The number of "high security", "laser" or "sidewinder" style keys that are being introduced into the automotive market is increasing at a steady pace. Most car manufacturers now offer vehicles featuring high security type key blades. The style has been standard in European manufactured cars for over 25 years, however North America is just now catching up to the trend.  

Today, you will find these keys on vehicles made by General Motors, Ford, Hyundai/Kia and more. 

Don't lose customers because you don't have the proper machine for the job.

Q:

Edward C. Mangione Locksmiths Inc. wrote: 

"If a locksmith is just starting out...what is the best all around key cutting machine that they should pick up?" 

A:  

While there is no one machine that will duplicate all types of keys, the Bravo III with EZ-Jaw™  is the machine of choice for many locksmiths looking for a basic duplicator.  Duplicator key machine accuracy is very important because most keys presented for duplication are themselves duplicate keys, not the original "factory specification" keys. 
Bravo III w/EZ Jaw is a high precision, heavy duty semi-automatic key machine designed for ultra reliability and ease of use.  The EZ-Jaw four-position vise jaws offer exceptional key gripping, ensuring accurate cutting. These jaws can be quickly rotated from one clamping position to the next without lifting, and will accommodate most residential, commercial, and standard automotive keys without  an adapter. 
If you are looking for a less expensive machine,  we would recommend the 044 HD  from the Ilco� Performance Series. The 044 HD, like the Bravo III is a semi-automatic lever operated duplicator providing fast, accurate results. The 044 HD includes the Super Jaw 3; a four position vise jaw that grips virtually any standard cylinder key (residential, padlock, single and double sided automotive keys). 

Both of these machines are duplicators and will not cut by code or cut specialized keys.

Kaba Ilco offers a broad range of key machines that will fill your specific requirements and price point.
