Key Cutting

We offer both regular and high-security key duplication. We employ a key-cutting machine to duplicate standard keys. The machine can duplicate mortise keys or keys made of cylinders. The key is put in a vise, and then cut by a knife, then the new key is deburred--scrubbed with a wire brush built in the machine or manually in a bench grinder to remove any burrs that may be sharp and harm the lock.

You will require a machine specifically designed to cut high-security keys. The machine is more expensive however, it's also very precise. It is a good idea to bring the original key when cutting these keys due to the fact that variations in the form of the key could render it useless.

We employ Framon two manual origin machines, which are known to be the most reliable and stable in the market. Some customers have even shared stories of them falling off their work benches to the floor, and functioning perfectly. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponder systems, it will require a key that has been programmed to it. The transponder chip in each car is unique. If a different key was used the computer on board will not recognize the serial numbers and the engine wouldn't start.

Normally when a car's key is lost the owner will go to their local car dealer to get a new one and then program it to the vehicle. This could take anywhere from two and five working days, and the original key will be required.
