Key Cutting

 

Professional Key Cutting Services in Calgary
Key cutting is one of the most common and important locksmith services, but accuracy matters. At Always Affordable Locksmiths, we provide professional key cutting in Calgary for a wide range of residential, commercial, and specialty keys. Properly cut keys reduce wear on locks, improve reliability, and help avoid unexpected lockouts.

 
Residential Key Cutting
We cut keys for homes, condos, apartments, and rental properties. Whether you need spare keys for family members or replacements for worn keys, our in-shop key cutting service ensures smooth operation and consistent performance.

Common residential keys we cut include:

·         House and door keys

·         Deadbolt and knob keys

·         Garage and shed keys

·         Mailbox and utility keys

 
Commercial & Office Key Cutting
Businesses often require multiple copies of keys for staff, maintenance, or access control. We cut keys for offices, retail locations, warehouses, and commercial properties, with attention to accuracy and durability.

This includes keys for:

·         Office doors and suites

·         File cabinets and desks

·         Storage rooms and back-of-house areas

·         Restricted or controlled key systems (where authorized)

 
High-Accuracy & Specialty Key Cutting
Not all keys can be duplicated at big-box stores. We cut many specialty and precision keys that require proper equipment and locksmith experience.

These may include:

·         High-security keys (authorization required)

·         Restricted keyways

·         Older or uncommon key blanks

·         Worn keys that need careful duplication

·         We always confirm key type and duplication eligibility before cutting.

 
Why Professional Key Cutting Matters
Poorly cut keys can cause lock damage, sticking, or complete failure over time. Professional key cutting helps:

·         Extend the life of your locks

·         Reduce key breakage

·         Improve reliability and smooth operation

·         Avoid emergency lockout situations

·         Our technicians take the time to ensure each key is cut accurately and tested when possible.

 
When You Should Get a Key Cut
You should consider cutting a new key if:

·         You only have one working key

·         Your key is bent, cracked, or worn

·         The key works inconsistently

·         You need spares for family, staff, or tenants

·         Having properly cut backup keys helps prevent costly and stressful situations.
