When it comes to the advantages of using a key duplicator, there are many reasons to get the services of a professional duplicator. Key duplication is all about more than simply making duplicate copies of keys by simply taking an ink imprint from a key and applying it to another key.
There are a variety of other advantages to getting a key duplicating service. For example, what if you suddenly lose your original key and require somebody to make replacements for you? Making keys from scratch would originate from scratched keys or create new keys which no longer match your present lock or make a completely new key for your home.
Another benefit of make car keys services is that you will have double security services. It’s very easy to lose house keys, but also easy to lose personal ones as well. A professional key duplication service can double up as alarm clocks, garage door openers, pagers and just about any other security services available.
By doing this, the technicians who provide your service are protecting your house, personal belongings and even your vehicle. The bottom line is that, when you use a reputable service provider, you are protecting yourself, your family and your vehicle from intruders or at least your chances of having intruders try to get in.
So, how exactly does a key duplication service work? There are two parts to a duplicating machine. The first part is called the a-1 key cutter. This is the machine that cuts the keys into the exact number you need, without forgetting any numbers. The second part is called the key molding machine. This is a special device which makes each key into the exact key number, using either an embossed, laser engraved or digital key impression.
You might wonder why a-1 machines are more expensive than plain cutting machines. The reason is because, in addition to the keys, there are other things the cutting machine will have to cut; these things include the tail of the deadbolt and the case of the lock. With plain cutting machines, there is only one cut – the key, so it has to get the tail out and the case in order to make keys for other purposes. Also, with a-1 machines, when you cut the lock, it is possible to make keys that are keyed differentially – meaning they can only be opened with specific keys.
Another service provided by a-1 key duplication service is to create master-keys, which are simply put, not copied, to a duplicate machine or station. For instance, you might want to have two sets of house keys for your car. The problem is that you cannot keep both sets at once on the same station. With a master-key, you can keep a pair on one station and another pair on another station; keeping a spare key somewhere else in the house would defeat the purpose of having two sets of house keys.
