I had three made for $9 Cdn plus taxes. A quick and easy way to get a new key. They fit perfectly in the house locks and they appear to be a solid metal unlike some others. Great price, good quality ... not much more can be said.

It was a quick and easy experience! I loved skipping the checkout line, and was in and out of the store within minutes :) (Was Christmas Eve, so I was grateful to have this convenience at an inconvenient time ??)
Christine Reimer
This is crazy easy to use! All the keys worked great and it was kinda fun to do. Wish I had more keys to cut!
Leigh Carter
Quite a nifty service: make your own copy of a key in minutes. Instructions were clear, price not bad (about $5), creation starts happening as soon as you enter your credit card, and a shiny new key drops out in a couple of minutes. Located near the automotive counter at Canadian Tire.

It was easy to use and convenient. The part I liked was that I could just put my key into the machine. I did't have to remove it from my key chain. You put the key in just like a car ignition or a door so you can all kinds of things dangling down without causing any problem.
