Key cutting in Victoria typically costs between $10 and $60, depending on the key type — from standard house keys to high-security laser and CNC cuts. Lockpro Victoria offers same-day and 24/7 availability across V8W and V8T postal zones, ensuring quick, precise duplication every time.

Disclaimer: Final prices may vary based on key design, security level, and the equipment used. Always confirm your quote before cutting.

Worn or Damaged Keys: Old or bent keys often stop turning smoothly. Around areas like Downtown Victoria (V8W) or James Bay, we cut fresh duplicates using CNC and laser machines to restore perfect alignment and smooth operation.

Poorly Cut Duplicates: Keys made at kiosks or DIY machines can cause jams or damage locks. Our professional key cutters in Fairfield and Fernwood use precision tools for accurate duplication every time.

Lost or Misplaced Keys: Whether it’s for your home in Rockland or your business in Victoria West, we quickly create replacement keys using code cutting or impressioning techniques — no original required.

Transponder & Smart Key Issues: Modern automotive keys often lose programming or break easily. We repair and recut transponder and electronic keys with expert calibration across Hillside–Quadra and Oaklands.

High-Security & Restricted Keys: These require exact duplication using specialized cutting equipment. We handle restricted master keys and commercial key systems with full confidentiality, serving offices near Inner Harbour and V8T postal zones.

Key Not Fitting Properly: A misaligned cut or worn key blank can stop a key from entering fully. We correct cuts for proper fit, key longevity, and lock safety, whether you’re in Fernwood or Downtown.

Broken or Stuck Keys: Keys that snap inside locks are replaced instantly, ensuring quick access without harming your property or lock mechanism — available 24/7 across Victoria.
