Exclusive Key Duplicating Capabilities
No other locksmith can duplicate keys from our high-security keyway. During the installation of our high-security locks, we receive the names and signatures of the individuals authorized to request additional keys. This list is defined by the customer. Only those individuals on that list will receive additional keys when requested.
We regularly turn away individuals who arrive at our lock shop requesting additional keys but are not listed as authorized. It doesn’t matter if requesting for family members or friends, if they are not on the authorized list, we do not honor their request.
Secure Records for Every Lock and Key
We record and maintain a record of all of the locks and keys for each high-security key system we administer. The on-site location of each specific lock plus every key/lock combo is recorded when it is installed. We track exactly how many keys were cut and also if and when any rekeying occurred. Our high-security keys are cut by code, not merely copied from an existing key. We have exclusive access to the depths and angles of a key code.
