Key Cutting
When you lose your keys, it can be a major hassle. Ace Hardware offers hassle free key cutting services that can help you get your life back on the right track.
We provide regular and high-security keys for duplicate. For normal keys, we use the key cutting machine which can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is put in a vise, and then cut with a blade then the new key is deburred and scrubbed with a wire brush that is built into the machine, or manually using a bench grinder to remove burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
When it comes to keys with high security, you need a special machine that can cut these types of keys. This machine is more expensive, but it's also extremely precise. Bring the original key when you receive the keys cut. The shape of the key could cause the key to be useless.
