Precision Key Cutting

A car key blade is a precision instrument. If it is cut poorly—even by a fraction of a millimetre—it can feel “sticky” in the lock, struggle to turn, or eventually damage the delicate wafers inside your ignition barrel.

At KeyTune365, we move beyond the old-fashioned method of manual tracing. Our mobile workshops are equipped with state-of-the-art, computer-controlled (CNC) cutting machines. This ensures that every key we produce is cut to the exact depth and spacing specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

“Cutting to Code” vs. Copying

The problem with copying an old car key at a high street shop is that you are often copying a worn-out blade. If your current key is worn, the copy will be worn too.

We take a different approach. Using our advanced software, we can often “cut to code.” This means we tell our machine the specific key code for your vehicle, and it cuts a brand-new blade that matches the original factory specification, not the worn shape of your old key. The result is a key that works as smoothly as the day the car left the showroom.

We Can Cut Keys Even If…

• The Original is Broken: If your key blade has snapped in half, we can often decode the two pieces to cut a continuous, brand-new blade.
• The Original is Worn: If you have to jiggle your key to get it to turn, it is likely worn down. We can calculate the original depths to cut a fresh key that fixes the issue.
• You Have No Keys: By using specialist picks to read the depths of your door lock, we can generate a cutting code to produce a working key from scratch, without needing an original to copy.
