Mobile Key Cutting: The Short Answer
Open-in Security Services cuts keys on site at homes, offices and building sites within 25 miles of Ickenham, across West London, Hertfordshire and South Bucks. Kenny, the DBS-checked owner, cuts them from blanks carried in the van and tests each one in the lock before leaving, a service he has offered since 2006. Standard house and padlock keys cost from £6. Restricted and patented keys for Ultion, Mul-T-Lock and similar high-security cylinders, which a high-street kiosk cannot copy, are cut to the correct blank and card from £25 once ownership is confirmed. Keyed-alike and labelled spare sets for rentals cost from £35. Worn keys that stick can be recut cleanly to code or from a good original. Mobile cutting is often combined with a lock change or rekey on the same visit, and every price is fixed on the phone with no call-out fee.

Can keys be cut at my door?
We cut keys where you are (home, office or site) so a spare set does not mean a trip to the shops and a wait. Standard house and padlock keys from £6, cut and tested in the lock before we leave.
Can you cut restricted or patented keys?
Some high-security cylinders (Ultion, Mul-T-Lock and similar) use restricted or patented keys that a normal shop cannot copy without authorisation. We cut these to the correct blank and card, and can add copies to an existing system, from £25.
Keyed-alike and spare sets
Want one key for several doors, or a labelled set for a rental? We can cut keyed-alike sets and spares to match your existing locks, from £35 a set. To make several doors share one key, see lock rekey & replacement.
| Key type | Where it is used | Can a high-street shop copy it? |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | Most homes, padlocks, older cylinders | Yes |
| Dimple | Many uPVC and euro cylinders | Sometimes: needs the right machine |
| Restricted | Ultion, Mul-T-Lock and similar | No: cut to card, on your authority |
| Patented | High-security systems under patent | No: supplier or authorised locksmith only |

FAQ
Mobile Key Cutting: Your Questions
Do you cut keys at my home or in a shop?
At you: home, office or site. Mobile key cutting means no trip out; standard keys are cut and tested on the spot from £6.
Can you copy a restricted or patented key?
Often yes. Restricted keys (Ultion, Mul-T-Lock and similar) need cutting to the right blank and card. We can do this where a high-street shop cannot, from £25.
Can you cut a set of keys that all match?
Yes, a keyed-alike set so one key opens several doors, from £35. Handy for rentals and multi-door homes.
My key is worn and sticking. Can you cut a fresh one?
Yes. We can cut a clean copy to code or from a good original so it turns smoothly again. If the lock itself is worn, we will say so.
