Description

If you bring your own car key into a Key Cutter, some will refuse, and some will happily offer the service but will offer no guarantees.

Many car key shells on Ebay etc are made of cheap material which is prone to breakages.  The metal in these blades are often very hard which can damage the very expensive key cutting machinery.

Many of these keys are manufactured incorrectly in China and the dimensions are slightly off.  This means they could seize or break in the ignition.  With customers then blaming the person that cut the key instead of the sub standard product, it’s easy to see why many decline to offer this service.

If may be worth contacting the business before you bring your own key in to know for sure.

It is unlikely that a mobile auto locksmith will offer this service.

Avocet ABS Key Cutting Prices

Key Cutting
Avocet ABS  keys are a High Security key for the ABS 3 Star Cylinder.  These keys can only be cut through an ABS Elite Centre. Usually ABS keys are cut on genuine ABS key blanks using state-of-the art machines to ensure a perfect fit every time.  To become an elite centre, companies need to stock the cylinders so a certain investment is needed by the stockist.  Bearing this in mind it is unlikely you will be able to get these cut in smaller shoe repairers or hardware stores.  This also reflects the higher prices charged for these keys. It's more likely that key cutting locksmiths or dedicated key cutting shops may be able to help.  If you have lost your card, a skilled key cutter should be able to help as long as you can show identification.  You can find your local authorised ABS Key Centre Here.
