We provide regular and high-security keys for duplication. We use a key cutting machine to duplicate standard keys. The machine can duplicate mortise keys as well as key cylinders.

You require a machine that is designed to cut high-security keys. This machine is more expensive, but also very accurate. Bring the original key when you receive these keys cut. Modifications in shape can cause the key to be useless.

Framon 2 manual originating machine is known as the most stable and accurate machine in the market. There are a few who have told stories of them falling off their work bench but being fine. We also have the Silca Matrix and the Silca Swift high-security duplicators.

Transponder Programming

If your Citroen has transponder, you'll require a programed key to the system. This is because the transponder chip is unique to each car and when a different key is utilized, the computer on board will not recognise the serial number and cannot allow the engine to start.
