Genuine Key Cutting Work

Real Key Cutting, Not a Shop Counter

KeyLogik is a mobile auto locksmith, not a high-street key-cutting shop. We bring specialist automotive key-cutting equipment directly to your vehicle, so a correctly cut replacement blade can be produced at your home, workplace or roadside.

The photographs on this page show genuine KeyLogik work — real car key blades being cut on professional equipment and finished blades ready for use. No stock images, no staged shots.

From a simple spare edge-cut key to a milled high-security blade or a hidden emergency blade inside a smart fob, the right cutting method depends on your vehicle's lock design.

Key Types

Different Car Keys Require Different Cutting Methods

Car key blades vary by manufacturer, age and lock design. KeyLogik carries equipment for the common profiles below — support is confirmed for your specific vehicle before any work is booked in.

Traditional Edge-Cut Keys

Conventional key blades with cuts along their edges, found on many older vehicles and some newer models.

High-Security / Laser-Cut Keys

Precision-milled keys with an internal or side track. Often called 'laser cut', these are typically mechanically milled rather than cut with a laser.

Ford Tibbe Keys

Distinctive cylindrical-pattern keys used on certain older Ford vehicles and some Jaguar models, requiring specialist cutting equipment.

Emergency Smart Key Blades

Mechanical emergency blades hidden inside many proximity and keyless-entry fobs, allowing manual vehicle entry when remote functions are unavailable — depending on the vehicle.

Two emergency key blades cut for a 2013 Land Rover Range Rover. These hidden blades live inside the smart key fob and allow manual entry to the vehicle if the remote locking ever fails — a common spare for Range Rover and Land Rover owners who want a backup before the original is lost or damaged.

Damaged, Worn or Missing Keys

Lost, Broken or Worn Car Key?

Worn Car Keys

Copying a badly worn blade can sometimes reproduce the wear. Where the vehicle and available information allow, decoding the original key or lock may provide a better basis for producing a correctly cut replacement.

Snapped or Damaged Keys

A replacement blade may be possible even when the original key is broken. The exact method depends on the condition of the remaining key and the vehicle's lock design. See our Broken Car Keys page for more detail.

All Keys Lost

In many cases a replacement can be produced without an original key. Depending on the vehicle, mechanical decoding and electronic immobiliser programming may be required. See our All Keys Lost page for the full process.

Support depends on the vehicle, lock type and key condition. KeyLogik confirms what is possible for your specific make and model before any work is booked in.

Specialist Equipment

Precision Car Key Cutting Using Specialist Equipment

Accurate car key cutting requires the correct blade profile, precise measurements and suitable specialist equipment. KeyLogik uses professional automotive key-cutting equipment to produce replacement blades for compatible vehicle locks and ignition systems.

  • Accurate key blade cutting to the correct profile
  • Traditional edge-cut and high-security milled profiles
  • Suitable decoding methods where no original key exists
  • Replacement blades for remote and smart keys
  • Mechanical testing in the lock where possible

Does a Cut Car Key Need Programming?

On many modern vehicles, cutting the blade is only part of the job. The key's electronic transponder may also need programming before it can start the engine. KeyLogik can provide cutting and programming together where supported. See our Key Programming page for more detail.

FAQ

Car Key Cutting FAQs

Can you cut a car key without the original?
In many situations, yes. Depending on the vehicle, the correct key information can be determined using professional automotive locksmith methods such as decoding the vehicle's lock. Support depends on the vehicle and lock type, so we confirm compatibility first.
Can you cut a car key at my home or workplace?
Yes. KeyLogik is a mobile auto locksmith and carries professional vehicle key-cutting equipment in the van, so we can cut most compatible car and van key blades on-site at your home, workplace or roadside.
Can you copy a worn car key?
We can, but a heavily worn key is not always the best pattern to copy. Where supported, we can determine the intended cuts and produce a correctly cut replacement rather than simply duplicating the wear.
Can you replace a snapped car key blade?
Often, yes. If you have the snapped pieces we may be able to work from them, or where supported we can produce a replacement blade from the vehicle's lock. See our Broken Car Keys page for more detail.
Can you cut laser-cut car keys?
Yes. So-called 'laser cut' keys are internally milled (sidewinder) keys. KeyLogik carries the specialist milling equipment needed to produce them accurately for supported vehicles.
Can you cut a smart key emergency blade?
Yes. Many smart and proximity fobs contain a hidden emergency key blade. We can cut replacement emergency blades, including high-security laser-track blades used by some manufacturers.
Does a newly cut car key need programming?
On most modern vehicles, yes. Cutting makes the blade operate the mechanical lock, but an immobiliser transponder must also be programmed before the engine will start. Remote locking may require programming too. KeyLogik can cut and programme in the same visit where supported.
How much does car key cutting cost?
Pricing depends on the vehicle make, model, key type and whether programming is required. We don't publish fixed prices because every job differs — send us your registration and requirements on WhatsApp for a clear, upfront quote before any work is booked in.
Can you cut Ford Tibbe keys?
Yes, on supported models and years. Tibbe keys require specialist cutting equipment rather than a standard edge-cut machine. See our Ford Tibbe Key Replacement page for more detail.
What information do you need to provide a quote?
Your vehicle registration, make/model/year if known, whether you currently have a working key, and what you need — a spare, replacement blade, lost key, broken key or emergency blade. A photo of the key helps if you have one.
