What are Laser Cut Keys?
Newer laser cut car keys are harder to cut, requiring special equipment.
Laser cut car keys differ from traditional car keys in that the cut of the key does not go all the way through the key. The key is instead milled around the edges or the center of they key.
The milling of the high-security laser key requires special equipment. Though duplication of the laser key is affordable, origination of a laser cut key is complicated and more expensive. Always have a backup of your car’s laser cut key. For more information, see How Do Locksmiths Cut Laser Keys.
Laser key cutting is just one of ACME Locksmith’s Automotive Locksmith Services.
