Solving Your Car Key Duplication Challenges in New Castle
Only One Car Key — No Spare
If you lose your only key, duplication is significantly more efficient than total replacement — plus you won't need a tow. Getting a spare made while you have the original is the smartest move.
Dealer Wants Too Much for a Key Copy
Dealers routinely charge a premium for a duplicate car key. We cut and program the same key on-site for significantly less — and you don't have to leave your car at the dealership.
Need Extra Keys for Family Members
Spouse, teenager, elderly parent who visits — multiple drivers need multiple keys. We cut and program as many copies as you need in one visit.
Your Only Key Is Worn and Unreliable
The key blade is worn down from years of daily use. It jiggles in the lock, sticks in the ignition, or barely grips the cylinder. Get a fresh duplicate cut from the VIN or code before your worn key stops working entirely.
Shared Vehicle Needs Multiple Sets
Whether it's a company work truck or a family car that multiple people drive, having one key floating between drivers is a recipe for getting stranded. We duplicate as many sets as you need in a single visit.
Historic Building Preservation
New Castle's exceptionally preserved colonial architecture requires specialized knowledge to service antique locks without damaging historic integrity.
Waterfront Property Security
Properties along the Delaware River and Battery Park area have unique security considerations including boat houses and outbuildings.
Tourism Foot Traffic
The historic district sees tourist activity, making prompt response to both resident and visitor lockouts important.

Why Our Car Key Duplication Standards Lead the Industry
The Kwikey Protocol for Car Key Duplication
Tell Us Your Vehicle Info
Year, make, and model — we'll confirm the key type (standard, transponder, laser-cut, proximity) and bring the right blanks.
On-Site Key Cutting
Using your original key as reference, we cut precision duplicates on our mobile key machine — right at your location.
Chip Programming (If Needed)
For transponder and smart keys, we program the chip to match your vehicle's immobilizer system. The new key starts your car just like the original.
Test All Copies
We test every key — lock, unlock, and start the engine — before we leave. You drive away with fully working spares.
"Had a keyless entry lock installed on our front door. Kwikey wired it up, programmed our codes, and connected it to our phone app. The auto-lock feature gives us great peace of mind."
"Both our car keys stopped working after going through the washing machine. Kwikey replaced and reprogrammed both fobs on site. Much faster and cheaper than the dealership."
"Restaurant kitchen needed commercial-grade locks that meet health code (easy to clean, no dirt traps). Kwikey knew exactly which locks were approved and installed them. Also set up a manager's master key. Perfect!"
Solving Car Key Duplication Queries for New Castle
Is my problem the ignition or the starter? expand_more
If your key turns but nothing happens, it's likely the starter. If the key won't turn or gets stuck, it's the ignition cylinder. We diagnose this on-site and only fix what's actually broken. No guesswork.
Can you clone my existing transponder key? expand_more
For many vehicles, yes. We can copy the chip data from your existing key to a new blank. For high-security vehicles, we may need to program through your car's computer. Either way, we'll have you covered.
Can you cut a car key using the VIN number? expand_more
Yes, our advanced mobile units can cut new car keys directly from the VIN number once ownership is verified. This specialized service is essential when all keys are lost and ensures a perfect factory-standard fit for your vehicle.
Do you work on older vehicles without computer chips? expand_more
Absolutely! We cut keys for all vehicles, from classic cars to modern ones. Older vehicles with simple keys are actually our most efficient jobs. We can often have you a new key professionally for vehicles from the 1990s and earlier.
What information do you need when I call? expand_more
For the most efficient service, have ready: your location (address or cross streets), type of lockout (home, car, business), vehicle year/make/model if automotive, and any details about your lock type if you know them. This helps us dispatch the right tech with the right tools.
Should I get a spare car key made? expand_more
Definitely. Getting a spare now is a highly recommended safety measure compared to what you'll experience during an emergency lockout. Plus, programming a spare is simpler and more straightforward when you have a working key to reference.
