Yes, a locksmith can make a key without the original. The key – small yet mighty – stands as a sentinel to our most prized possessions and private spaces.

A professional locksmith can open any kind of lock and they use a set of professional tools. Some of your higher-security locks might have to be drilled into to get open and in that case your lock will have to be replaced, but it is still cheaper than breaking a window.

Usually by picking the lock. If the lock doesn't pick open easily, and there is no other easy means of ingress, the locksmith will drill the lock cylinder, open the door, and replace the cylinder.

Just like the name suggests, locksmiths are professionals who have been trained to work with keys and locks. They can replace locks, duplicate keys, and even break a lock, without damaging the doorway.
