Frequently Asked Questions
Here are our most commonly asked questions by customers. If you don’t find the answer you are looking for, contact our team today!
Can I Copy My Key Fob to My Smartphone?
iPhone & Android devices are not capable of transmitting on the frequency common for most RFID keys. Exclusively at CloneMyKey, we offer Mobile Key. We’ve designed this ultra-thin key to fit between your phone and its case. With interference-blocking technology it’s capable of cutting through the interference common with mobile phones, allowing you to simply tap your phone like your original key.
Continue through the checkout process, and the Mobile Key will be shown as an available option if it is compatible with your key.
Is It Legal to Copy My Key?
We can’t give legal advice, so we recommend reviewing your lease, HOA rules, or building policies before ordering. They may restrict duplication even where the law does not.
In our research, we have never found any laws in the United States that specifically prohibit copying key fobs. We have been in business since 2013 and have duplicated more than a million keys without any legal issues reported by our customers.
There’s a Number Printed on My Key. Can You Use It to Make a Copy?
Often, yes, through our Snap N’ Send service. Many RFID keys and access cards have a printed serial number or other identifying marks that let us duplicate the key without you mailing in the original.
Not every printed number contains enough information on its own, so each submission is reviewed individually before we confirm it can be duplicated.
Getting Started
The easiest way to identify your key is by using our Key Compatibility Wizard.
In less than a minute, the wizard will help determine whether you have an RFID key fob, access card, iButton® key, magnetic key, smart card, or another supported format. It will also tell you whether your key can be copied and which service is available.
If the wizard can’t identify your key, you can upload a photo through our Upload Center and our team will review it, often within one business hour.
Most self-service kiosks are designed to duplicate older, non-encrypted RFID keys. While they work well for many basic credentials, most apartment, condominium, and commercial access systems installed over the past 20 years use encrypted technologies that kiosks simply aren’t designed to copy. If a kiosk couldn’t duplicate your key, it doesn’t necessarily mean your key can’t be copied—it often means your key requires specialized equipment and expertise. CloneMyKey specializes in these more advanced encrypted access credentials, which is why customers often turn to us after a kiosk couldn’t help.
Yes — in most cases. We actually have a large bin full of key fob copying devices that customers have donated after we successfully copied the key their device couldn’t. Most of these are consumer-grade cloners purchased from Amazon.
The problem usually isn’t that your key can’t be copied. It’s that the device you bought wasn’t designed to support your key’s specific technology or doesn’t have the information needed to properly reproduce it.
For newer key fobs, encryption is now one of the biggest reasons consumer cloners fail. But encryption isn’t the only challenge. Even when a key isn’t encrypted, there can be a surprising number of variables that have to be identified and programmed correctly — including frequency, facility code, parity bits, bit length, card serial number, and the way that information needs to be converted.
And there’s another part that many people don’t realize: you usually don’t copy a key onto another blank that looks like the key you already have. We typically need a specialized key blank that is designed to emulate the technology and behavior of your existing key fob. Finding the right blank and properly programming it can be just as important as reading the original key.
Want to know why we can’t always use a visually identical key fob? Our guide explains how OEM fobs, specialized blanks, and memory locking work: Why Your Clone Doesn’t Look Like Your Original Key Fob.
Consumer key fob cloners typically support a limited range of technologies and offer very little control over these variables. We work with a much broader range of key fob technologies and manufacturers and use specialized equipment, software, and key blanks to reproduce keys that consumer devices often can’t.
Our Mail-In Key Copying Service is very often 100% successful, and Snap N’ Send also has a 100% success rate for many keys. We’ll provide the success rate for your specific key before you decide how to proceed.
Want to know your chances before you order?
Send us photos of your key and we’ll identify the technology and provide separate success rates for Snap N’ Send and Mail-In. That way, you can see exactly what your options are before deciding how to proceed.
If we can copy it from photos, you can keep your original key. If we need the original for direct inspection and specialized processing, we’ll let you know that too.
If your key fob copier couldn’t copy it, don’t assume your key can’t be copied. Send us a photo and we’ll take a look.
Yes, we can copy most RFID key fobs and access cards used in apartment buildings, condominiums, offices, gyms, and other secured facilities.
Some key fobs are simple to duplicate, while others require specialized equipment or advanced techniques. A small number use encryption or security features that currently make them impossible to copy.
The fastest way to determine if your key is supported is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard. If your key isn’t listed, submit a photo through our Upload Center and we’ll review it for you.
The fastest way to check compatibility is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard.
The wizard will identify your key type, display the available duplication options, and show the actual success rate for your specific key before you place an order.
If your key isn’t listed or you’re unsure which option to choose, submit a photo through our Upload Center. Our team will review it for you, and most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
CloneMyKey was the first company to offer mail-in RFID key duplication services and has specialized in electronic access key duplication since 2013.
Over 13 years, we’ve developed proprietary hardware, software, and duplication techniques that allow us to duplicate many RFID keys that cannot be copied using off-the-shelf equipment.
Before you place an order, you’ll see the published success rate for your specific key type, along with the exact price and available duplication options. Most supported key types have a 100% success rate, and when they don’t, you’ll know the actual success rate before you purchase.
Most orders ship the same day we receive them, and any key that arrives before noon starts processing that business day. If your key can’t be duplicated, the product price is refunded, and for keys with a published 100% success rate we also refund the shipping fees paid during checkout on domestic orders.
Our goal is simple: provide accurate compatibility information, transparent pricing, and the highest-quality RFID key duplication service available.
Not always.
Snap N’ Send is our primary and most popular service, allowing many supported electronic access keys to be duplicated without mailing in the original. Simply submit photos of your key through our Upload Center, and we’ll review your application to determine whether your key qualifies.
If your key isn’t eligible for Snap N’ Send, our traditional mail-in service supports the widest range of electronic access credentials, including many advanced and encrypted formats.
The fastest way to determine which option is available is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard.
Snap N’ Send is CloneMyKey’s primary and most popular service.
Instead of mailing your original key, simply submit photos of your electronic access key through our Upload Center. If your key qualifies, we’ll duplicate it using the information available from the photos and printed markings.
Most Snap N’ Send applications are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours, making it the fastest and most convenient way to determine whether your key can be duplicated.
If your key isn’t eligible for Snap N’ Send, we’ll let you know and recommend the best alternative, including our traditional mail-in service when necessary.
Not all key duplication services have the same capabilities.
Many companies rely on commercially available cloning equipment designed to duplicate only common credential types. CloneMyKey has spent 13 years developing proprietary hardware, software, and duplication techniques that allow us to duplicate many electronic access keys that cannot be copied using off-the-shelf equipment.
In fact, many of our customers come to us after another service has been unable to duplicate their key.
Before placing your order, you’ll see the published success rate for your specific key, allowing you to make an informed decision before purchasing.
Key Types & Compatibility
CloneMyKey does not duplicate automotive keys or vehicle key fobs.
We specialize in electronic access keys and key fobs used for apartments, condominiums, offices, gyms, parking garages, and other secured facilities.
If you’re looking to duplicate a car key, transponder key, keyless entry remote, or push-to-start key fob, we’ve created a guide explaining your options and where to have them copied.
If you’re not sure whether your key is for a vehicle or a building, use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center, and we’ll identify it for you.
Sometimes, but we generally do not recommend duplicating parking garage credentials.
We can duplicate many RFID key fobs and access cards used for parking garages, provided they operate at short range (typically within 12 inches of the reader). We do not duplicate long-range windshield tags or other active vehicle credentials.
Many parking garages use anti-passback, a security feature that prevents the original and duplicate from being used independently. Because of this, a copied credential may not provide the convenience most customers expect.
If you’re unsure whether your parking credential is a good candidate for duplication, use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center for a free review.
Sometimes. It depends on the types of keys involved.
If both credentials are compatible and use supported RFID technologies, we may be able to combine them onto a single key fob or access card. However, not all key types are compatible, and some encrypted or proprietary formats cannot be merged.
The easiest way to find out is to submit both keys through our Upload Center. We’ll review them and let you know whether combining them is possible before you place an order.
No.
While we duplicate more electronic access key types than any other mail-in service we’re aware of, some keys use security features or encryption that cannot currently be duplicated.
Before placing your order, our Key Compatibility Wizard will show whether your key is supported, the published success rate, and the available duplication options.
Yes, in most cases.
A properly duplicated electronic access key contains the same credential information as the original. In most situations, we can create additional duplicates from an existing clone just as we would from the original key.
If you’re unsure whether your key is an original or a duplicate, don’t worry. Simply use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center, and we’ll determine the best duplication method.
Sometimes. It depends on the type of encryption and the security features used by the key.
CloneMyKey specializes in encrypted RFID key duplication. Many customers come to us after other key duplication services have been unable to copy their key. Using proprietary hardware, software, and duplication techniques developed over 13 years, we’re able to duplicate many encrypted key types that cannot be copied using off-the-shelf equipment.
Some encrypted key types can be duplicated with a 100% success rate, while others cannot currently be copied due to their security design. Before placing your order, you’ll see the published success rate, available duplication options, and exact price for your specific key type.
The fastest way to determine whether your encrypted key is supported is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard. If your key isn’t listed, submit a photo through our Upload Center. Most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
Yes. Apartment key fobs are one of the most common types of electronic access keys we duplicate.
We support hundreds of apartment key fob technologies, including many encrypted formats that other duplication services cannot copy. Before placing your order, you’ll see the published success rate, available duplication options, and exact price for your specific key type.
Start with our Key Compatibility Wizard to see if your apartment key fob is supported.
Yes.
We duplicate many condominium key fobs, access cards, and electronic building credentials used throughout the United States and Canada.
The fastest way to determine compatibility is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard. If your key isn’t listed, submit a photo through our Upload Center for review. Most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
Yes, in many cases.
We duplicate many office access cards used in commercial buildings, business parks, medical offices, and industrial facilities. Compatibility depends on the card technology and security features used by your access control system.
Use our Key Compatibility Wizard to identify your card and view available duplication options.
Yes.
CloneMyKey duplicates both RFID key fobs and RFID access cards. Most supported key types have a published 100% success rate, and you’ll always see the expected success rate and pricing before placing your order.
Start with our Key Compatibility Wizard to determine compatibility.
Cloning and duplicating generally mean the same thing when referring to key fobs. Both describe creating a new credential that works like the original. We use both terms because customers commonly use them interchangeably.
Encryption helps prevent unauthorized duplication.
Many modern electronic access systems use encrypted credentials to make copying more difficult and improve security. The level of protection varies widely between manufacturers.
CloneMyKey specializes in encrypted RFID key duplication and has developed proprietary hardware, software, and duplication techniques capable of duplicating many encrypted formats that cannot be copied using standard equipment.
They use different technologies and are generally not interchangeable.
125 kHz keys are typically older, lower-frequency credentials, while 13.56 MHz keys support a wider range of technologies, including many encrypted formats.
The frequency alone does not determine whether a key can be duplicated. Two keys operating at the same frequency may use completely different security technologies.
The easiest way to identify your key is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard.
Yes, many HID® key fobs can be duplicated.
CloneMyKey supports many HID® credential formats, including several encrypted technologies that cannot be duplicated using standard cloning equipment. Compatibility depends on the specific HID® credential technology and security features used.
The fastest way to determine compatibility is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard. Once your key has been identified, you’ll see the available duplication options, the published success rate, and the exact price before placing your order.
If your HID® credential isn’t listed, submit a photo through our Upload Center. Most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
Disclaimer: CloneMyKey is an independent key duplication service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by HID Global or the original manufacturer. All product names, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification and compatibility purposes.
Yes, many MIFARE® credentials can be duplicated.
CloneMyKey specializes in duplicating many MIFARE® technologies, including numerous encrypted formats that other duplication services cannot copy. However, compatibility varies depending on the specific MIFARE® technology and security features used.
Before placing your order, you’ll see the published success rate, available duplication options, and exact pricing for your specific credential.
If you’re unsure which MIFARE® technology you have, use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center.
Disclaimer: CloneMyKey is an independent key duplication service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by the original manufacturer. All product names, trademarks, and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification and compatibility purposes.
Sometimes. It depends on the type of remote.
Most apartment gate remotes use radio frequency (RF) technology, which is different from the RFID technologies used for building access. CloneMyKey does not duplicate RF transmitters or garage door remote functions.
However, many apartment gate remotes also contain a built-in RFID credential that allows you to unlock pedestrian doors or building entrances by simply tapping the remote against a reader. If your remote can unlock a door without pressing any buttons, we can often duplicate that RFID portion of the credential.
The easiest way to find out is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center. Most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
Our published success rates are based on real-world duplication history—not estimates or marketing claims.
As we duplicate more keys and develop new proprietary techniques, these success rates are updated to reflect our actual performance.
Most supported key types currently have a 100% success rate, and if your key has a lower success rate, you’ll see it before placing your order so you can make an informed decision.

The fastest way to get an exact price is to use our Key Compatibility Wizard. Once your key has been identified, you’ll see the available duplication options, the published success rate for your specific key, and the exact price before placing your order.
Many supported key types also qualify for discounted pricing when ordering additional copies at the same time.
Yes—and we highly recommend it.
Creating a backup while you still have a working key is usually faster, less expensive, and more convenient than replacing a lost credential through your property manager.
Many apartment communities charge $50 to over $250 to replace a lost key fob, while most electronic access key duplications from CloneMyKey start at around $20.
Use our Key Compatibility Wizard to see if your key is supported and view your exact price before placing an order.
Mail-In, Shipping & Guarantees
We built our operation with multiple layers of redundancy so a single failure doesn’t stop us from processing and shipping your keys.
- Backup power: our facility draws electricity from three separate grids — being just feet from the Wisconsin State Capitol was an intentional part of choosing this location — plus on-site backup generation so critical operations continue during an outage.
- Redundant internet & phone: hardline, wireless, and satellite internet, plus backup phone service, so we can keep working and communicating if one connection fails.
- Backup staff & facility: our operations don’t depend on one person or one building. Trained backup staff and an alternate location are ready if needed.
- Redundant equipment, shipping & payment processing: backup capability across production equipment, shipping methods, and payment systems keeps orders moving if one goes down.
Our goal is simple: no single failure should stop your order.
Yes. CloneMyKey operates from a real office and processing facility in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.
Our office is located at:
30 W. Mifflin St., Suite 903Madison, WI 53703
We offer walk-in key duplication services by appointment only. If you’d like to visit us, please schedule an appointment in advance.
If you’d like to verify our location, you can also find us on Google or look up our D‑U‑N‑S® business registration.
We understand your original key may be your only one, so we’ve designed our process to keep it safe.
Since 2013, we’ve successfully processed 1,000,000+ keys. We closely track the delivery performance of every mail-in order, and over 99.5% are delivered without delay.
In the rare event that your key is permanently lost while it’s in our possession, our $265 Key Protection Guarantee helps cover the cost of replacement.
Every mail-in order includes tracking, and you’ll receive automatic email updates when your key arrives at our facility and again when your order ships back to you.
Your privacy is important to us.
Orders are shipped in plain, unbranded packaging with no references to key duplication or CloneMyKey on the outside. The shipping label contains only the information necessary for delivery.
We specifically ship orders via USPS so they can be delivered directly to your locked mailbox, rather than being left in an unsecured package room or at a front desk.
If you have special shipping instructions, please contact us before placing your order.
We recommend placing your key in a small plastic bag or wrapping it securely to prevent scratches or damage during shipping.
Then place it inside a padded envelope or small box with your order information. Avoid taping the key directly to paper or placing loose keys inside an envelope, as they can shift or tear through the packaging during transit.
Once your package arrives, you’ll receive an automatic email confirming that your key has been received.
If we’re unable to duplicate your key, you’ll receive a full refund of the product or service price. For keys with a published 100% success rate, we’ll also refund the shipping fees paid during checkout on domestic orders.
CloneMyKey has developed proprietary hardware, software, and duplication techniques that go far beyond what’s commercially available. Much of the equipment we use was designed and built in-house specifically to duplicate difficult RFID keys.
Before placing an order, you’ll see the published success rate for your specific key type. These are real-world success rates based on our actual duplication experience. Most supported key types have a 100% success rate, and for those that don’t, you’ll know the expected success rate before completing your purchase.
If we’re unable to duplicate your RFID key, it’s typically because the key uses security features or encryption that cannot currently be copied with today’s technology. We’ll explain why the key cannot be duplicated and promptly return your original key.
It hasn’t happened. In 13 years and 1,000,000+ keys, we have never damaged a customer’s original key. Our equipment reads your key without changing it.
Your original is still protected. If it’s ever lost or damaged while in our care, our $265 Key Protection Guarantee covers replacing it.
Yes.
Every duplicate key is tested before it leaves our facility to verify that it functions correctly. If a duplicate does not pass our testing procedures, it will not be shipped.
For key types that support advanced verification, we can confirm the duplicate matches the original electronically before your order is returned.
Contact us as soon as possible.
Problems are uncommon, and our full-time technician, who has over 18 years of experience in the RFID industry, will work with you to find the best solution.
You’re covered:
- Within 90 days: return it for a full refund of the product price. We provide prepaid return labels for domestic returns.
- For 1-year warranty: covers the duplicate. Repair or replacement, at our discretion. We always attempt a repair before issuing a replacement. The entire key must be sent in, at the customer's expense.
You’ll receive an automatic email notification as soon as your package is checked into our system.
You’ll also receive another email when your order has been completed and shipped, including tracking information.
Yes. Every order ships with tracking — once it leaves our facility, we email you the tracking number automatically so you can follow it to your door. When you mail your original key to us, we recommend choosing a tracked shipping method yourself; we don’t provide tracking or a label for that leg since it isn’t shipped through us.
Yes. Every order ships with tracking — once it leaves our facility, we email you the tracking number automatically so you can follow it to your door. When you mail your original key to us, we recommend choosing a tracked shipping method yourself; we don’t provide tracking or a label for that leg since it isn’t shipped through us.
Yes, we ship internationally to many countries.
International shipping is available to destinations approved by our shipping insurance provider. Canada is fully supported, but availability for other countries may vary.
If you’re located outside the United States or Canada, please contact us before placing your order so we can confirm that shipping is available to your country.
Customers are responsible for any applicable customs duties, taxes, import fees, or other charges required by their country.
We regularly ship to customers throughout Canada.
Multiple shipping options are available during checkout, allowing you to choose the delivery speed that best fits your needs. Please note that customs processing times are outside our control and may affect delivery times.
Mobile Key & Phones
Most building access systems use RFID technology that works differently from the NFC technology built into smartphones. And even when the wireless technology is compatible, phones are not designed to let third-party apps directly store and transmit building access credentials through the phone’s built-in hardware.
Mobile Key was engineered to work around these limitations, allowing your smartphone to function as a building access key.
No. The shield is engineered for targeted isolation, blocking internal phone interference from reaching the RFID chip without weakening your cellular, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth signals. At just 0.6 mm thick, it also allows Qi and MagSafe wireless charging to work normally through nonmetallic cases.
Kinda, but there’s a catch.
If you’d like the convenience of using your phone as your key, our Mobile Key is designed for exactly that. This ultra-thin RFID key fits between your phone and its protective case, allowing you to simply hold your phone up to the reader.
We offer three different Mobile Key variants designed to support most of the original keys we copy. Our website will automatically prevent you from ordering an incompatible variant. Continue through the checkout process, and the Mobile Key will be shown as an available option if it is compatible with your key.
So why can’t your phone usually do this on its own? Most apartment and building access systems use RFID technologies that smartphones cannot directly emulate. While many newer phones include 13.56 MHz NFC hardware, access to that hardware is restricted by the phone manufacturer, preventing it from functioning as a replacement for most RFID building keys.
A small number of newer access control systems support official mobile credentials, allowing residents to unlock doors directly with a smartphone. These systems must be specifically supported and enabled by the building.
Security, Privacy & Legal
Laws and lease agreements regarding duplicate keys vary by location and property. Because we cannot provide legal advice, we recommend reviewing your lease, HOA rules, or building policies before ordering.
In our research, we have never found any laws in the United States that specifically prohibit copying key fobs. Outside the United States, where it is legal to copy traditional metal keys, we have also not found any laws that separately prohibit copying key fobs. However, lease agreements, HOA rules, or building policies may impose additional restrictions.
Since 2013, we’ve helped customers duplicate access keys for authorized use without any reported legal issues involving our service.
If you’re unsure whether your key can be copied, start with our Key Compatibility Wizard to see the available options.
Any duplicates made from your original key will also stop working.
A duplicate contains the same credential information as the original. If your property manager or building administrator deactivates or deletes the original key from the access control system, all duplicates created from that key will be deactivated as well.
If you’re replacing a lost or deactivated key, you’ll need a new active credential from your building before another duplicate can be made.
Reprogramming: if your building issues you a new credential, reprogramming your duplicate is free for 30 days after you receive your order, and $9.99 after that.
No.
CloneMyKey does not clone, duplicate, or provide services for credit cards, debit cards, payment cards, or any other financial credentials.
We specialize exclusively in electronic access credentials, including RFID key fobs, access cards, iButton® keys, magnetic keys, and other building access technologies.
In almost all cases, no.
A properly duplicated electronic access key presents the same credential information as the original, so the building’s access control system generally cannot distinguish between the two.
The only time someone may notice is if they physically see you using a key that looks different from the original. If discretion is important, we recommend selecting a duplicate that closely matches your existing key or using one of our Mobile Keys that can be carried behind your phone.
We’ve never encountered an RFID key fob or electronic access credential marked “Do Not Duplicate.”
Unlike traditional metal keys, RFID key fobs, access cards, iButton® keys, magnetic keys, and other electronic access credentials typically do not include wording indicating whether they may be duplicated.
Whether an electronic access key can be duplicated depends on the underlying technology, encryption, and security features—not on any wording printed on the credential.
If you’re unsure whether your key can be duplicated, use our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center.
No. If you’re wondering whether you can duplicate a key without your property manager knowing, CloneMyKey does not notify property managers or building owners when a customer duplicates a key.
However, customers are responsible for ensuring they have the authority to duplicate their credential and for complying with any lease agreements, HOA rules, workplace policies, or applicable laws.
If you have questions about whether you’re authorized to duplicate your key, we recommend reviewing your lease or contacting your property manager before placing an order.
Yes. Our Policies & Key Facts page is where we publish our official policies and company numbers in one place: warranty, returns (90-day money-back), refunds if we can’t copy your key, pricing, processing times, shipping, original-key protection, reprogramming, and company facts like our founding year (2013) and how many keys we’ve duplicated. The numbers on that page come from the same source as the rest of our site, so they always match.
Business & Property Managers
Yes. We offer volume discounts for apartment communities, property managers, businesses, schools, government agencies, and other organizations with larger duplication needs.
Whether you need a small batch or hundreds of duplicate keys, we’ll work with you to provide competitive pricing based on the quantity and type of keys being duplicated.
Contact us for a custom quote, and we’ll typically respond within one business day.
Yes. We partner with select retail businesses that want to offer electronic access key duplication services to their customers.
Our partner program is designed for locksmiths, hardware stores, security companies, property management suppliers, and other businesses looking to expand their services without developing their own RFID duplication technology.
We’ll work with you to determine the best solution based on your business, expected order volume, and the types of electronic access keys your customers use.
Contact us to discuss partnership opportunities and learn whether your business is a good fit for the CloneMyKey Partner Program.
Yes.
CloneMyKey provides consulting services for property managers, apartment owners, condominium associations, developers, security professionals, and government agencies seeking guidance on electronic access control systems.
We can help with building security assessments, credential technology, access control system selection and upgrades, and key management and resident access policies.
Through our parent company, Badger Access Control, Inc., we’ve provided consulting and technical assistance to organizations throughout the United States and Canada. Our recommendations are practical, experience-based, and tailored to your specific needs.
Contact us to discuss your project or schedule a consultation.
Yes. This is one of the most common situations we help with.
If you’ve recently purchased an apartment building, condominium, or other multi-unit property and were only provided with a limited number of key fobs, we can often duplicate additional authorized keys for your staff, maintenance personnel, leasing office, or other approved users.
We specialize in duplicating many electronic access credentials—including encrypted formats—and can often help even if other duplication services have been unsuccessful.
If you’re unsure what type of keys your property uses, start with our Key Compatibility Wizard or submit a photo through our Upload Center. Most submissions are reviewed within one hour during normal business hours.
If your property requires a larger quantity of keys or you’re evaluating a long-term access control strategy, contact us to discuss your project.
The good news is that protecting your property is usually straightforward.
The most effective way to prevent former tenants from using original or duplicated keys is to deactivate their credential within your access control system when they move out. Once a credential has been deactivated, both the original key and any duplicates created from it will immediately stop working.
Contrary to popular belief, cloned keys do not create a permanent security risk when a property is managed correctly. The security of an electronic access system depends far more on proper credential management than on whether a duplicate key exists.
If you’re evaluating the security of your property’s access control system or considering an upgrade, contact us. Through our parent company, Badger Access Control, we provide consulting services for property owners, property managers, HOAs, and government agencies throughout the United States and Canada.
