Key Cutting
When you lose your keys, it can be a major problem. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services that can assist you in getting back on track.
We provide both regular and high-security key duplication. For standard keys we use an instrument for cutting keys that can duplicate mortise or keys made of cylinders. The key is held in the vise, and then cut using a blade. The new key is then deburred, using a wirebrush built into the machine, or manually on an industrial bench grinder - to remove any burrs that could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.
When it comes to high-security keys, you need a special machine designed to cut these keys. This type of machine is more expensive than other key duplicate machines, however it is also very accurate. It is a good idea bring the original key when cutting these keys due to the fact that differences in the shape of the key could render it useless.
We employ Framon two manual-driven machines that are regarded as the most reliable and stable in the market. Some clients have even told tales of them falling off their work bench to the floor, and being perfectly fine. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.
Transponder Programming
If your Citroen has a transponder, you will require a programed key to the system. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car. if a different key is employed, the onboard computer cannot recognize the serial number and will not allow the engine to start.
