Need a key maker in Charlotte NC who can copy a house key that actually works, cut a restricted blank, or make a spare car key without a dealer wait? We cut on the truck. Hardware-store kiosks misread worn Schlage and Kwikset keys every week; we originate from the lock when the existing key is too far gone.
House keys, not guesswork
Bring the working key or we decode the cylinder on site. We duplicate SC1, KW1, KW10, and most residential SC4 / KW5 cores, plus mailbox and file-cabinet keys. If the lock is a restricted keyway (Medeco, Mul-T-Lock, some Schlage Everest), a store duplicate will not exist — we originate authorized blanks as a Medeco / high-security dealer. After a move, pair duplicates with a rekey so the old copies die.
Car keys and fobs
A Charlotte key maker for cars means transponder and proximity work, not just a metal blade. We cut and program at the vehicle for most Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, Nissan, and Hyundai models. All-keys-lost is a different job than a spare; say which it is. See car key replacement and keys by make.
What to have ready
- The lock brand stamped on the key bow, or a photo of the lock face if you have no key.
- ID on the property for house keys; vehicle VIN and proof of ownership for car keys.
- How many copies you want. We would rather cut two now than have you lock out at 1 a.m. — then call the 24 hour locksmith Charlotte line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you copy a key if the hardware-store copy failed?
Usually. Worn originals need to be originated from the lock pins, not from the bad copy. Bring the lock or we come to the door.
Do you cut car keys or only house keys?
Both. Car work includes transponder programming. A blade-only copy will not start a chip-key Honda or Toyota.
Can I get a key made in Charlotte NC the same day?
Yes for standard residential keys and most common car keys we stock. Restricted systems may need a blank ordered; we tell you before we start.
