Replacement Keys
Lost, damaged, or worn-out key? Dokey Locksmith Services provides professional replacement key services for residential, commercial, and selected automotive locks — contact us to discuss your situation.
Note: Replacement key options depend on the lock type and whether the key code is available. For some locks, a replacement key cannot be provided without the original key — in these cases, a lock replacement or rekeying may be recommended instead.
About This Service
What Are Replacement Keys?
Replacement keys are new keys provided when the original key is lost, damaged, or no longer functional. Unlike key duplication — which creates a copy from an existing working key — replacement key services provide a new key without requiring the original. The process depends on the lock type and whether the key code is available. For some locks, a replacement key can be cut using the lock's key code. For others, the lock may need to be inspected or the key cut by trial and adjustment. A professional locksmith will assess your situation and advise on the best approach.
