Can a Locksmith Make a Car or House Key From Scratch?

If you've lost every copy of a key, a locksmith in Matthews, NC can still make a new one. For house keys, the locksmith disassembles the lock or impressions the cylinder and cuts a new blank to match.

For car keys in Matthews, NC, the locksmith uses your VIN (and ID/registration) to look up the cut, then programs the transponder chip to your vehicle on-site.

This service usually takes 30–60 minutes once the locksmith arrives at your driveway in Matthews, NC — much faster than towing the car to a dealership.
