I visited Wolfe Safe & Lock to have a replacement key made after my original broke in half. I had both pieces, which meant it was entirely possible to duplicate. However, instead of doing the job, the locksmith lazily claimed they didn’t have the “key mold” for it. That excuse makes no sense—any real locksmith (or even someone with basic experience in key cutting) knows that as long as the blank fits the lock, the grooves can be duplicated onto it, even if the replacement key is slightly longer. I’ve personally done this when I worked in home improvement stores with far more basic machines than what a full-service locksmith should have.

On top of that, he made an unnecessary remark about the key being “cheap” and “made in China”—as if that had anything to do with the ability to cut a new key. Key manufacturing origin has zero relevance to whether a new key can be made. A new key could have been cut from a blank made anywhere, including the U.S., as long as it fit the lock. That comment felt completely unnecessary and borderline xenophobic.

So, that leaves only three possible explanations: laziness, prejudice, or an attempt to upsell me. Instead of taking 5 minutes to make a new key for a few bucks, they tried to push me into having them cut off the entire lock—something way more expensive and completely unnecessary. This is classic bad business practice: exploit the customer instead of helping them.

This is exactly why so many “old-school” service businesses are dying—because they prioritize short-term profits over long-term customer trust. If you want a locksmith who actually does their job instead of making excuses, go somewhere else.

UPDATE: After my frustrating experience at Wolfe Safe & Lock, I drove 30 minutes to another locksmith in Amsterdam, NY who had ZERO issues making a new key from my broken fragments. Not only did they successfully duplicate the key, but they also provided a stronger, American-made key blank—completely disproving the excuse that my original key was “too cheap” or “made in China” to work with.

The difference in service was night and day. This locksmith didn’t try to upsell me, didn’t feed me false information, and charged me only $4 and some change for the service your business refused to provide. I even offered to pay double out of appreciation, and they refused because they actually value their customers.

Your refusal to help wasn’t due to a lack of ability—it was either laziness, an attempt to upsell, or something worse. Thanks to an honest locksmith, I avoided paying hundreds of dollars for unnecessary lock-cutting services. Do better.

Zack was great! Had a tenant that was locked out due to an engaged deadbolt and Zack was able to resolve the issue promptly (within 30 minutes of me calling for help)! Would definitely use services again if I ever ran into another situation like this! Highly, Highly recommend!

Keys worked fine once I brushed the metal shaving off…they took so long it made my back hurt standing there for so long. Otherwise it was a good experience since I didnt feel like going to the hardware store which may have been cheaper. Just wish I had kept either my father or grandfather’s equipment to do it myself.

I just put the original in and the machine scanned it and I requested two copies to be made. The process took a little time. A little bit longer than I expected but the keys came out fine and worked
