Car Key Duplication & Spare Keys – Asheville, NC
Local | Family-owned | 25+ Years Serving Western NC
Why You Shouldn’t Wait Until You’re Down to Zero Keys
Running your life on a single car key is stressful—and expensive if it gets lost. Making a duplicate while you still have a working key is almost always cheaper and faster than an emergency “all keys lost” job.
We can help you:
Get a backup key for your daily driver or family car
Add extra keys for new drivers in the household
Replace worn keys before they start failing
Have a spare ready for trips, valet parking, or leaving a key with a trusted friend
Mobile Car Key Duplication – We Come to You
Instead of taking time off work or sitting in a dealership waiting room, our mobile locksmith van comes to your driveway, workplace, or parking lot.
During your appointment we can:
Cut a precise duplicate of your existing car key
Program transponder/chipped keys and smart keys when needed
Test both the original and the new key in the doors and ignition
Make additional copies while we’re there so everyone has their own key
You get fresh, clean-cut keys that work smoothly—without leaving home.
We regularly duplicate keys for most everyday vehicles, including:
Standard metal keys for older cars and trucks
Transponder/chipped keys that need programming
Remote-head keys (key + remote in one unit)
Key fobs and smart keys for many push-to-start vehicles
If your vehicle uses a system that requires dealer-only programming, we’ll tell you up front before you schedule.
Types of Car Keys We Can Duplicate
When’s the Best Time to Get a Spare Key?
Good times to call for a duplicate include:
You just bought a used car that came with only one key
Your key blade is worn or bent, or only works if you “wiggle” it
You’ve locked yourself out before and don’t want to repeat that panic
A teen driver or partner now shares the car and needs their own key
If you’re not sure what you need, send us your year, make, and model and we’ll walk you through the options.

Is it cheaper to make a duplicate before I lose my key?
Almost always. When at least one key still works, we can copy and program from that key or your vehicle’s data. Once all keys are gone, the job is more complex and usually more expensive.
Can you duplicate my chipped key or smart key?
In many cases, yes. We can both cut the blade and program the chip or fob for many domestic and import vehicles. Call with your year, make, and model so we can confirm.
Car Key Duplication FAQs
How long does it take to make a spare key?

Do I need to come to your shop?
No. We’re fully mobile—our locksmith van comes to your location with the key-cutting and programming equipment on board.
