About Kwikset: Kwikset is one of the most common key brands in America, found in millions of homes. Standard Kwikset house keys (like the KW1/KW10 keyway) are not high-security – they’re easily copied at any hardware store for a few dollars. However, Kwikset also offers the SmartKey™ technology in many of its locks, which allows homeowners to rekey locks themselves. SmartKey locks use a slightly different flat key design and a special resetting tool, but the keys (KW1 or KW10 blanks, or the KWikset “+” profiles) can still be duplicated like normal keys. In short, copying a basic Kwikset key isn’t hard, but Mikiz brings added convenience and some unique advantages even here. For landlords, Airbnb hosts, or anyone who needs spare keys regularly, Mikiz can be a game-changer.

Why Copy Your Kwikset Keys with Mikiz?

• Ultimate Convenience: With Mikiz, your phone is your key copier. There’s no need to drive to Home Depot or find an open locksmith. Simply open the app, scan your Kwikset key, and order a duplicate from your couch. This is perfect for busy individuals or those without a nearby hardware store. It also eliminates the risk of a bad cut from a worn-down machine – Mikiz’s digital process ensures precision every time.
• Works with SmartKey Locks: Have a Kwikset SmartKey™ lock? Mikiz can cut new keys for your SmartKey system just as easily as a regular key. You’ll get a perfect duplicate key, which you can then use to rekey your SmartKey lock if needed (using the SmartKey rekeying tool). This means if you want to change which key opens your door, Mikiz can supply the blanks cut to the right pattern, and you can re-program your lock to that new key. It’s like getting a factory-cut key without visiting a locksmith.
• Lightning-Fast Service: Since Kwikset keys are very common, Mikiz has streamlined their duplication. We typically cut and ship Kwikset duplicates within 24 hours of your order. Many customers receive their keys in just 2–3 business days – which can actually be faster than finding time to visit a store. If you’re in a hurry (e.g., need to get keys to a new roommate by the weekend), Mikiz’s quick turnaround is a huge benefit.
• Quality You Can Trust: Even though standard Kwikset keys are simple, we treat each one with care. Mikiz uses high-quality brass key blanks and state-of-the-art cutting machines. The duplicate you receive will function as smoothly as the original, or we’ll fix it. No more copies that kind of work or need jiggling – our precise calibration means your key will be spot on. We even guarantee satisfaction: if somehow the key doesn’t work, we’ll recut or refund.
• Secure Process: While a basic Kwikset key doesn’t have legal restrictions, Mikiz still ensures your data is secure. The images of your key are used only to create the duplicate and are then disassociated from your personal info. We also send you notifications – when the key scan is received, when the key is shipped – so you have full transparency. You get convenience without worrying about who handles your key data.

How to Get a Kwikset Key Copy via Mikiz:

1. Scan Your Key: Open the Mikiz app and snap a photo of your Kwikset key (both sides). It takes only seconds. The app will show a green light or checkmark when the image is good. (Tip: Most Kwikset keys have “KW1”, “KW10” or similar on them – Mikiz can recognize these profiles from the image.)
2. Confirm Key Type & Order: Mikiz automatically identifies the keyway (SmartKey vs. regular, KW1 vs KW10, etc.) and calculates the cuts. You’ll see the key type on screen. Next, choose how many copies you want and enter your shipping address. Mikiz will display the price – which is typically less than a locksmith’s charge, especially if you’re ordering multiple keys. Proceed to checkout securely.
3. Receive Your Keys: Mikiz cuts your key copies, double-checks them, and sends them out. You’ll get an email or app notification when they ship. Soon, a package arrives with your new keys (often in 2–3 days as noted). Use them right away – they’ll work perfectly. If you also have a SmartKey lock and these are new keys for rekeying, follow your lock’s instructions with the SmartKey tool to reprogram the lock to accept the new Mikiz key. Enjoy the ease of having spare Kwikset keys without a store trip!
