Car Key Duplication
$65 - $200 | 15-30 minutes | Available 24/7
Triton Locksmith duplicate your existing car key on-site for $65-$200. Standard metal keys are $65-$85. Transponder chip keys are $100-$150. Smart keys and fobs are $150-$200. Takes 15-30 minutes. Much faster and cheaper than the dealer.
What's the Difference Between Duplication and Replacement?
Duplication means we copy your existing key. Replacement means we create one from scratch. Duplication is faster and cheaper because we clone the blade pattern and transponder data from your working key. No need to decode the car's immobilizer.
If you still have at least one working key and want a spare, duplication is the way to go. If all keys are lost, that's a replacement job (different service, higher price).
What Types of Car Keys Can We Duplicate?
Metal-only keys, transponder keys, remote head keys, and some smart keys. Standard metal keys (older vehicles without chips) are cut in 5 minutes. Transponder keys need the chip cloned, which adds 10-15 minutes. Remote head keys (the kind with buttons built into the key head) need the remote programmed too.
According to the Automotive Locksmith Association, 72% of vehicles on the road today use some form of transponder or proximity system. We carry cloning equipment for all major chip types including Texas Instruments (TI), Philips/NXP, and Megamos.
