Mobile Key Cutting & Duplication in Umhlanga

Standard Key Cutting on the Spot

Whether you need a spare house key, a duplicate for a family member, or replacement keys for a gate or padlock, our mobile workshop handles it all. We carry a comprehensive stock of blank keys for standard pin-tumbler locks, lever locks, and most padlock brands commonly used in South African homes and estates. Our precision key cutting machines produce accurate duplicates that work smoothly from the first try. Standard brass and nickel silver keys start from just R50, and we can cut multiple copies on the spot while you wait. We travel to homes, offices, and estates across Umhlanga Rocks, La Lucia, Durban North, and surrounding areas, so you never need to drive anywhere or wait in a queue.

High-Security Key Duplication

High-security locks use specially profiled key blanks that are not available at general hardware stores. These include dimple keys, restricted profile keys, and patented keyways from brands like Mul-T-Lock, Abloy, and EVVA. Cutting these keys requires specialised equipment and authorisation, as many restricted key systems are designed specifically to prevent unauthorised duplication. As an authorised locksmith, we have the machinery and the registered blank stock to duplicate high-security keys accurately and legally. If you have moved into a new property and need additional high-security keys, or if an employee with a restricted key has left your company, we can cut replacements on-site with full traceability.

Transponder and Car Key Cutting

Modern car keys contain a transponder chip that must be electronically programmed to communicate with your vehicle's immobiliser. Without this programming, a physically identical key will turn in the ignition but the engine will not start. We cut and programme transponder keys for a wide range of vehicle makes and models, often at a fraction of the dealership price. Our mobile service means we come to your location in Umhlanga, cut the key blade on the spot, and programme the transponder chip to your vehicle's system. We also duplicate remote-head keys (the type with buttons built into the key head) and can programme replacement remotes for many popular vehicles.

Our Test-Before-You-Pay Guarantee

Every key we cut is tested in the actual lock or vehicle before we ask for payment. If the key does not work perfectly, you do not pay. This guarantee applies to every type of key we cut, from a simple R50 brass house key to a complex transponder car key. We believe that a key is only as good as its performance in the lock it was made for, and we stand behind every cut. This approach has earned us the trust of homeowners, property managers, and vehicle owners across Umhlanga and the greater Durban North area. There are no call-out fees for key cutting jobs within our standard service area, and you will always know the price upfront before we begin.
