About ASSA: ASSA is a Swedish high-security lock brand (part of the ASSA ABLOY group) renowned for its Twin series and other locks that use dual locking mechanisms. ASSA keys often have pin tumblers plus a sidebar system – providing two layers of security against picking and unauthorized duplication. For example, ASSA Twin keys have both traditional cuts and side milling that engage a sidebar, and they typically come with a restricted key card. Duplication usually requires an authorized ASSA dealer and the original security card or pin code, since the blanks are patent-protected and not freely available. This means extra steps and proof of ownership are needed to get a spare.

Why Use Mikiz for ASSA Key Duplication:

• No More Red Tape: Traditionally, copying an ASSA key (like a Twin 6000 or Maximum+) means showing an official key authorization card and sometimes obtaining permission from the lock system owner. With Mikiz, the process is simplified – you scan your key with your phone, and we handle the rest through our secure platform. No need to mail in forms or visit a dealer, yet we still ensure you’re the authorized user via our in-app verification.
• Patented Key? No Problem: ASSA high-security keys are usually patented to prevent unauthorized blanks on the market. Mikiz works within these legal protections by sourcing official or high-quality OEM blanks for your key. We respect the patent restrictions – meaning we won’t copy an ASSA key without proper verification – but once verified, we can cut a genuine key that will perform like an original. You get a legitimate duplicate without waiting weeks for the factory to issue one.
• Exacting Precision: ASSA locks are engineered to tight tolerances (their keys often have very precise angles or security ridges). Mikiz’s robotic cutting machines are more than up to the task. They reproduce every angle and depth on your ASSA key with micron-level accuracy. Even the dual cuts (top pins and sidebar cuts) on keys like the ASSA Twin are duplicated so precisely that the key will operate smoothly. Our process helps maintain the lock’s UL 437-rated security by ensuring the duplicate is as good as the original.
• Maintained Key Control: We know ASSA’s value is in key control – knowing exactly how many keys exist. Mikiz supports that by tying each ASSA key order to your verified account and order history. There’s a digital record of the duplicate request (visible only to you and us), which mirrors the accountability you’d get by going through a locksmith. This way, you retain control over key copies.
• Quick & Secure Delivery: Ordering an ASSA key through traditional channels might require a special order and a long wait. Mikiz typically cuts and ships ASSA duplicates within days. We send keys via trackable, insured mail upon request, so your high-security key isn’t lost in transit. All packages are unmarked, and you can even choose to require a signature on delivery for extra security.

How to Duplicate Your ASSA Key via Mikiz:

1. Scan the Key: Launch the Mikiz app and use your phone camera to take clear images of your ASSA key. Be sure to capture any unique features – e.g., side milling or dimples – as the app may prompt different angles. Our system can recognize a wide range of ASSA key profiles from just photos.
2. Confirm Details: After scanning, Mikiz identifies the key type (for instance, whether it’s an ASSA Twin series) and checks if it’s eligible. If the key is part of a restricted system, the app might ask for the key’s code or the security card number. Provide any requested info (securely through the app) to prove authorization. Once verified, proceed to order.
3. Cutting & Shipping: Mikiz uses the scanned data to cut a duplicate on the correct ASSA blank. We then inspect the new key for perfection. Your key is shipped out quickly – often the next business day. Depending on your location, you’ll receive it in 2–5 days. Now you have your ASSA spare in hand, without having broken any rules or leaving your home!
