Can a locksmith make a key with no original?
Yes. Locksmiths cut keys 'to code' from the lock itself using decoding, impressioning, or the manufacturer's key code.
For a house, the locksmith removes the cylinder, decodes the pin stack, and cuts a fresh working key on-site.
For a car with no key, modern systems read the immobilizer chip from the ignition or the door cylinder, then a new transponder is cut and programmed on-site.
Bring photo ID and proof you own the property or vehicle. Every reputable Clover, SC locksmith asks for this — it protects you against key fraud.
