Kat-Keys Safe & Lock Co

I own a small business in Saint Paul and Kat-​Keys takes great care of me.
Thanks guys!

great local spot to have keys made. We have never had issues with the keys made here. The service has always been good. We have used them several times in the past

Boo! My friend and I walked in here to get a duplicate key for her 2000 Toyota Camary. First off, there was a guy sitting at the counter talking to a women behind a key making factory looking area (literally, there were rows and rows of keys on the back wall behind her — so random).
They simply couldn’t be bothered by the fact that we had just walked in the store and continued their conversation about keys:
Guy: «what do you do with all those keys that people don’t claim?»
Woman: «Oh we donate them and give them away.»
Guy: «that’s a lot of keys.»
Woman: «yep.»
Me: What?
Finally, another guy stepped out from a back room and asked if we needed help. He wasn’t looking at us so my friend asked, «do you mean me?», he then looked at us and nodded. We went to the counter, handed over the key and said we needed 2 duplicates. He proceeded to tell us it would cost $ 65. Okay, why, will it cost $ 65 per key? The only thing he said was because of the precious metals inside. It took all my strength not to laugh. This wasn’t a FOB, this was a KEY with PLASTIC around it. Precious metals? We asked what kind of precious metals.
Guy 2: «Oh, you know, palladium, titanium.. . «
Us: «so why does it cost $ 65?»
Guy 2: «because it has electronic parts.. «
Us: «okay, but why does it cost $ 65 for one key — it’s not a FOB and it’s not electronic»
Guy 2: «It’s $ 65»
Us: «why is it $ 65»
Guy 2: «the metals and the electronic parts start the car»
AND with that, we took the key back and left. What in the world was he talking about? This is a KEY not He-Man’s Master of the Universe power-​sword with the power of Greyskull in it. l also found it a little odd that they did have a million keys hanging out everywhere in the store.
This place is great to sight see for keys, but not so great to get a car key made. I almost wonder what it would cost to get my house key made. It probably would be $ 30.00 due to the fact that it can tell the time or something.
Maybe they know more about safes and locks rather than keys, but I will NOT be going here when I can go to Home Depot and get my key duplicated for $ 5.99.
