle County. That volume is why our quotes are accurate and our technicians arrive with the right parts.
What if I'm not sure exactly what I need?
Describe the symptoms and we'll work it out on the phone. Plenty of Wilmington callers aren't sure whether they need a repair or a replacement, and that's what the call is for.
Can you handle car key duplication outside normal hours in Wilmington?
Urgent calls get priority dispatch outside standard business hours. The upfront-pricing policy stays the same — urgency doesn't change how we quote.
Do you cover Wilmington, DE?
Yes. Wilmington is inside our standard New Castle County service area, so car key duplication here is routine dispatch rather than a special trip. Call (302) 551-2550 to confirm timing for your address.
How quickly can someone get to Wilmington?
We dispatch across New Castle County throughout the day and prioritize urgent calls. Rather than quote a generic time, we'll give you a realistic window when you call (302) 551-2550 — it depends where our nearest technician is.

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.
