Question 1

How much does a duplicate car key cost?

Accepted Answer

Duplicates are always cheaper than an all-keys-lost job. Service call starts at $49; the final price depends on the vehicle and whether the key is a basic transponder, remote head key, flip key, or proximity smart key. Every quote is given up front, on-site, in Denver Metro.

Question 2

Why should I get a spare car key?

Accepted Answer

A spare cut and programmed from a working key costs a fraction of an all-keys-lost origination. Skipping it is one of the most expensive decisions a driver can make — every stranded, no-key situation we've responded to would have been solved by a spare in a drawer at home.

Question 3

Can you duplicate a key that has a chip inside?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Transponder chip duplication is one of our most common jobs. We clone or program a second key that starts the vehicle — a hardware-store copy without programming won't.

Question 4

Can you duplicate a proximity smart key?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Push-to-start proximity keys are duplicated on-site for most makes when you have a working original. We pair the new key to the immobilizer, test push-button start, and confirm passive entry before we leave.

Question 5

Can you duplicate my key from the VIN alone?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we cut the blade by code from your VIN and, for most vehicles, program the electronics too. Having a working original just makes it faster and cheaper.

Question 6

How long does a car key duplication take?

Accepted Answer

Most duplicates are 20–45 minutes on-site. Luxury and push-to-start models can take up to an hour. If we need to order a specific OEM housing, we'll set an appointment for the moment it lands.

Question 7

Do you duplicate keys for European luxury cars?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, MINI, Audi, Porsche, Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, and more. These require specialized programming equipment that most locksmiths don't carry; Falcon does.

Question 8

Can you duplicate a key without me being present?

Accepted Answer

No. Vehicle owners must be on-site with photo ID and proof of ownership. That's how a legitimate locksmith operates — anyone offering to duplicate car keys without owner verification is a liability.

Question 9

Where can I duplicate my car key in Denver?

Accepted Answer

You don't have to go anywhere — Falcon comes to you across Denver, Aurora, Lakewood, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, Arvada, Westminster, Thornton, Boulder, Broomfield, Englewood, and 30+ nearby cities. Home, workplace, or public parking lot, we bring the equipment.

Question 10

Is a locksmith cheaper than the dealership?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes — and you save the cost and hassle of towing a working vehicle to the dealer just to add a key. Dealer key programming often takes days; we finish while you wait.
