Car Key Duplication

Lost your spare or down to one key? We cut and program car key copies at your driveway, fast.

Car key duplication is the process of cutting and, when needed, programming a working copy of your existing car key so you have a backup, from $75. Apex Locksmith Pros does it on-site across North Dallas, whether you drive a basic metal key, a transponder key, a flip key, or a push-to-start smart fob. We match the cut to your vehicle and pair the chip to your car before we leave.

$75
  • On-site key cutting matched to your make and model

Simple & fast

How Car Key Duplication Works

We come to you, copy the key on the spot, and make sure it works before we leave. Most visits wrap up in 20 to 30 minutes.

  1. 1

    Tell us your car and key type

    Call or text your year, make, model, and whether it's a metal key, transponder, flip key, or smart fob. We bring the right blank and programmer.

  2. 2

    We cut and program on-site

    A tech arrives at your home, office, or wherever you parked. We cut the copy to match your original and program the chip to your vehicle if it has one.

  3. 3

    We test before we leave

    We start the engine and check the doors with the new key before handing it over.

  4. 4

    Pay the flat rate from the call

    The phone quote is the bill, nothing extra shows up at the car. Want a second copy on the same visit, just tell the tech before the gear gets packed up.

Having the original makes duplication faster and cheaper. If you've lost all your keys, that's a different job called key origination, which we also do on-site.

Duplication starts around $75. The final price depends on whether your key has a chip and needs programming, and we quote the flat rate before we start.

Yes. We program a duplicate fob to your vehicle on-site, test that it locks, unlocks, and starts the car, then hand it over.
