Cedarhurst 24 Hour Auto Key Copy

Licensed Locksmith — over 20 years experience, 2001–2026

Spare car keys cut and programmed at your car. Upfront quotes on the phone and a technician who comes to you.

24 Hour Auto Key Copy in Cedarhurst, NY 11516? One call to (516) 750-0433 gets a mobile automotive locksmith on the way. Car key duplication means making spare keys — cut and programmed — while you still have a working key.

Need a 24 hour lockout service? Ours runs every night of the year. There is no tow and no waiting days for a dealership appointment: we do the work where your car is parked, and you hear the price before we come out. Here is everything worth knowing before you call. Neighbors in Woodmere, Lawrence and Inwood call us for the same work, so a technician is rarely far away.

What 24 Hour Auto Key Copy Involves

Since 2001 we have learned that drivers want three things: a fair price, a realistic arrival time and work that lasts. That is how we approach car key duplication in Cedarhurst.

The technician checks ownership, explains the options and gets to work at your car.

Understanding the Cost

A few things decide the final figure:

  • How many spares you want
  • Whether the key needs programming as well as cutting
  • The type of key being copied (basic, transponder, remote-head or smart key)

Compared with the dealer, most drivers save both money and time — and skip the tow. Having the year, make and model ready helps us quote even faster.

Your Visit, Step by Step

Most calls follow the same simple pattern:

  1. Call (516) 750-0433 with the year, make and model and the type of key you have now.
  2. We quote the spare and an arrival time.
  3. The technician cuts the new key from your working key and programs it.
  4. You test the spare in the doors and the ignition before we leave.

  • Honest advice, even when the fix is simple
  • Real people answer the phone, not a call center

Long Island's Mobile Locksmith

Car Key Locksmith opened in 2001. Today our vans cover Nassau County, much of Suffolk County and Queens, still with the same mobile, upfront approach.

Our technicians are experienced locksmiths, not general handymen. Since 2001 Car Key Locksmith has focused on car keys and locks — and on coming to you.

Know Before We Arrive

  • Don't force a key that won't turn; check that the steering lock isn't engaged first.
  • If a smart key dies, look for a hidden metal blade inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you make a spare key at the same visit?

Yes, and it is the best time to do it — a spare made now costs far less than an emergency replacement later.

I lost my car keys and have no spare. Can you help?

Yes. With your ID and the registration or title, we make a new key from the VIN and program it to the car — no original needed.

How long does it take?

Most key replacements and programming jobs are finished within an hour of arrival. We tell you what to expect when you call.

Do you serve Cedarhurst?

Yes — Cedarhurst, NY 11516 is part of our regular service area, along with the rest of Nassau County.

Are your technicians licensed and insured?

Yes. We are a licensed locksmith in New York State, every technician is insured, and we verify ownership before every job.

Do you have dealer programming tools?

Yes. We use dealer-level software, including Ford FDRS and GM GDS2, to program keys on newer Ford and GM vehicles that generic tools can't reach.

Will a hardware-store copy start my car?

Usually not. Most cars since the late 1990s need a programmed transponder chip, which a plain cut copy doesn't have.
