Keys We Can Duplicate

We can duplicate all types of keys, including single-sided metal keys for residential door locks, mailboxes, padlocks, and more.
We handle the most common and specialty keys used in Jackson homes, businesses, and vehicles:
- House keys for residential doors
- Office keys for workspaces, storage rooms, and cabinets
- Padlock keys for gates, sheds, and equipment
- Traditional and laser-cut car keys
- Transponder keys and key fobs for compatible vehicles
- Mailbox and cabinet keys
- Skeleton keys
- High Security Keys (with proper authorization)
We maintain a broad selection of key blanks so we can duplicate older keys, uncommon profiles, and specialized hardware on the spot. Matching the correct blank to the lock is essential for a reliable fit, and we keep the tools needed for most brands used in Southeast Missouri.
Car Key Duplication and Programming
We duplicate, replace, and program keys for many makes and models, including traditional metal keys and newer transponder styles. For vehicle keys that require programming, we use equipment that syncs the new key with your car’s security system. Each replacement is tested in your ignition to confirm proper function.
If the original key is lost, we can often create a working replacement by “decoding” the lock cylinder with specialized tools or using the manufacturer’s key code. This avoids the hassle of towing your vehicle to a dealership and allows you to get back on the road sooner. Our service covers personal cars, work trucks, and certain commercial fleet vehicles.
Lost Key Replacement for Jackson Homes and Businesses

We can also create replacement skeleton keys for antique door and furniture locks.
If you’ve lost the last copy of your house, car, or mailbox key, call us! We can also cut skeleton keys for antique locks. We have specialized tools that can read/decode the arrangement of the pins or wafers in the internal lock cylinder, so we can cut a key to match them. We can also cut one of our in-stock key blanks with a unique pattern and rekey your lock by changing out the pins/wafers in the internal cylinder to match the new key. This process works for most residential and office locks and can be done on-site. Proof of authorization is required to maintain security for restricted or high-security keys.
If a lost key could lead to unauthorized entry, we can also rekey the affected locks during the same visit. This ensures old keys no longer work and your property remains secure.
Why Choose a Locksmith Over a Hardware Store
Hardware stores and kiosks like Minute Key can copy basic house keys but lack the tools for many vehicle, restricted, or high-security keys. They also can’t program transponder keys and don’t carry specific specialty blanks. Poorly cut keys from low-grade machines can cause lock wear and premature failure.
A locksmith ensures your key is cut to exact specifications, matched to the correct blank, and ready for immediate use. Choosing a professional protects your locks, improves reliability, and avoids the risks of low-quality duplicates.
