Why accuracy matters
A key cut slightly off can work at first, then wear your lock or stick. Copying a copy compounds errors. A locksmith can cut by code or decode the original lock for a more precise key.
Keys that can't be copied easily
High-security and restricted keys use controlled keyways, and copies need authorization. That's the point: it keeps unofficial copies out of circulation.
On site
A mobile locksmith can cut keys at your home, which helps when you need to test each copy in the lock straight away. Pair it with rekeying if you're not sure who else holds keys.
