Common Key Duplication Issues in Merritt Island

\n\n

Living on an island, especially one with our unique climate and proximity to water, can present some specific challenges for your keys. At BH Locksmith, we’ve seen it all and have the solutions:

\n\n

Corrosion from Salt Air

\n

The constant exposure to salty air here in Merritt Island can cause metal keys to corrode over time. This can lead to keys becoming difficult to insert into locks or even breaking off inside. If you notice your keys showing signs of rust or wear, it’s a good time to get duplicates made before they become unusable. We can often clean up slightly corroded keys before duplicating, or create new ones from less affected originals.

\n\n

Wear and Tear from Frequent Use

\n

Whether you’re frequently heading out to explore the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge or just making daily trips, your keys get a lot of use. Over time, the edges of your keys can become worn, making them less effective at turning lock cylinders. Duplicating a worn key onto a new blank can restore its functionality and prevent you from getting locked out.

\n\n

Humidity and Expansion

\n

While less common, extreme humidity can sometimes affect the materials of older locks or even the keys themselves, leading to a snugger fit that can make operation difficult. Having a perfectly cut duplicate can ensure smooth operation even in our humid Florida climate.

\n\n

Lost Keys After Outdoor Activities

\n

Merritt Island is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. From kayaking on the Indian River Lagoon to enjoying a day at Manatee Hammock Campground, it’s easy to misplace a key. Having spare keys readily available, perhaps one kept at home and another with a trusted neighbor in neighborhoods like Port St. John or Palm Bay Colony, can be a lifesaver. We can quickly create those essential spares for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

\n\n

How long does it take to duplicate a key?

\n

For most standard keys, our duplication process is very quick. Typically, you can expect your new key to be ready in just a few minutes, allowing you to get on with your day without significant interruption.

\n\n

Can you duplicate a key if I’ve lost the original?

\n

Unfortunately, we cannot duplicate a key if you have lost the original. Our process requires an existing key to scan and replicate. If you’ve lost all copies of a key, you will need to have the lock rekeyed by a locksmith.

\n\n

What types of keys can you duplicate?

\n

We can duplicate a wide range of common keys, including house keys, padlock keys, mailbox keys, and many basic commercial and automotive keys. We recommend bringing your key in so we can assess its type and ensure we can provide an accurate duplicate.

\n\n

What should I do if my duplicated key doesn’t work?

\n

While we use precision equipment, occasionally a duplicated key might not work perfectly. This can be due to wear on the original key or the lock itself. Please bring the duplicated key and the original back to us, and we’ll gladly re-examine it and make any necessary adjustments or create a new duplicate at no extra charge.

\n\n

Is it cheaper to duplicate a key or rekey a lock?

\n

Duplicating a key is significantly cheaper than rekeying a lock. Rekeying involves changing the internal pins of the lock cylinder to accept a new key, which is a more involved service. Key duplication is a straightforward copying process.

\n\n
