Key Cutting & Duplication for Carnegie 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 Carnegie in particular
Postwar brick-veneer homes with aluminium sliding doors are the common pattern here, and the sliding door is almost always the soft point — a track lock that lifts out is not a lock, and the fix is a proper bolt rather than a bigger cylinder on the front door. Walk-up flat blocks make up a large part of the housing, and their weak point is rarely the flat door — it is the common entry, which is owners-corporation property and often has more keys in circulation than anyone can account for.
Getting to you
From the Richmond base, Carnegie 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.
We cover the whole of Carnegie 3163 — Grange Road, Neerim Road and Glen Huntly Road, and the streets around Carnegie Central and Ames Avenue Reserve.

What it costs
We do not publish prices, because a jammed deadlock on a heritage door in Carnegie and a spring latch that has swung shut are not the same job and should not carry the same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 Carnegie — common questions
How quickly can you get to Carnegie for key cutting & duplication?
30 minutes is the target. From the Richmond base, Carnegie 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.
