Key duplication The process of key duplication is to create an exact replica of a particular key. You can duplicate a standard metal key at a local hardware store or locksmith that has the necessary equipment. Or, you can make it at home with a file or a Dremel tool. You'll require a key that's the thickness of the key you originally used (or thicker) and a blank key that is the same design as the one you want. The key is positioned on the opposite side of the duplicator and lined up with a specific blade, which cuts into the blank key to create duplicates. The key is then sanded, resulting in an even finish. Using a file is the preferred method, however it's not as efficient and may require patience to create an exact copy. If you're using a file, be sure that the teeth aren't sharp. This will stop the cylinder in the lock from becoming damaged. If you don't own a key cutter, you can make use of a drill. However it is more time-consuming and difficult than using a basic file. Many modern cars have added security features that make them difficult to duplicate. Some vehicles are equipped with keys that include a chip. The key transmits an indication when the correct key is close. If you own a car that requires a chipped key be sure to visit a professional locksmith instead of attempting to duplicate it yourself at home.
