Key Cutting & Duplication for Carlton homes and businesses
A badly cut key does not fail immediately. It works for a month, wears the pins in your cylinder, and then strands you. We cut to the original specification, on calibrated machines, and we test every key in the lock it is meant for before handing it over.
Why Carlton in particular
The period housing here was built with mortice locks, and a century of trades has left a mix of original hardware, 1970s additions and whatever was cheapest in between. Working out what is actually fitted comes before deciding what to fit. The 1960s and 70s walk-up flats are the recurring job here. Shared entry doors on ageing common-property locks, letterbox banks, and individual flat doors on cylinders that have been rekeyed by half a dozen different trades over fifty years.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Carlton and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same number. Quotes are free, given before we start, and there is no obligation.

Key Cutting — what customers say
Illustrative examples — real reviews replace these at launch.
“Cut spares for the whole family and tested every one in the lock before he left. The last place I used gave me keys that jammed within a month.”
“My original was badly worn and he cut to the code rather than copying the worn blade. The new one turns better than the old one did.”
“Needed extra restricted keys for the office. Checked I was on the signatory list first, which is the entire reason we went restricted.”

Key Cutting & Duplication in Carlton — common questions
How quickly can you get to Carlton for key cutting & duplication?
30 minutes is the target. Working from the Richmond base, Carlton is a straightforward run at most hours. It sits in the middle of our coverage, and the run is a short one at most hours. We give you a realistic arrival window on the phone rather than a number that sounds good.
Can you copy a key stamped 'do not duplicate'?
Not without authorisation. If it is a restricted key, copies can only be cut for a registered signatory on that system — which is exactly the protection you paid for when it was installed.
My original key is worn. Will the copy be worse?
A copy of a worn key inherits the wear and then adds to it. Where possible we cut to the original code rather than tracing the worn blade, which gives you a key that fits like the first one did.
