Car key cutting
Get a spare while you still have a working key — it is the cheapest car key you will ever buy.
Key cutting for vehicles is not the same as cutting a house key. Many modern car keys are laser-cut, with a milled track down the centre of the blade rather than teeth along the edge, and they need the right machine and the right blank.
What we cut
- Standard and laser-cut vehicle keys
- Remote and flip keys
- Keys with integrated transponder chips
- Replacement key shells where the electronics still work
Broken key shells
If the fob has cracked but the electronics are fine, replacing the shell is far cheaper than a whole new key.
Car key cutting — common questions
Does a cut key need programming too?
For anything with an immobiliser — which is nearly every car built this century — yes. Cutting alone will open the door but not start the engine.
