Key Cutting in Hamilton

• Car key cutting — basic metal keys, transponder keys, and smart/proximity keys, cut and programmed to match your vehicle. If you need a key cut for a car rather than a house, this is the one you want
• Spare keys — a second key cut while your original is still working, so you're never caught out later
• Duplicate keys — exact copies made on the spot, no need to leave your key behind or wait days for a copy

Unlike a hardware store kiosk cut, every key we cut for a vehicle is matched and tested against your car — for transponder and smart keys, that includes programming so the key actually starts the engine, not just fits the lock.

• No waiting at a kiosk or store — we come to you, so there's no trip and no queue
• Programmed on the spot — a cut key that isn't programmed to your car's immobiliser won't start it; we handle both in one visit
• Fixed pricing before we start — tell us the vehicle and key type, we quote a firm price, no surprises on arrival
• Same-day service — most key cutting jobs across Hamilton are completed within the hour of booking

Key cutting prices start from $20 for a plain metal key, $120 for a key with an immobiliser chip, and $265 for a smart or proximity key. If every key is lost, that job starts from $450, because the key has to be generated from the vehicle rather than copied.

Those are starting points rather than flat rates — a basic metal key cut is the simplest and cheapest option, while transponder and smart keys cost more due to the programming involved, and the make, model and year all move the number. We always confirm the price before starting once we know your vehicle's make, model, and key type.

Mobile service means location isn't a barrier — home, work, a carpark, wherever you are in Hamilton, Cambridge, or the wider Waikato region. We run key cutting in Waikato towns as routinely as in the city, from Te Awamutu and Morrinsville through to Huntly, Ngaruawahia, Matamata and Raglan.
