Making a lost cipher key

You have lost a key, but you do not want to replace the cylinder or the locking system. Our service for making a lost code key is a fast and reliable way to restore your access without breaking the door and without compromising security. We work with a code from a code card, a marking on the cylinder or decoding the mechanism, always complying with legal requirements and property checks.

What is code key making

When is it suitable

Code key making is the ideal solution when there is no duplicate available, when the key is lost and there is no damage to the locking system, as well as when you want to quickly restore access without changing the cylinder. The service is suitable for front doors, interior doors, mailboxes, safes and some car key models with or without a chip.

How the process works

We work according to the factory code of the key or the mechanism code. If you have a code card, the production is based on this code. If there is no card, we decode the mechanism with professional tools, determine the profile and combination of the key, then cut a new key according to factory parameters. For car keys, if necessary, we also perform immobilizer programming.

Our step-by-step process

1. Proofing - we require a property or vehicle document and an identity document.
2. System identification - we establish the make, model and profile of the key or cartridge.
3. Decoding - working with a code card, marking or precise decoding of the cylinder.
4. Code cutting - computer control and calibrated machines for precise cutting according to the code.
5. Test and adjustment - checking for smooth unlocking and locking, fine adjustment if necessary.
6. Programming - for keys with a chip or remote control for cars.

If additional locksmith services such as changing a cylinder, increasing security or installing an additional lock, we can perform them in the same visit.

Types of keys and locking systems

• Standard cylinder cartridges - single-row and double-row profiles, Euro cylinders, high compatibility.
• Cartridges with increased security - security pins, magnetic elements, a code card or specialized decoding is required.
• Safe and cash register keys - deep groove and specific profiles, made by code or matrix.
• Car keys - mechanical profile HU, VA, SX and others, with the option of programming a transponder and remotely.

In the absence of a code card, we perform controlled decoding. This is a non-destructive method that preserves the mechanism and guarantees the accuracy of the workmanship. For complex systems or cylinders with limited access, we recommend an on-site consultation and a higher security replacement option as part of our professional locksmith services.

Prices, time and guarantees

The price for making a combination key depends on the type of cartridge, the availability of a code card and the complexity of the decoding. Standard cylinders are made faster and more cost-effective. High-security cartridges and car keys with a chip require additional time and programming. We give an approximate offer by phone after brief questions and confirm the final price after on-site diagnostics.

Response time is a priority. In emergency situations, we offer a visit as soon as possible according to the schedule and location. All manufactured keys are tested on site with a written guarantee of workmanship.

Order and visit to the address

We work at the address and in the service. For a visit, prepare an identity document and proof of ownership or use. Describe the make and model of the cylinder or take a photo of the faceplate and markings. This speeds up decoding and reduces the time on site.

Making a lost key by code is the fastest and cleanest approach to restoring access when the key is missing and the mechanism is working. You save on changing the cylinder, maintain security and get factory accuracy of the new key. Contact us for a consultation and a quote according to your case.
