When people buy homes, cars, or anything that has a lock and key needed to open the lock, most often duplicate keys will need to be made for other members of the family or to have on hand in case of an emergency. 

Ordinarily, folks go to the local hardware store to get keys made but sometimes people will need to see a locksmith who can cut duplicate keys from electronic keys, chipped keys, or rare keys that go to old houses. However, what do you do when you are in a situation where you just finished shopping, get to the car, and accidentally break half the key off in the lock? Worse, you have a car that doesn’t have OnStar or AAA, it’s getting dark!?
