Number, ownership card: what is required
Security keys are protected: depending on the model, the number is enough or the ownership card is required. Each product page states exactly what to provide.
The ownership card
Patented keys are ordered with a photo of the ownership card, or of the security certificate for Vachette: only its holder can get a copy.
No card any more?
Depending on the model: an ownership form with ID and proof of address, a sample key or a new card. A few keys, such as the Bricard X40 or the Fichet F3D, are never copied without the card: the cylinder must then be replaced, see lock change in Paris.
Several keys? The discount is automatic
It covers every key in the cart, whatever the brand and model: for example one master key and three flat keys.

Frequently asked questions about key copies
Where do I find my key number?
Usually it is engraved on the key head: a series of letters and digits. It also appears on the ownership card supplied with the lock. For some patented keys, it is only printed on the card.
Can a key be copied without the ownership card?
It depends on the model. Many keys can be ordered with the number alone. For patented keys, an ownership form with ID and proof of address, a sample key or a new card can replace the card. A few models, such as the Bricard X40, the Fichet F3D or the Abus Mintus, are never copied without the card: the cylinder must be replaced.
How long does it take to receive the key?
8 working days for most models, 21 working days for some brands such as Fichet or Héraclès, and up to 8 weeks for a few Cisa models. The exact lead time is shown on each product page; it starts once your order is validated.
Will the key work in my lock?
Yes: it is an original key, made by the manufacturer from your combination number, just like the keys supplied with your cylinder.
What if I enter the wrong number?
A key made to your number cannot be returned or exchanged. Check the number before confirming: on the product page, a message tells you whether its shape matches the chosen model. If in doubt, send us a photo of the key.
How does the multi-key discount work?
From 2 keys in the cart the price drops by 5%, and from 4 keys by 10%. The discount is applied automatically, across all brands and models.
What is a master key?
A master key opens several locks in the same master key system, for example a building’s shared doors as well as a flat’s door. It has its own number and is ordered from the model’s page: choose the Master key type.
Can’t find your model?
Send a photo of the key, and of the card if you have it: we identify the model and send you the link to the right page.
