Spare Car Key in Altadena: What's Really Involved

Cutting a key that works flawlessly is precision work. The blade has to match your lock's exact spacing and depths, and for modern keys the electronic chip or remote has to be programmed to your specific vehicle or system. A key that's even slightly off will feel rough, wear your lock prematurely, or fail to turn at all.

We use professional cutting and decoding equipment, quality blanks, and careful testing so every key we hand you is smooth, accurate, and dependable. Getting spares made now — before you need them — is one of the cheapest forms of insurance against a future lockout.
