What Is Key Cutting?
Key cutting is the process of creating a new key by shaping a blank key to match the profile of an existing key or lock. This requires specialized equipment that accurately cuts the metal to ensure the finished key aligns properly with the lock mechanism. We aim to ensure that each cut key is adequately tested and checked for accuracy before delivery.

Difference Between Key Cutting and Duplication
Clients sometimes ask about the difference between key cutting and key duplication. In practice, these terms often refer to similar services, but there is a distinction:
-
Key cutting generally refers to creating a new key from either an original key or from code, using specialized equipment to shape the blank accurately.
-
Key duplication usually refers to copying an existing key, typically using a duplicating machine that traces the original key’s profile.
Both methods aim to produce an accurate and functional key. Kurt’s Lock & Safe provides both services, focusing on maintaining precision and reliability in every key produced.
Why Do You Need a Spare Key?
Carrying spare keys is a simple but important step in preventing inconvenience or security issues. Some common reasons to maintain spare keys include:
-
Preventing lockouts: Having a spare key available to a trusted contact can help avoid emergency lockout situations.
-
Managing household access: Spare keys allow family members or caregivers to access the property as needed.
-
Preparing for lost keys: A spare key prevents the need for urgent rekeying or lock replacement if a key is lost.
-
Rental property management: Landlords should maintain spares for all units to support tenant turnover and emergencies.
-
Business and commercial access: Spare keys help ensure authorized staff can maintain operational access.
Whether you need one copy or multiple sets, our accurate and efficient key cutting in Kelowna helps you maintain secure and convenient access across your home, business, or rental properties. Get in touch with us today to learn more about our services.
