Spare keys for homes, businesses and vehicles
Key Duplication in Portland, Oregon
Need an extra key before your only copy is lost? Northwest Security & Lock helps with compatible home, business and vehicle keys from our shop at 14750 SE Division St in Portland.
Key cutting and electronic programming are different services.
A conventional key must match the lock's keyway and cut pattern. A transponder key or smart fob may also need to be registered to a vehicle. The right process depends on what the key operates, its condition and whether a working copy is available.
Home and business spare keys
Bring the key you use successfully in the lock. A bent, cracked or heavily worn key may not be a reliable pattern to copy. Tell us if the lock sticks or needs the key to be jiggled so the underlying issue can be considered.
If your concern is that someone else still has a key, duplication will not remove their access. Ask about lock rekeying or commercial key systems instead.
Spare vehicle keys
Tell us the year, make and model, whether the vehicle has a keyed ignition or push-to-start, and how many working keys remain. Compatibility and programming requirements must be confirmed before service.
See car key programming for electronic keys and key fob replacement and pairing. If no working key remains, start with lost car key replacement.

Key duplication questions
Can you duplicate a key without the original?
A duplicate is normally made from an existing key. If all keys are lost, ask about replacement rather than duplication. Vehicle details or lock information and proof of authorization may be needed.
Does a copied car key need programming?
Many transponder and smart keys need electronic programming as well as cutting. Call with the year, make and model and tell us whether a working key remains.
Can every house or business key be copied?
Compatibility depends on the keyway, available blank and any restrictions. Restricted or controlled key systems may require authorization. Bring the original and call ahead if you are unsure.
What should I bring to the shop?
Bring the working key and information about the lock or vehicle. For vehicle or restricted-key work, ask what identification and proof of authorization are required before visiting.
Check your key before making the trip.
Call with the key type, vehicle details if relevant, and whether a working key remains.
