High-Security Key Duplication
Controlled Duplication for Restricted Keys in Amarillo, TX
We provide high-security key duplication with strict authorization and clear records. Our team supports restricted keyways that stop unauthorized key duplication and protect access across your site. You receive precise cuts, organized documentation, and a 90-day warranty on labor and parts.
Frog’s Safe & Key serves Amarillo and towns within 60 miles with storefront and mobile service Monday through Saturday. We support master key systems and IC cores for offices, clinics, schools, retail, and warehouses. Orders move through verification, cutting, testing, and secure handoff.
What Counts as a High-Security Key
IC cores are an optional and crucial piece of the puzzle we assemble to ensure your security is elevated and rock-solid.
High-security locks use restricted keyways and added internal checks. The profile and the cut pattern must match before the plug turns. This design raises physical security and tightens control over who holds keys.
We support proprietary keyways, including ASSA Abloy Twin 6000 and MX Alpha. These platforms follow exact spacing and depth rules and use controlled blanks for accuracy. The result is consistent operation and fewer surprises at the door.
Authorization, Records, and Chain of Custody
We confirm the requester is authorized to access the account before any cuts. The head stamp and your account records guide the work order and signer list. Each duplicate receives a permanent log entry with keyway, quantity, and contact.
Pickup and delivery follow the same controls. We verify ID at handoff and capture the matching signature. Your key system stays organized, and audits move quickly.
Keyways and Programs We Support
- ASSA Abloy Twin 6000 and MX Alpha restricted keyways
- Master key system levels and sub-levels with documented control
- IC core programs with controlled key stamping and tracked swaps
- High-security padlocks keyed to your existing key system
Duplication, Code Cutting, and Bench Testing
We match the key type, confirm the code, and set the machine to the correct space and depth. Our calibrated key machines and gauges produce consistent results across new keys and replacements. Each key receives a visual check, a gauge check, and a smooth turn test in a matched cylinder before packaging.
We label and package your order with the location and order number. The log updates at pickup or delivery, and your copy of the paperwork mirrors our records. You leave with keys that work and a file that shows who has access.
When to Order Controlled Duplicates
- New staff or vendor access that needs tracked keys
- One-for-one replacements for damaged or worn keys
- Department rollouts that add doors to a master key system
- Seasonal needs that require high-security padlock keys on gates
Upgrades, Rekeys, and System Add-Ons
We migrate sites from open keyways to restricted keyways on a planned schedule. Cylinders and IC cores change in stages, and your team receives new keys with documentation. We can key high-security padlocks into the same system and log those keys under the correct department.
Lost keys require a clear response. We reset cylinders or swap IC cores, update the authorized list, and record new counts. Your inventory returns to known values, and access stays controlled.

High-Security Key Duplication FAQs
Can you duplicate security keys?
Yes. Frog’s Safe & Key performs high-security key duplication under documented authorization. We record each copy in a permanent log and keep your high-security locks and key system under control.
Is it illegal to copy a security key?
Restricted keys come with patent and key control rules. We verify the authorized contact and then duplicate the key on our calibrated key machine. This process prevents unauthorized key duplication and protects access.
How much does it cost for a locksmith to make a copy of a key?
The price depends on the keyway, code cutting method, and quantity. High-security keys use restricted blanks and precision cutters. We share an itemized estimate before we produce new keys.
What is considered a high-security key?
High-security keys use restricted blanks and added security features that the cylinder checks before turning. Examples include ASSA Abloy Twin 6000 and MX Alpha. These key types reduce open copying and keep duplication secure.
How do high-security keys work?
The key’s space and depth pattern align with internal checks in the lock. Many systems add side cuts or sidebar technology for accuracy and control. The plug turns only when the full pattern matches.
How do you duplicate a restricted key?
We confirm the authorized account, match the head stamp, and cut to code on a calibrated machine. Each duplicate is bench-tested in a matched cylinder and entered in the log for traceability.
Can big-box stores copy these keys or padlock keys?
Most retail counters do not stock restricted blanks or support controlled programs. We handle duplicating keys for high-security padlocks and doors under authorization and then update your record.
Can you add new keys to our master key system?
Yes. We add keys at the correct level, align IC cores and cylinders, and update your master key system log. Stamping and records stay consistent across the company.
How long does duplication take?
Timing depends on the keyway, quantity, and authorization. After approval, we complete code cutting, testing, and documentation, then schedule pickup or delivery the same day or the next business day when parts are in stock.
Do you support sidewinder and specialty cuts?
Yes. Our professional locksmiths use machines equipped for sidewinder and other advanced profiles. We set the proper cutters and guides to maintain accuracy for your model and key weight class.
