About Banham: Banham is a prestigious security company based in the UK (since 1926) known for high-security locks, particularly in London and the UK market. Banham door locks (like the Banham cylinder and mortice locks) are police-preferred for their strength, and their keys are strictly controlled. A Banham key (often a dimple-style key with 10–12 pins) comes with a Banham Gold Card that proves you’re authorized to copy it. To get a Banham key duplicated, one usually must go to a Banham showroom or approved agent with the original key, the gold registration card, and personal photo ID. Sometimes even a letter of authorization is required if you’re a tenant or managing keys for someone else. This rigorous process ensures no unauthorized person can get a copy – but it’s also a hurdle for legitimate key owners, especially outside the UK.

Why Mikiz for Banham Key Duplication:

• Authorized Copies Without the Trip: Mikiz provides a way for Banham lock owners (e.g., UK expatriates in the US, or anyone who has a Banham lock installed) to get a genuine duplicate without traveling to a Banham center. Through our app, you can securely prove your ownership by scanning the key (and possibly your Gold Card if prompted) right from home. We adhere to Banham’s security requirements digitally, saving you a potentially international trip or mailing of documents.
• Strict Verification: We know Banham’s policy is “registered owner only.” Mikiz mirrors this by using multi-factor verification for Banham key orders. When you scan your Banham key, we will likely request the unique code from your Banham Gold Card or a scan of the card itself. We may also use account information (like matching your name to an official ID if required) to ensure only authorized individuals get duplicates. This maintains the high trust level Banham promises, even though the process is online.
• High-Precision Cutting: Banham keys typically have very complex dimple patterns (Banham cylinders can have 12 pins in two rows). Mikiz’s cutting hardware is up to the challenge – we have the capability to cut dimple keys to exact factory specs. We obtain the proper blank that matches your Banham key profile (since Banham locks often have exclusive blank types) and cut it precisely according to the code derived from your original. The duplicate key will be just as secure and smooth-working as one cut by Banham themselves.
• Maintain Audit Trail: When Mikiz duplicates a Banham key, we keep an internal record tied to your verified request – kind of like Banham’s practice of recording the number of keys produced. This means you can always refer back to when a copy was made and for whom. It adds peace of mind for property managers who might need to track key copies for insurance or security audits. (This record is private, accessible to you upon request; Mikiz does not share it, it’s just for transparency if needed.)
• Secure Shipping: Given the sensitive nature of Banham keys, Mikiz ships them with care. Packages have no branding or key type labels. You can choose to require a signature or even have it held at a local pickup point so that the key isn’t just left in a mailbox. These options ensure that even when duplicating a very secure key, the delivery remains secure too.

How to Copy a Banham Key with Mikiz:

1. Scan and Submit Info: Open the Mikiz app and scan your Banham key. Because Banham keys are high-security, the app will definitely prompt for the key’s code or card. Be prepared to either enter the key number (if one is on your card) or take a photo of the Gold Card. Follow the app’s instructions to provide any additional verification (e.g., confirming your identity or address if needed).
2. Approval & Order: Mikiz will verify the details. This step might take a little longer for Banham keys as we double-check authorizations (but still likely just minutes). Once approved, you’ll get a confirmation in-app. Now select the number of copies (Banham might limit how many spares are typically allowed, but with proof, you can request what you need). Enter your shipping details, and complete the order.
3. Cutting & Delivery: Our team uses the data to cut your Banham key on a matching blank. Each cut is tested in a gauge or a lock simulator to ensure it’s perfect. We then send the key via a secure courier or tracked mail. Depending on your location, you may receive it in a few days (overseas shipping could be slightly longer, but we expedite where possible). When the key arrives, use it confidently – it will operate your Banham lock just like the original, granting you a much-needed spare without any security compromise.
