If you lose your keys, it can be a major hassle. Fortunately, Ace Hardware offers hassle-free key cutting services that can help you get back on the right track.


We offer regular and high-security key duplicate. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate standard keys. The machine can duplicate mortise keys and cylinder keys. The key is clamped in the vise, and then cut with a blade. The new key is then deburred, then rubbed down using a wirebrush built into the machine, or manually on an industrial bench grinder - to remove any burrs which could be sharp and cause damage to the lock.

When you're dealing with keys that are high-security you will require a special machine that is designed to cut these types of keys. The machine is more expensive but it is also extremely accurate. Bring the original key with you when you get the keys cut. Differences in shape could cause the key to be useless.

Framon 2 manual originating machine is known as being the most stable and accurate machine in the business. Some have told stories about them falling from their work bench but being in good shape. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has a transponder, you will require a key to be programmed into the system. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car and if a different key is utilized, the computer on board cannot recognize the serial number and will not permit the engine to start.

Normally when a car key is lost, the owner will go to the local dealer to purchase a replacement and have it programmed into the vehicle. It can take between two and five working days and the original key will be required.
