The once almost ubiquitous key kiosks have
long since gone and many hardware stores no longer provide the
service. Now a company called 'Keys Duplicated' prints keys from
photographs. Snap a picture of any key, send it in, and within a
few days you will receive a duplicate in the mail. The site
suggests to text a link to its page to your phone, or go to
keysduplicated.com on your mobile browser. It says it is easier to
send a key if you visit the page directly on your mobile phone. No
need to download an app.
The charge shows six dollars for the first key and four dollars
for the second, with no shipping charges. The company pitches its
service to people who need an extra key to their own house. LINK
