By-code or original duplication; high-security sidewinder keys included.
Premier's truck-mounted laser cutter handles every common Delray Beach key blank: standard double-sided edge cuts, single-sided edge cuts, and laser-track high-security sidewinder keys (Ford 8-cut, Chrysler 8-cut sidewinder, Mercedes HU64, Audi HU66, modern Volkswagen MQB).
Cutting can happen one of two ways: (1) by reading the existing key with our optical scanner and reproducing the bitting exactly, or (2) by code, where we look up the bitting from your VIN against the manufacturer database. Code-cut is necessary when the original key is lost, worn, or non-existent. By-reproduction is faster but requires a working original.
Common Delray Beach call: a long-time resident has an aging key that won't turn the cylinder anymore. The blade has worn down from years of insertion. Premier reads the manufacturer's original bitting from your VIN, cuts a brand-new key to factory spec - and the cylinder turns smoothly again. The fix is the key, not the lock.
Honest, flat-rate pricing quoted before we roll. Service call fee is waived when you book the job.

Driver's 2008 Toyota Camry key had worn enough that it stopped turning the ignition consistently.
Read the original bitting from the worn key (the underlying cuts were still readable), cut a fresh blank, problem solved. Total: $45, no cylinder replacement needed.
