How On-Site Key Cutting Works


Here's what to expect when you call for a spare or replacement car key, cut and verified at your location.

1. Customer calls or texts with vehicle year, make, model, and current location.

2. Technician confirms the key type needed and dispatches to the customer's location.

3. Technician arrives in the branded mobile service van equipped with key-cutting tools.

4. Original or remaining key (if available) is measured and matched; VIN or vehicle data used when no key is present.

5. New key is cut on-site to the vehicle's specifications.

6. Customer verifies the key works in the door and ignition before the technician leaves.

Once the technician arrives, cutting and testing a standard spare key typically takes well under an hour for most vehicles — response time to reach your location is separate and depends on current location and schedule.

Serving Florence AL and the Shoals Area, including Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, and Sheffield, as well as Lawrenceburg TN and Loretto TN.

What Affects the Cost of a Spare Key


Exact pricing for key cutting and duplication depends on your vehicle, so the most accurate number comes from a quick call or text with your year, make, and model.

Cost typically depends on a few factors: whether your key is a simple mechanical blade or includes an electronic chip, the specific make and model of your vehicle, and whether a key is available to copy or the locksmith needs to cut from the lock or VIN data alone. Affordable Lock Service accepts major credit cards on-site and will always confirm pricing with you before any work begins.

Key Cutting and Duplication: Common Questions


Can you cut a spare key at my home or workplace?

Yes — that is exactly how the service works. The technician comes to wherever you and your vehicle are located across the Shoals area, including Florence, Muscle Shoals, Tuscumbia, Sheffield, and surrounding communities, as well as Lawrenceburg and Loretto TN. There is no shop to visit.


Can you make a key if I have lost every copy?

In many cases, yes. A skilled automotive locksmith can often cut a replacement key using the vehicle identification number or by decoding the lock itself, even when no working key remains. Call or text with your vehicle's year, make, and model so the technician can confirm what is possible for your specific vehicle.


Is a duplicated key the same quality as a dealer key?

A key cut by an experienced automotive locksmith is precision-matched to your vehicle's lock specifications. For keys that also require programming — such as transponder or chip keys — that programming step is handled separately; ask when you call if your vehicle requires it.


What does it cost to have a spare key cut?

Pricing depends on the vehicle and key type, so the best step is to call or text with your year, make, and model for an accurate quote. Affordable Lock Service accepts major credit cards on-site.
