WHAT IS KEY DUPLICATION?

OUR MAIN SPECIALITY INCLUDES PRODUCING EXTRA KEYS FOR LOCKS ON DEMAND OF OUR CUSTOMERS.

WHENEVER A CUSTOMER PURCHASES A LOCK FOR HIS PERSONAL USE OR FOR THAT MATTER, EVEN PURCHASES A VEHICLE OR A HOUSE, HE WILL POSSESS ITS ORIGINAL KEYS WHICH WILL NORMALLY BE 2-3 IN NUMBER. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT HE NEEDS TO HAVE ONE OR MORE SPARES WITH HIM, LEST HE LOSES HIS ORIGINAL ONES, WHICH WOULD THEN MAKE HIM UNABLE TO ENTER HIS OWN HOUSE, OPEN HIS OWN MONEY CHEST OR DRIVE HIS OWN CAR. THE SPARE KEY WHICH IS THUS PRODUCED ON DEMAND IS THE DUPLICATE KEY.

THE OTHER INSTANCES WHERE THE CUSTOMER INTENDS TO POSSESS A DUPLICATE KEY WOULD BE

• FOR THE OFFICE COLLEAGUES, IN CASE A COMMON DOOR OR A LOCK IS REQUIRED TO BE USED.
• IN CASE A HOUSE IS LET OUT FOR RENT.
• TO SURRENDER TO THE FINANCING COMPANY IN CASE POSSESSION OR VEHICLE IS BOUGHT ON LOAN.
• AS A SECURITY FOR LOSS OF ORIGINAL KEY.

HOW DO WE DUPLICATE KEYS?

DUPLICATING A KEY FROM ITS ORIGINAL KEY IS THE SAME AS OBTAINING A PHOTO-COPY OF AN ORIGINAL DOCUMENT. IF YOU POSSESS ANY ORIGINAL KEY OF A LOCK, IT COULD BE BROUGHT TO ANY LOCKSMITH SHOP WHO CAN PRODUCE A TYPICAL COPY OF THAT KEY AND ENABLE IT TO BE USED AS THE ORIGINAL ITSELF.

SPEEDEX LOCKS AND KEY SERVICES USES THE FOLLOWING TECHNIQUES TO DUPLICATE KEYS-

• UNIQUE HAND SKILLS(TRADITIONAL METHOD)- THIS METHOD INVOLVES FILING OF METAL RAW METAL KEY BLANKS TO THE EXACT SHAPE OF THAT OF THE ORIGINAL ONE. THIS METHOD IS USED ONLY BY US IN THE PRESENT DAYS AND IS IMMENSELY EFFECTIVE.
• COMPUTERISED KEY DUPLICATION(MODERN METHOD)- THIS METHOD IS WIDELY USED BY LOCKSMITHS AROUND THE GLOBE. IT INVOLVES FEEDING THE ORIGINAL KEY INTO THE COMPUTERISED MACHINERY AND AT THE SAME TIME INSERTING THE RAW KEY BLANK ON THE OTHER SIDE. THE DUPLICATE KEY IS THUS PRODUCED IN A MINUTE. EVEN THE KEY CODES CAN BE FED INTO THE SOPHISTICATED MACHINES TO OBTAIN THE DUPLICATE KEYS. THIS METHOD RESEMBLES THE PHOTOCOPY SYSTEM ITSELF.
• KEY DUPLICATION FOR LOCKS WITHOUT ANY ORIGINAL KEY- THIS IS OUR SPECIALITY IN THE FIELD WHICH INVOLVES CREATING OUR OWN ORIGINAL KEY FOR THE LOCKS, HOUSES OR AUTOMOBILES WHEREIN THE OWNER HAS LOST ALL THE ORIGINAL KEYS. THIS HOWEVER, IS NOT POSSIBLE WITH THE HELP OF MACHINERY BECAUSE NO ORIGINAL COPY WOULD BE AVAILABLE.

REMEMBER!! WHEN YOU COME OVER TO ORDER FOR A DUPLICATE KEY...

• DO NOT ASK THE THIRD PARTY i.e. house maids, relatives etc TO GET THE KEY DUPLICATED FROM THE LOCKSMITHS. THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE OF MIS-USE OF THE DUPLICATE KEYS WHICH IS HIGHLY PROMINENT THESE DAYS. PLEASE GET THE KEY DUPLICATED YOUSELF OF SEND IT WITH THE ONES YOU TRUST THE MOST.
• ALWAYS GET YOUR KEYS DUPLICATED BEFORE YOUR ORIGINAL KEYS LOSE THEIR SHAPE DUE TO OVER- USAGE OR GET WORN OUT IN COURSE OF TIME.
• IN CASE OF VEHICLE KEYS, PLEASE DO PRESENT YOUR LICENCE AND RC COPIES TO THE LOCKSMITH TO PROVE YOUR OWNERSHIP, AND SOMETIMES FOR YOUR OWN VEHICLES' SAFETY.
• IN CASE OF HOUSE KEYS, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE LOST THE ORIGINAL KEY AND ARE UNABLE TO ENTER YOUR HOUSE, PLEASE PRODUCE A LETTER GRANTING PERMISSION TO THE LOCKSMITH TO GET YOUR DOOR OPENED, HOWEVER, IN CASE OF APARTMENTS, A LETTER DUELY SIGNED BY THE SECURITY AUTHORITY OR NEIGHBOURS IS MANDATORY.
