KEY CUTTING
BRISTOL

Need a spare set for the family, a replacement for a worn key, or a high-security key you can't get on the high street? City Locksmiths cut keys accurately and fast across Bristol. From standard house keys to keys cut to code for restricted and security systems, we get it right first time so your new key actually turns. No call-out fee, and a 24-month guarantee.

Keys cut properly, so they turn first time

There is nothing more frustrating than a spare key that catches, sticks or won't turn at all. It usually comes down to a worn machine or a rushed cut. City Locksmiths cut keys precisely and check them against the lock or original where we can, so the key you walk away with actually works. Nick has been cutting keys as part of his locksmith work across Bristol since July 2009, so you get a proper job rather than a quick copy that lets you down a week later.

Whether it is one spare or a full set for a growing family, a new lodger or a holiday let, we turn keys around quickly and at a fair price.

Keys we cut

House & door keys

Standard front and back door keys copied accurately from your original.

Spare sets

Extra keys for partners, children, lodgers or a trusted neighbour.

Keys cut to code

High-security and restricted keys cut from the code when a copy isn't allowed.

Worn key replacements

A fresh key cut before your only original wears out and stops working.

If your original key is already damaged or lost, we can still help. In many cases we can cut a working key from the lock or the key code, or change the lock and give you a new set. See our lock change page for that.

High-security and restricted keys

Some modern locks use restricted or patented keys that ordinary shops and supermarket kiosks simply cannot copy. These are cut to code against proof that you are entitled to a copy, which keeps your security intact. As a proper locksmith we can handle these correctly, so if a key is stamped "do not duplicate" or your usual key shop has turned you away, we are the people to call.

Serving Bristol and beyond

We cut keys for customers right across Bristol, from Clifton and Redland to Bishopston, Brislington and out to Keynsham and Yate. Cutting car keys is a slightly different job that needs programming as well as cutting, so if it's a vehicle key you're after, head to our auto and car key locksmith page. For anything else, give Nick a call and he'll sort your spares.

KEY CUTTING FAQs

How quickly can you cut my keys?

Standard house keys are usually cut on the spot in a few minutes. Keys cut to code or restricted keys can take a little longer as we verify the code, but we always aim for the fastest sensible turnaround.

Why won't a supermarket copy my key?

Some keys are restricted or patented for security, so only an authorised locksmith can copy them, and usually only to code with proof of entitlement. We're set up to cut these properly where a kiosk can't.

Can you cut a key if mine is worn or broken?

Often yes. A worn key can sometimes be copied, but a fresh cut to code is usually more reliable. If the key is badly damaged or lost, we can frequently cut one from the lock or code instead.

Do you cut car keys too?

We do, but car keys usually need programming as well as cutting, so that's covered on our auto and car key locksmith page. Tell us the make and model and we'll point you the right way.

Will the new key definitely work?

That's the whole point of using a locksmith rather than a rushed copy. We cut accurately and check the key turns, and the work is backed by our 24-month guarantee, so you're not left with a key that catches.
