Comprehensive Car Key Duplication Strategies in Newark
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.
University Student Housing
Newark has thousands of rental properties housing UD students. Landlords frequently need lock changes between tenants, and students often experience lockouts during late-night studying or after losing keys at campus events.
Apartment Complex Access
Large apartment communities near campus and throughout Newark require master key system management, unit rekeying, and prompt lockout support for residents.
Historic Downtown Buildings
Main Street's charming historic buildings often have older lock hardware that requires specialized expertise for repair, rekeying, and modern security upgrades.

"August smart lock connected to my existing deadbolt. Tech knew the product well, set up the app on my phone, and even helped me connect it to my Alexa. Now I can unlock with voice commands!"
"My house key broke inside the deadbolt and I couldn't get the broken piece out. The tech used a specialized extractor tool and had it out in under five minutes. He even filed down my spare key so it wouldn't happen again."
"Just moved into a new house and wanted all the locks rekeyed. The technician was very thorough, explained everything, and gave me a fair diagnostic quote. Will definitely use Kwikey again!"
Expertly Resolved FAQ: Car Key Duplication
Can you make car keys for any vehicle? expand_more
Yes, we can cut and program keys for most makes and models, including transponder keys, smart keys, and key fobs. We work with domestic and foreign vehicles, both new and older models.
Do I need to make an appointment or can you come now? expand_more
Both work! For emergencies, we prioritize your call. For scheduled work like lock installation or rekeying, we can book appointments that fit your schedule. Tell us your preference when you call.
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.
I lost all my car keys. Can you still help? expand_more
Absolutely. We can create a new key from scratch for most vehicles. We'll verify ownership, program a new transponder or smart key, and have you driving again. This is much more convenient than towing to a dealership.
Are your locksmiths background-verified? expand_more
Yes, every technician on our team undergoes rigorous multi-stage background verification and carries comprehensive professional insurance. We prioritize your security by ensuring our staff are verified experts in residential, commercial, and automotive lock systems.
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.
