Locksmith Stockport provides a mobile key cutting service throughout Stockport. Our engineers can visit your home (or any other suitable address that you and the engineer agree on) anywhere in Stockport (postcodes SK1 to SK8 inclusive) to supply and fit a replacement key. After checking your original key we'll give you a written quote before any key cutting is carried out.
Mobile Key Cutting
Our engineers can visit your home, shop, office or any other location you require and assess the profile of your key on site. After determining what type of key blank is required, our engineer will provide you with a quote. If you’re happy with this price, we can cut your key there and then.
Key cutting can be undertaken at any property in Stockport, including Stockport Town Centre near Merseyway and Market Place and houses in areas such as Edgeley, off Castle Street. Mobile key cutting is ideal if you’re looking to provide a spare key to another member of your household, or to provide a key to a tenant or other authorised member.
Types of Keys We Can Cut in Stockport
We can cut house, cylinder, mortice and security keys, and car key blades (subject to the type of vehicle). Before agreeing to cut keys we check the original key to confirm it can be copied.
- House keys are cut for compatible household door locks.
- Cylinder keys are cut for pin-based door cylinders (subject to the type of profile and condition of the blank).
- Mortice keys are cut for the locks built into the door frame (subject to the design and condition of the key).
- Security keys – subject to the type of key we may require evidence of ownership/authorisation before copying.
- Car key blades – subject to compatibility, we can cut the physical blade for many makes and models of car.
Why a Spare Key Must Match the Original
It's important to understand that copying a damaged key will produce a damaged spare. If your key is in poor condition, for example, if it’s worn down or bent, then any copies we cut may not work very well, even if the key appears to have been cut correctly. If you think this may apply to your key, it’s worth giving us a call and explaining the situation so we can discuss your options.
If we copy a key for you and it doesn’t turn well, there may be a problem with the key blank we’ve used, or possibly with your lock. Our engineer will always check copied keys against the original and in the lock before leaving.
Spare Keys or Replacement Keys
If all of your keys have been lost or stolen, then this will affect what we can do for you. We’ll always check if it’s still possible to have your keys copied before discussing other options with you. Depending on the situation, especially if your keys have been stolen, it may be safer to have your lock changed instead.
Security Keys in Stockport
Some restricted or security key systems require proof of ownership/written authorisation to enable us to make a copy of the key. We’ll let you know over the phone if this is the case so that you can have the relevant documentation to hand when we visit.
Car Key Blade Cutting in Stockport
We can cut physical car key blades, subject to the availability of a suitable blank. All we need to know before we can provide a quote is your car’s make, model and year.
