Why Evanston Chooses Us
On-Site Service
Mobile service means the locksmith can cut keys at your Evanston location.
Tested Copies
Every copy is checked so it turns smoothly the first time.
High-Security Keys
Restricted and high-security keys most hardware-store kiosks can't copy.
Car Key Duplication
Spare car keys — including transponder and chip keys — cut and programmed.
Why Not Just Use a Kiosk?
Hardware-store machines handle basic keys, but they often produce slightly-off copies and can't touch transponder, high-security, or restricted keys. A Evanston locksmith cuts to spec and can duplicate the keys those kiosks reject.
Keys We Cut & Duplicate
In Evanston the common requests are house and apartment keys, office and commercial keys, mailbox and padlock keys, and car keys (including chip/transponder keys and remote fobs). If it opens a lock, it can usually be copied.
When to Make a Spare
The best time to copy a key is before you lose it. New home, new tenant, new employee, or simply a backup left with someone you trust — a spare in hand saves an expensive lockout call later.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a key copy cost in Evanston?▾
Basic house keys are inexpensive; transponder and high-security keys cost more because of the blank and programming. You'll get the price before any cutting.
Can high-security or "do not duplicate" keys be copied?▾
Often yes, with the right authorization. Local locksmiths can cut many restricted and high-security keys that hardware-store kiosks cannot.
Can you make a key with no original?▾
Yes. A locksmith can often cut a working key from the lock itself or by code, even if you have no original to copy.
Will the copy work as well as the original?▾
A properly cut and tested duplicate works just like the original. Worn originals are best copied before they start to fail.
Can you copy a car key in Evanston?▾
Yes — including transponder and chip keys. A locksmith can cut and program most car keys and fobs, usually for less than the dealership.
