Cy Drake Locksmiths

The staff is Friendly and knowledgeable, and the store is well stocked with a wide selection of safes, keys, locks, etc etc.
The two guys working there were really helpful and knew what they were doing.

I came to Cy Drake’s after searching all over NJ for a place that could cut laser cut (security cut) keys. The ones where they retain their rectangular shape while being cut for the ignition switch. They were the only people I could find, outside a dealership; who could do such a thing — and I drove about 20 minutes to have them do so.
I brought them a blank and they simply cut it for me. They did warn me, they couldn’t program the key chip; I still had to do that at the dealer. The cost was reasonable, and they were very courteous during the process. In the end, it cost a fraction of what the dealers wanted.

I took them a broken car key/shell…along with a new blank key for them to cut (instead of going to dealer). They cut my blank for $ 70 and told me it was guaranteed. It didnt work. They didnt have a blank in stock to fit my car… it was just bit long… said they’d have the right one in the next day and I’d have to come back… I came back a couple weeks later (they told me on the phone they had the blank in) and they only had the longer version… so they tried cutting that. In the process, the guy told me that the shell and the blade are actually two pieces. He didnt say that all i really needed was to buy a new shell since the original blade was fine. Anyway, he cuts the new blade and its works and he charges me another $ 70 and says they dont guarantee when cutting customer-​supplied blades. Quick $ 70 profit for them I guess. I didnt bother to argue… clearly they need the $ more than me.
I just checked online and can buy the shell (the part that was actually broken) for $ 3…so, rather than sell me the $ 3 part I needed, they charged me over $ 140 to cut two key blanks. I guess that’s good for short-​term profit but not as helpful to me… I wasted $$ and a couple hours with them. Next.

With any and every possible type of key, lock, lockbox and whatever else under the roof, if you need any of these items this is the place to go.
I came here freaking out a bit — I had broken my lock key off in the trunk of my car, and without that couldn’t lock/​unlock my car. I had looked up the costs of locksmiths and had seen all sorts of crazy prices on-​line. So with massive trepidation I drove to Cy Drake and went inside.
Within 10 minutes I had the key out of the lock, two replacement keys made, and $ 10 less in my pocket. Between my own issue and other people’s issues, could tell that the man behind the counter had significant expertise and took care of people.
If you have a lock/​key issue of any sort, go here.
