Car Key Duplication — FAQ
Can you duplicate a key that says “Do Not Duplicate”?
In Ohio, “Do Not Duplicate” markings are not legally binding. However, we may ask for proof of vehicle ownership before proceeding as a professional courtesy.
Is a duplicated transponder key as reliable as the original?
Yes. When properly cut and programmed, a duplicate transponder key functions identically to the original and is recognized by your vehicle’s immobilizer.
How much cheaper is duplication compared to replacement?
Duplicating from an existing working key is typically 20–40% less expensive than creating a key from scratch because the process is simpler and faster.
