Cheapest Key Cutting places?
 
Hey guys just wanted to see how much it is for basic key cut for a house key....Anything cheaper than $3 out there?

pingu81 01-08-2013 10:35 AM

For real? Is it even worth your time and effort to post this and keep checking the thread? Just pay the $3.

Iceman-19 01-08-2013 10:37 AM

Hahahah, this is an all new low.

Home Depot is pretty cheap, couldn't tell ya if its cheaper than $3 though...

This is like driving 20kms to save on the $1.50 ATM charge

Careful about Home Depot. I've had 2 experiences where the keys they cut did not work. Got my money back but not going there again. Went there for the convenience. Makes sense to just go to a place that is actually known for cutting keys and pay the $5 or whatever they charge.

lol. OP you're too funny.

anyway, go to Canadian tire. they have mechanical key cutters so they should always work. more accurate than some employee doing it.

+1 stay away from home depot they are horrible. on 3 occasions i had to go back at least 3 times and eventually gave up and went elsewhere after getting my money back.

go to rona. they get it done on the first attempt.

I don't think OP is cheap, I think he just really likes math.

I think what he wants to do is to derive a fuel-distance consumption function, automotive wear-tear function, time-spent function for each suggestion you provide and optimize them.

When he chooses the most theoretically cost-effective path, he will then measure everything about the trip and calculate the errata, and the influence of random variables (ie. traffic, weather, humidity, etc)

Next time he needs a key cut again, he can calculate the variances.

$1.99. Just come to Nanaimo I will cut them for you.

punkwax 01-08-2013 02:54 PM

Dude.

$3.
:facepalm:

dygital 01-08-2013 02:58 PM

Yeah just pay the $3,
All my keys are cut from home depot and I've never had a problem, although like others from this thread ymmv

Yodamaster 01-08-2013 03:43 PM

I'll use Canadian Tire from now on, keys worked the first time, satisfied.

NJMR 01-08-2013 03:52 PM

Maybe he wants to copy like a hundred keys or something. Or copy one key a hundred times, that shit adds up guys.

JesseBlue 01-08-2013 05:00 PM

In my experience with key cutting, you get what you for.

Broadway Locksmiths is my go-to place for key cutting.

Matlock 01-08-2013 05:07 PM

Play dough + candle wax DIY
I'm sure I've seen it on prison break or myth busters or a cartoon or something

Vulture 10-09-2013 01:59 PM

i have access to key cutter. i will do it for $2.

CASH ONLY

pm if interested

radioman 10-09-2013 02:56 PM

Strong bump.

OP is still probably trying to find a cheaper deal out there.

El Bastardo 10-09-2013 03:51 PM

How many keys you gotta cut? Are you a jailer? Do you throw away your keys after you use them for hygienic reasons? Do you plan on leaving keys around the city in a sinister plot to kill Batman?

I will personally pay for your keys to be cut if you give me a reason for this question.

white rocket 10-09-2013 03:51 PM

haha. Still looking for the best deal and remains locked out of his house.
