House Keys and Spare Key Cutting in Wigan
Your door key will give our engineer a clue as to the type of door you have, as a night latch key is commonly used on a timber front door (for example, many of the terrace houses in Whelley or Scholes have a night latch fitted) whereas a euro cylinder key is commonly used on a uPVC door (these are often found on newer housing estates – such as in Platt Bridge).
It’s always a good idea to have a couple of house keys cut so you always have a backup in case of wear and tear or losing your original key. If you already have a couple of house keys, it’s worth getting a couple of spares cut too, just in case!
We can come out to you at a time that suits you, wherever you are in Wigan, from Wigan Town Centre to Standish. Alternatively, if you need a new house or spare key cutting urgently, you can call us any time of the day or evening.
Our key cutting engineers visit properties all over Wigan to cut house keys and spare keys for you, meaning that your key doesn’t have to leave the property. Before your engineer visits, we’ll let you know their name and they’ll also carry photo ID for your reassurance.
Types of Keys We Can Cut
Most Wigan homes and small businesses use Euro cylinder keys, commonly seen on uPVC and composite doors and often used in newer Wigan estates such as those found in Worsley Mesnes and Platt Bridge.
Keys for rim night latches can also be cut, these are commonly found on timber front doors in older properties such as those in Victorian and Edwardian terraces in areas such as Scholes and Whelley.
We also cut keys for mortice locks (including BS3621 locks), again often found on timber front doors, particularly those in older properties in areas such as central Wigan and Ince-in-Makerfield.
Other common domestic keys we can cut include:
- Patio and French door keys, for the locks on patio and French doors, in homes across Wigan.
- Garage, gate and padlock keys, for garages, side gates and sheds, at homes and small units.
- uPVC window lock keys for uPVC window locks in homes across Wigan.
- Cabinet and locker keys, for lockers and cabinets in offices, workshops and shared buildings, including business premises around areas such as Wigan Town Centre and Robin Park.
Keys without any brand markings can be a little more challenging as we first need to identify what blank is required to cut them, and in some cases if the key has an unusual profile and a blank can’t be sourced it won’t be possible for us to cut a new key. Where this may be an issue we’ll always let you know before we set off to your property.
Accurate Key Cutting and Fit Checks
We test all keys cut in front of the customer and ensure they can be checked in the lock before we leave. If it’s not right, we make it right. If the key is worn we pay special attention to this before cutting the copy.
A key cutting visit works like this:
- Examine your original key and identify the key and blank required.
- Let you know if it is possible to make a copy and advise on the cost.
- Cut the key at your address.
- Test the key in the lock, and we want you to test it too!
- Cut any additional copies required.
Lost, Worn and Unusual Keys
Sometimes a key can be copied from the lock, but it depends on the lock; as if all your keys are lost we can't make a copy. In some circumstances the lock may need replacing. Call us if you need help with a lockout or lock change. We offer residential locksmith services and will tell you what it will cost before we do any work.
A key with no brand name can still be copied. We determine the profile and try to find a matching blank. If there is no suitable blank we will tell you this straight away. If in doubt give us a description or idea of what the key opens and we’ll advise if we can cut for you. Some restricted/high security keys can only be copied out with the correct level of authorisation, we may therefore ask you questions to make sure you’re authorised to have the key copied before cutting.
