What Is A Laser Cut Key?

Standard cut keys are made using a regular cutting machine that shapes the key teeth to match the lock. They are easy to make and can be done at almost any hardware store.

Laser-cut keys are much different and instead of cutting teethes the cut is made straight down the middle of the key on both sides.

These keys are usually thicker and more durable than standard keys. In order to create a laser cut key a special computerized CNC machine is required to achieve high level of precision.

Laser cut keys also come with a built in transponder chip that is specifically programmed for your car.

Advantages of a Laser Cut Key

The most obvious advantage is enhanced security and unlike standard keys, laser cut car keys require special tools and machines to duplicate.

Laser cut keys have transponder chip that communicate with the car’s ignition system and when trying to start the engine the ignition searches for the transponder’s specific signal and if it doesn’t match the ignition shuts down adding another layer of security to protect your car against theft.

An additional benefit is that there is a no chance of accidentally using your key in a different car which is a common mistake in large parking lots.

Laser cut keys have a unique design making them almost impossible to fit into another car compared to regular keys.
