What happened?

Down to one key

One key and no spare means one lost key away from a locked door.

New people need keys

A new roommate, a family member, a sitter or a new hire.

A key that sticks

It catches, or you have to jiggle it before it turns.

Start from the original

A copy is cut by tracing the key in front of it. Copy a copy of a copy, and tiny errors add up until the key sticks or won't turn at all. When you can, copy the original key, not a spare.

What changes the price

Questions people ask

How many spares should I keep?

One at home in a safe spot, and one with someone you trust nearby, is a good start.

Should I copy my keys or rekey the locks?

If you know where every key is, copies are fine. If you don't, a rekey resets things and you start fresh.

Can my car key be copied too?

A plain metal car key is like any other key. Most newer car keys have a chip that has to be programmed to the car. See car keys.
