The Best Key Code Cutting Machines
Car keys can be copied using a simple code
Cutting to code is a relatively new key-cutting method that does not rely on creating a copy of an existing key. Copying existing keys can be tricky if the original key is damaged. Modern key-cutting machines come equipped with software that can cut a new key using an existing key's code or even a photo of the existing key. Most of the keys that have codes are car keys. The code is normally located in the driver's manual or on the original tag that came with the keys. The following is a selection of the best key-code cutting machines on the market:
