Key Duplication and Generation
Broadway Locksmith offers one of the largest key blank selections in the greater Seattle area. We even make “skeleton” keys to fit the 100-year-old locks in many neighborhoods throughout our service area — something of a lost art. Our key machines are calibrated to within .0001 inches. Our copies are so accurate that we can make a fifth-generation copy of a key that will still work flawlessly in the same lock as the first-generation original. Contrast that with keys from a hardware store, where getting a working copy can be a real crapshoot.
At Broadway, we also have the ability to generate an original code key from your worn key by comparing its cuts to the factory code depths. In many cases, creating a code key can alleviate lock problems such as difficulty in turning your key. This can also prevent unnecessary wear on the wafers in your car’s locks. If you have the code for your key, we can cut a key to match it. This can save you a lot of money!
Broadway Locksmith has remained a family-owned business since the 50s. We have numerous code books for steamer trunks and padlocks that may be some of the last in existence! If you have an old steamer trunk, not only can we unlock it for you, but we can also cut you a code key generated from our large code library of books from the early 20th century — a resource many other locksmiths won’t have.
Get your keys stamped here for free. If you want us to sequentially stamp your keys so everybody’s key is identifiable, we will do it for no extra cost.
We take pride in providing attentive customer service. When you choose Broadway Locksmith, you can expect:
- Code key cutting derived from a worn key or code
- Key duplication while you wait – walk out in two minutes!
- Key Fitting for Luggage, Lockers, & File Cabinets
- High Security Medeco & Primus Locks
- Huge key blank selection
- Free parking in our parking lot
- Get 100 keys cut within the hour
- Custom “skeleton” bit keys filed by hand
Stop into our Capitol Hill shop and we’ll copy that 100-year-old key that nobody else has blanks for! We look forward to serving you.

Lock Rekeying and Master Keying
Are you sure you know where every copy of your building’s key is? Could former employees still have a key? Or perhaps someone picked up a lost or stolen key? Consider who may have access to your building with that key that hasn’t changed in twenty years! If you want to be sure you’re in control of who has access to your property, Broadway Locksmith can take your lock apart and “rekey” it, meaning the old key won’t work anymore. No need to buy a new lock! We can rekey your current lock as an affordable way to keep your existing lock with the added security of a new key.
If your property features varying levels of security, you may be interested in a master key system. Your key can be made to open every lock on your property, but lower security areas can be accessed with a different key. Multiple keys can unlock the same lock!
Using a master key system designed at our shop, you can partition your property into areas of higher security and lower security. Or you can master key an apartment building so that every unit has a separate key but all of them can be opened with one master key. Gain the same advantages that many city government offices and private business owners have known for decades: life is simple if you have a master key system from Broadway Locksmith! If you lose the last of your keys for Suite 204, we can cut more for you if we generated your master key system. Using a master key system, we can also guarantee that no key in the system will work in a lock it was not designed for.
Hire Broadway and you leverage decades of knowledge and experience. Our shop has master keyed buildings in every corner of Seattle and provided businesses with commercial-quality security solutions that stand up to all of the vandalism a city environment can throw at your door.
