High Security Auto Keys...



We are currently reconsidering our decision to not make car keys. Having seen the demonstration of the above 3D Pro duplicator/originator key cutting machine, we are almost convinced that, with this top of the range machine, we will be able to compete effectively in the market place.

The 3D Pro is the culmination of significant research and development by some rather talented locksmiths. They set out to create a machine designed to duplicate/originate most of the current crop of keys in the market.

As the above video shows, the required steps and equipment, has been made much simpler.

It is certainly a heavy investment, however we believe that with this machine, we will be able to offer our customers competitive priced alternatives to other key makers.

NOTE: This is only one step in the process of making high security auto keys. There is also the requirement for additional transponder programming equipment, to enable the correct key (after being made) to be programmed to the specific vehicle.

The 3D Pro has been especially designed to handle not only car keys, but also common house keys too. The prime difference between this machine and other machines on the market, is in it's ability to correctly determine the factory specifications of even a worn key, then re-create the key to the original factory specifications. You are then presented with a new original key, instead of a duplicate.

Our decision to invest in this machinery is not ratified just yet, because we are also determining the most appropriate transponder programming equipment we will need to be able to offer a wide range of auto key manufacturing requests.

The decision to enter the automotive key manufacturing market is not an easy one. The requirement to invest significantly in inventory (to the tune of about $50,000.00 per year), means a huge investment for a small business like ours.

My training as a locksmith involved many years of "cutting my teeth" in automotive lock repairs. Many of my first 20 years in this business, were spent developing the auto locksmithing skills. I am looking forward to offering these services in the near future.
