How Much Does Key Duplication Cost?

Updated October 16, 2026 · 5 min read

Key duplication cost at Wichita 24 Hour Locksmith is confirmed before work begins; we don’t list a set price for key duplication. Tell us what kind of key you need copied, and we’ll give you the price before we start.

What Is the Key Duplication Cost in Wichita?

We don’t publish a set price for key duplication. The specific cost is confirmed with you before any work starts, so you can hear the price and decide how you want to proceed. Call us with the details of the key you need copied, and we’ll explain the price for your request.

A useful first step is to explain whether you have a working key to copy or need help because the original is missing. Those are different requests: copying a key is not the same as replacing a lost car key. If you need a copy, ask about our key duplication service; if the original is lost, tell us that when you call so we can discuss the right service.

What Should You Tell the Locksmith Before Getting a Quote?

A clear description helps us understand what you’re asking for before we give you a price. Tell us what the key is for, whether you have the original, and how many copies you need. If it’s a car key or fob, share the vehicle’s year and model when you call; we confirm the exact year and model by phone.

You can also explain whether you need a physical key, a programmed key fob, or both. We make and program car keys and key fobs for most makes, including Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Dodge, Jeep, Hyundai, Kia, and GMC. The exact year and model matter when we discuss your vehicle’s needs.

1. Describe the key — Say whether it’s for a home, business, car, or another use.
2. Explain what you have — Let us know whether the original key is available or lost.
3. Share vehicle details — For car keys and fobs, provide the year and model so we can confirm the request by phone.

Is Key Duplication the Same as Replacing a Lost Key?

No. Key duplication means making a copy of a key you can provide. Lost car keys are a separate service, and a replacement may involve making and programming a car key or fob. Be direct about whether you have a key in hand; that helps us discuss the service you actually need instead of treating every request as a simple copy.

If your key is lost, tell us the vehicle’s year and model when you call. We make and program keys and fobs for most makes, and we confirm the exact year and model by phone. If you’re unsure what kind of key you have, describe it as best you can and explain what happened.

How Much Does It Cost for a Locksmith to Handle Other Common Jobs?

A locksmith’s price depends on the service you’re requesting. These are the starting prices we list for several other services; they are not key duplication prices.

What Should You Confirm Before Asking Us to Make a Copy?

Before arranging the service, make sure you and the locksmith are discussing the same task.

These details help us talk through the correct request and its price.
